Back to my Mexico!

I made it back to Puerto Vallarta after 91 days in the US!  It was a great summer but it sure feels good to be back to the warm weather and to look out any window in my house and see the OCEAN!  I didn't realize how much I missed the ocean!!

This was the sunset I came home to from my living room!  It's good to be back~!

Some Great Blogs!

So my blog friend Leslie from "Leslie writes it all" has put together a great page on her blog about all us Expats living in Mexico!  Click here to check out some other great blogs! Enjoy!!

My Summer Concert Series!

It's been an amazing summer in the Pacific Northwest!  One thing I really miss while living in Mexico is going to concerts!  Well I made up for it this summer............I have been to all these concerts in the past 2 months!

Sayulita and a STORM!

We went to Sayulita yesterday to check on the gallery, stock things up and have a little girls day!  I bought more stuff at Revolution del Sueno......can't seem to get enough of their great tops and pillows!~  

A little sample of my purchases!!  Love that I got most of it at 50% off too~  Love me a summer sale in the tropics!!  

On our way home we got caught in a HUGE RAIN STORM!  Seems to be the theme lately!

Holy Storm!!

Mother nature gave us a show and a lot of rain last night here in Puerto Vallarta!  It rained for more than 4 hours hard!  The streets were FLOODED!  The thunder and lightning were like something out of a movie!  I posted a little video clip!  It went on like that for hours!  Enjoy!

Photo update

I leave for the US on the 24th of this month.......in exactly 16 days......yikes!  I am excited to spend the rest of the summer and fall in the Pacific Northwest working and doing jewelry shows but I am going to miss my Mexico and my life here so much!  But as they say, we must do what we have to do to survive and keep the business growing!  I have so many great opportunities that I don't want to miss out on!  Here is a little update of my last week here in pictures.  Enjoy, I am off to the beach.......happy Sunday!

My new shoes from Cachito Mio designer Ximena Cortes, I am IN LOVE

With these shoes!  Hand made from Oxacan hand embroidered fabrics!  Love Love Love!!

It's Passion Fruit season in PV and I can't get enough!  I ate a kilo in 2 days......it's my drug!

The sunsets from my living room have been spectacular!  I love living in Puerto Vallarta

Best Weekend EVER!

Yes it was a bit of an EPIC weekend!!  We drank, swam, laughed, ate, partied, shopped, watched lots of rockin competitions........all in all we enjoyed Sayulita to it's fullest!  It's such a wonderful destination, I forget how lucky we are to have it just in our "back yard"  I have the most amazing group of friends here.  I couldn't ask for more.  We had such a WONDERFUL weekend.  My friend Sofia from Argentina just posed this on her FaceBook wall and it really sums up or life here!!

Caminando por la hermosa playa de Sayulita, me dije:"Estoy tan agradecida de todo lo que la vida me ha dado hasta ahora,por conocer gente maravilosa que todavia me sorprende con su buen corazon, por mis experiencias,por las delicias que he comido, por los amores, por los amigos...no me arrepiento de absolutamente nada, porque todo lo hice con mucho amor y con todo el consentimiento de mi corazon....y lo mejor y que faltan muchas cosas mas :)....soy feliz!

Walking along the beautiful beach of Sayulita, I thought to myself, "I am so grateful for everything that life has given me so far,meeting wonderful people with big hearts still is a wonderful surprise, eating delicious food, seeing love... I do not regret anything because everything I did with love and with all my heart's consent .... and missing the best and much more :) .. I'm happy ..!

Where did we go in Sayulita????

Lovin me some Rev.........bought a shirt, pillow and a onsie for my niece here today........all at 50% off but......would have paid full price!  Awesome store, click on the photo below to take you to their site!  Don't forget got check it out next time you are in Sayulita!

We stayed at Vogue Hotel or Bunglaows Sayulita!  I can HIGHLY recommend it!  Great rooms, super clean, 2 blocks from the beach, cute, cute, cute!!!  Click below to go to the website!

6 Months..........WHAT??

It's been 6 months since a post.........what can I say, growing a small business in a foreign country takes a lot of time, energy and hard work!  The season here is slow now and I have had some time to 1.  Plan and have my birthday party with my Puerto Vallarta family................2.  This weekend I hear we are going to the beach..........From June 7-10, 2012, Sayulita will host the First National Stand Up Paddle Championship. Sixty of Mexico's best SUP competitors from 12 different states are expected to compete.  My friend Chelow went to Sayulita today to rent us a Bungalow!  Looking forward to a super fun weekend!!  Below are a few photos from my Birthday Party!!  Enjoy!
