Candy Corn Princess

Candy Corn Princess that is what my Sweet Girl was 

called all day at the most Magical Place on Earth....yes Disney World Magic Kingdom!

Which of course she loved and embraced because we have watch Spookley's Square Pumpkin

every. single. day. in. October. So needless to say...we are loving the Fall

and all things nice like Pumpkin Spice! 

Check out the details on this cute Candy Corn Dress!

Today I wanted to share how adorable and easy this Candy Corn

Dress was to make for the Season for my little girl.

It is one of her favorites and she loves to wear it!

Great for all the fun activities the Fall brings with Halloween and Pumpkin Patches.

Of course I saw the idea on Pinterest on a Tutorial for Pillow Case Dresses...

so I brought it back to the Honeybee Hive.

Go to your local Craft Store in this case I got my supplies at Joanne's

(with coupons in hand) and bought the Supplies.

The Fabric and Ribbon were the basic requirements to make this 

Candy Corn Princess Dress. Here is a great DIY Tutorial from Pinterest

on making your very own Dress. I will definitely make one next year too.

So super cute...

The fun thing about these Dresses is that anything goes...

you can change the Ribbons or even the Pattern for different Holidays or Seasons.

This little Candy Corn Princess is laughing her little heart out all Season long.

Happy that the Fall weather has arrived and the holiday season is here!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy making your little dresses too!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday My Friends!

Oh do I have a new obsession for Happy Hour!

I just can't get enough of these Refreshing and Delicious 

"Moscow Mules". Oh these little babies are so divine.

I have been hooked on these all Summer with this heat!

We just got back from San Francisco and I am obsessed!

We played around with the Recipe over the Summer with Fresh Strawberries, but

I am telling you friends...the Traditional Moscow Mule is where it's at!

In my opinion....it's all about the Cold Copper Mug and the Ice!

Oh yes...I have to recreate this little Cocktail at home.

Check out these fabulous Copper Mugs Here. A Must Have for your Home Bar!!!

I am on it...and bringing back that San Francisco Classic and Traditional Bar to Tampa!

Can we just talk about how fabulous the Bars are in San Francisco!

I just love this City! It is so charming. Not to mention

the weather is a pleasure...the Bars were so traditional and Classic.

The attention to details with the Bartenders and their Hand Crafted Cocktails.

Simply Perfection!

After being in the Beverage Industry for 10 years...

it's almost in grained in me to study back bars. I always

look at Drink Menus, Wine List, and Back Bars.

And of course what's hot and what's not.

But I love tradition. And San Francisco was truly a treat

for this Southern Florida Girl. 

It was a fantastic time full of Happy Hour!

And with that being said...you must dive into a 

Moscow Mule. Such a great refreshing cocktail. 

I know it's 5 O'Clock Somewhere! 

Check out a Moscow Mule Recipe Here.

Pay attention to the details...I am pretty sure it can make or break the Cocktail!

Ism't the Beauty of Life in all the Little Details.

Enjoy your Happy Hour!

Cheers!!!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday My Friends!

I have a very special Happy Hour Post from my sister in law, Vicki in Portugal. 

My family has had an incredible opportunity to live

in Lisbon, Portugal for a few years with my brother Jon's job in the Navy.

They are courageous and adventurous and all sorts of fun.

Of course they are on the most amazing European Travels daily!

So, I live vicariously through their fun...including the Winery Tours.

These Wineries are beautiful! Today, Vicki is sharing some of her gorgeous pictures from

Bacalhoa Winery.  If you haven't had a chance to tour a Winery and learn 

first hand the process of making wine...put it on your bucket list.

Wines have wonderful stories that go back generations. Family history.

And usually some great juice. It's fun and fresh...and most wineries have

their special wines that never even get released. So ...touring a Winery

is Must Do! Check out this fabulous Tour from Bacalhoa Winery of Portugal.

Bacalhoa Winery of Portugal is one of the biggest and innovative

Wineries of Portugal. Bacalhoa is family owned and been producing

wines since the 1920's. Some of my favorite White Wines are from Portugal.

And Vicki said her Top Favorites from Bacalhoa were White Wines too.

If you haven't had the chance to try a Moscato ...she recommends the 

2002 Moscatel Roxo. These are delicious sweet wines.

Great with Coffee or Dessert. Intense aromas and layers of flavors of Orange Blossoms, Caramel,

Almonds, and Honey. Portugal Wines are Terrific Values too. 

Another top favorite from the Bacalhoa Winery is the Catarina White ...It is a Chardonnay.

Pale Yellow in Color, very delicate and elegant. It is a mouthful of Light Fresh Peach and Pineapple.

Terrific Wine for those hot days and relaxing outdoors. 

Both of these Wines are Great Values for under $15.

Thank you Vicki for sharing your Winery Fun with us!

Take the Time to Cheers to the Ones you Love!

Here's to a Happy, Healthy, and Fun Weekend!

Cheers My Friends!!!
