This is Ivy's Porch in Scott's Valley CA. It was a nice little surprise that my hubby darling love of my life treated me to. When I flew out to join him in CA for a business trip that he was on, I knew that our little mini vacation would have us visiting San Francisco and then on to Yosemite but I never dreamed that he would take the magazine that I brought to read on the plane ride, Romantic Homes, and map out a day of visiting as many Romantic shops that our days would allow.
Now they say, whoever they are, that the perfect vacation a couple can have is when you allow each person to do what they really want. I knew that he wanted to go to Yosemite and I wanted to see the Painted Ladies in San Francisco so this side trip was a beautiful gift to me.
So do you want to see Romantic Shop # 1?

And as you can see even the table says we are in for some "White." Perfect for a White Wednesday posting, don't you think?
White eye candy here and
White eye candy there.
How about a little slice of White?
And if you can't get enough White inside then lets go outside,
around White fountains and through white arbors until a little White cherub blesses you.
with an exlposion of beautiful pink roses climbing up White trellises.
Leaving you with one perfectly, White, beautiful quote.
I do thank God for this wonderful trip and most importantly for a wonderful hubby that shows me he loves me in so many colorful ways.
Longing for more? Then go on over to Kathleen's blog, www.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com and visit all the other lover's of White.

Beautiful tour. Thank you.
Now that's a wonderful husband you've got there Becky! I can't think of anything more thoughtful than this, and more fun! This would definitely be a place to get your white fix.
Isn't Yosemite a beautiful place too? I hope your trip was wonderful!

I always knew that Dave was a wonderful, loving husband. Taking the time to plan this trip for you was so very thoughtful. Great big hugs for him!

I will have to put this place on my go to list. It is about 2 hours from where I live. Sure looks like a great place! Thanks for sharing with us.
Yosemite is one of our favorite spots on earth. I hope that you were able to witness the amazing waterfalls there. They were in full glory in the spring because we have had sooooo much snow this year.
Becky
