The Girls Are Back

Well, after a nice wonderful weekend full of laughs, sun and much Diva'ing....we are back to our real lives. What a fun time my girlfriends& I had.......I couldn't have asked for three better friends to have spent a beautiful girls weekend with!

I love this little winery......Peninsula Cellars. Their tasting room used to be an old school house and then it was an art studio of some friends of DH's family before becoming part of the winery......they even use chalkboards inside to write "I will not drink bad wine", awards, promotions, etc.....so cute!

This is Diva S wearing our Pink Lemonade necklace isn't it just too cute on her! Course she is adorable and yes I am completely biased, LOL!!
Diva Z was loading up on some of her new favorite's!!!

2 Lads winery is just fantastic and has hands down the BEST view from a tasting room with beautiful views of Lake Michigan from every angle......they are the newest winery on the peninsula these days and are rapidly becoming known for their sparkling wines and reds! Here is the gang! Diva K, Diva Z, Diva S & Diva J course we are all wearing some cute new Beach Haus Designs jewelry while we were doing our sampling & food pairings.......honestly there was some amazing food samplings like an artichoke spread that was out of this world from Bower's Harbor Inn ( Ben & I got engaged at this fabulous restaurant)

Kim getting off the phone with her adorable little girls.......She is the owner of Girl Party TuTu's that I have told you about in the past!! Nice to put faces & names together isn't it??? LOL!!

Can't tell we are having a good time , can you???


Chateau Chantal was our last stop for the evening before heading back to the cottage for a beach fire. Chateau Chantal has the best view of a sunset and the whole setting is just beautiful so it was fitting that we ended our Diva's tour here.
The rest of our weekend was spent sitting on the beach, the deck, checking out some great little restaurants ( discovered that I liked baked potato pizza, who knew!) and we got in a little shopping and even went to a Daylily & Iris Farm that Diva K fell in love with.......

All in all it was fabulous, relaxing & just what we all needed and now we are looking forward to our next adventure in the fall as well as doing "Diva's Uncorked" on Old Mission again next year!

Sparkling Cheers To Everyone!!!

Girlfriends & New Beach Friend Links

This weekend is going to be a bit of a re-charge as I am heading UpNorth with some girlfriends for a fun girls weekend! YIPPEE! Don't you think we all need one of those? A think a bit of re-charge is in order.....just think of all of the new creative ideas that will be popping out, at least that is hope, right? LOL!

But first I want to leave you with a few new things as well as a couple of links.....

You know me, we have to do "beachy" designs here & I love our new starfish in black lava stone with turqoise & Swarovski crystals!!!

Blue Italy is so light & airy but the Murano glass twist pendant is so beautiful when you can see the gold & white through the glass.......

Candy Jade, Mother of Pearl, Swarovksi crystal & sterling silver.....simply sweet & beautiful!

I think this necklace hits just the right note of sweet & fun, what do you think?? Again, light & airy but still colorful with all the mother of pearl & swarovski crystals

This is a bit of a fall preview so don't get too excited yet.........but I love this necklace full of Smoky quartz crystal pendant, handblown glass, 14ktgf, and vintage carnellian....striking & beautiful!Course I know you are not surprised at all that I have shells in my collection at all, are you? I love abalone shell and this one is double sides so it doesn't matter which way you wear it, perfect!!!

So I am going to start spotlighting on our blog once a week some of
the Beachy Links & Friends that I love so here we go........

I am also very excited to say a dear friend is about to be a grandmother.......Lidy at FrenchGardenHouse!! Congrats! She is in for more fun than she can even begin to imagine. Check out her shop she has beautiful sparkly crowns, gifts and more beautiful things than I can mention here.....

Also, check out Girl Party Tutus for the cutest tutu's for your little one......I just gave one to a friend of mine for her newborn for some adorable baby pictures!

If you are in the market for some fabulous tea you must check out Dori at Island Tea House! She has the yummiest tea and I just love reading the descriptions alone.....

Gina at The Nest has some of the cutest aprons around in her beautiful shop in Eureka Springs.......I love that cute little town so does Ben....it has such good memories for us!

Gabriela Delworth is just a treasure & her one of a kind crowns are well just that as well!!! I am going to have her make one for Little Assistant #1's upcoming birthday party......I will tell more about the theme & such later.....(Hint: going to be VERY girly this year!!)

I will have more for you next week.....off to the beach's of Lake Michigan!!!

Hope you have a Sparkling Day!!
