Hurry up and SLO down

San Luis Obispo

is starting to find it's way into my heart... How could it not when the famous Madonna Inn is just across town?? I'm pretty much obsessed with this place. The best way I can describe it to someone who's never been there is to say that it feels like a real-life Disneyland for adults. Each of the one-hundred nine rooms are individually decorated based on a certain theme. The hotel was built over the course of several decades so it has that vintage, day-glow 60's/70's feel.

Ok, so here are some photos I took whilst wandering around the place:


You can't miss the sign from the road, it glows from about 10 miles down the highway...


The entrance to the main lobby of the hotel... Feeling that quirky, Disneyland vibe yet?


This decorative chandelier lights the hallway and adds a jolly charm to the (real) rock wall.


The Gold Rush Steakhouse. I was lucky enough to see it decorated for Valentines Day...
Spectacular!

The kitschy Copper Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal at the circular bar.


Pink Champagne Cake.... ahhh heaven. It actually has a sparkly champagne taste!



I also made a new lot of jewelry that I'm very excited to share with you. These cute antique-y rings are made from vintage costume jewelry, keys, pins, and charms. They are all adjustable so you can where them on any finger.

$12 each or 2 for $20

Enjoy










That's all for today...
Tomorrow I'm heading to Morro Bay and Hearst Castle which should prove to be inspiring in the least!
