Bit of a tradition with me and my M-O-M…..we attend the Mansion in May. The fundraiser does not happen every year, so it is quite the event for us to get gussied up and go….complete with lunch al fresco at the café after we tour the mansion….
I did not bring my camera (big ol’ DUH on my part) so I have a few shots from my cell. They do not allow photography inside the mansion, BUT outside is fair game. I will have to go back – there is a nifty colony of turtles playing croquet…and a creative cornucopia branch sculpture made from the “invasive” growth that they cleared.
Interesting thing about these mansions – they always have at least 4 full bars and 3 mini bar/closets throughout the house…wherever you go, you can grab a drink…getting dressed, in the study, in the kitchen, etc.. (so if you are rich, it’s ok to be drunk ALL the time? How many martinis does one REALLY need in a day??) The mansion this year had 6 bars and 4 mini bar/closets!! (that was inside the house – there were 2 more outside!)
Repurposing styrofoam as a swanky lamp!

Since they have top notch landscapers compete for these outdoor rooms, you get some gardening inspiration! (purple rocks that you would put at the bottom of a vase)
Forget the purple African Daisies…I want to plant these!!
