We are freaking out over the newly added bralettes! Our gemstone colored batch makes these delicate laced beauties easy to add to any ensamble. The biggest problem that we have is which one to keep:) </div>

Summer seems to have slipped through our fingers:( The days of picnicking, watching sunsets, barbecuing, and catching those magical lighting bugs seems to come and gone sooo fast and as I listen to the Paper Kites record, I feel a little sad. I love summer so much, I don't ever want the season to end. If you are from the Midwest, then you will understand having a bond to one of the four seasons we are given:) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, the many memories I have from these past few weeks............Ahhhhhhhh, I just never want these days to end.</div>

You may ask, "is it wrong to deplete all health benefits of fruit by wrapping a greasy, salty slab of meat around it"? Well the answer is HECK NO! These little suckers are so tasty, that you won't think twice popping a few in your mouth in a record amount of time (no judging on my eating habits please)!</div>

It has been no secret of my love affair with summertime and with this love come tasty treats that only compliment my relationship. Pineapple is in season and is a staple for summertime grilling, so it only seemed natural to make a appetizer with this fruit. </div>

We have been on a Mojito kick latley. Maybee its summer that sets this delicious drink into an afternoon must have or the fact that I have the worlds largest mint plant and need a reason to use it, but either way these babies are delicious. We have experimented with other types of fruit (mango, cherry, and pineapple), but if you are serving to a crowd, the blueberry version is fast and easy....no chopping required.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ingredients (makes 1 drink):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 blueberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 to 8 mint leaves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 teaspoons of sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 cup (2 ounces) of white rum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup of ice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of club soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lime slice for garnish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Muddle (smash together) the blueberries and mint with the lemon juice and sugar in the shaker. Add rum to shaker. Fill your glass with ice. Place your shaker over the glass filled with ice and pour. Add the soda to the remaining space (about an inch of soda). Add your decretive straw and lime and sip, sip, sip.</div>

This past weekend I helped set up a wedding in a really unique venue, <a href="http://www.salvageone.com/home.php">Salvage One</a>. By day they are a vintage warehouse of unique finds and retro to reclaimed furniture pieces, but look closely and you will find lounge stations, bars, and even a stage where a hired band can rock out your next event. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eye candy for any photographer, this space was a fun find. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite area of this 60,000 sq. ft. space was the outdoor garden/patio. A little unkempt but trimmed in just enough places to make it not seem over grown, fountains made from bathtubs, and pergolas grand enough to rest under with your sweetie. Basically my dream garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are in the area, pop in for a look see.....it's worth it:)</div>

I come across these beautiful and timeless crystal/glass vases at thrift stores all the time. It's kinda sad really how at one time this beautiful vase was a prized piece in someones china cabinet but because styles drastically changed, they where discarded and forgotten (tear). Well, I have come to the rescue and have given my once forgotten vases a SUPER quick makeover.....and to be honest, I think they are feeling sexy in their new look! </div>

I need a little bit of folkie rock today and The Barr Brothers definitely delivers. Rough vocals, raw instrumental sounds, and lyrics that work, these brothers have won me over. This Tuesday is going to be a good one!

Summer is my favorite season for soooo many reasons, but let me explain why.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how the warm heat is inhaled, how evenings are lightning bug filled, how grilling is a daily occurrence, how flip flips become my go-to shoe, how gardening is my exercise, bon fires are weekends gathering spots and walking the pups is a time of exploration in our new neighborhood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really, what isn't there to love? Oh, well, maybe the midwest humidity and what it does to my hair (frizz fest), but that is getting a bit nit picky:) Ha ha.</div>

This past Independence holiday, we made sure to relax in our home and do some fun projects, so when the summer light filtered in the most lovely way, I had to grab the camera and shoot away our afternoon views. </div>

If this post was a dinner party, I would raise my glass with you all and toast to summer and all of the goodness it brings. Cling, cling, cling....cheers!</div>

Our model Abby was a super sweet gal to work with, in fact after out shoot, we spent a few hours just gabbing over a good meal and laughing away the rest of the evening. Oh, and we must discuss our other model.......Drumstick the chicken! This milky white little lady wanted to be in every shot and insisted I catch her on her good side (what a diva). Hee Hee</div>

How to Carmalize an onion:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Slice and Peel your desired amount of onions. Note: We used 1 whole yellow onion for this recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coat the bottom of a saute' pan with olive oil. Once it is hot and ready, drop in your onions and cook evenly but make sure they don't brown or burn. You want the onions to be slightly transparent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stir in 1 TBL of brown sugar and 1 TBL of butter, stir often so sugar doesnt burn. Usually takes 20-30 minutes depending on your stove top. Salt to taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place your perfect caramelized onions on your thick slice of brie cheese and place on a toasted crustini. Note: If you are looking for a gooey cheese, place your onion crustini in the oven for a minute or two at 400 degrees. </div>

Oh, and please be prepared to gobble everything down! </div>

We here at 11 Eureka would like to apologize for our absence and lack of posts. A few big things have made life a bit crazy lately and have tested my ability to handle stress (don't worry, I think I am passing the test). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you already know, Gretta is our dogter, boutique mascot and the loves of TJ and my life. It was one week ago that our crazy girl through her back out (yes, it also happens to dogs) which created her to become paralyzed in both her back legs. We instantly rushed her to the local animal hospital where she was x-rayed and admitted for the next two days. TJ and I went home devastated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning, we visited our little lady (pic above) and once again was sad as we left without our pup. The following day, we met the therapist and vet and decided to try aggressive therapy over the next 8 weeks. The best part of that day was the fact that we could bring her home (yay). </div>

We are now only 5 days from our wedding day and just praying that Gretta will be healthy enough to attend. The fact that she is an extreemly high spirited dog helps a lot, but not being able to play or simple walk around has taken a toll on her. We can not wait to witness her improvement over the next few weeks! Our lady is a trooper:)</span></td></tr>

I am kind of in love with this band. My newest find that I just cant stop listening to! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The video is simple and nothing special but listen closely to the background noises of birds chirping and insects buzzing and some how adding raw goodness to this soundtrack! I just love when the band shares a little about themselves and how they met.......it makes me feel as if someday my traveling Gypsy band could actually happen:)</div>

I was introduced to the regular ol' Gin and Tonic cocktail years back when I was trying to find a better option then the Amaretto Stone Sour (a new drinkers beginner cocktail). I quickly fell in love with the clean crisp taste but lately I have become a bit bored and wanted to try and spice up this great drink. This is how the Gin and Juice concoction was created! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 oz gin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 oz blood orange soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 grapefruit wedges</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pour the gin and the orange soda into a highball glass filled with ice cubes. Squeeze the grapefruit juice on top and garnish with the grapefruit wedge (let one float in the glass). Stir with your favorite fun straw!</div>

This drink was a success and after a few glasses of our Gin and Juice concoction, we where all laughing and toasting to our day which was filled with sun shine (about time for the Midwest)! Cheers everyone:)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are native to the Midwest it is no secret that we have had our fair share of rain in these last few weeks. Dark clouds, thunderstorms, and floods have made me appreciate the sunny rays of states such as Florida. This coming weekend my love is having a bachelor party in the keys and I am super jealous! Believe me, I am not one of those girls wanting a phone call check-in during his bachelor party weekend but I do want to slip into the suitcase so I can steal some sun rays!!!!</div>

I hope you enjoy this video by Hey Marseilles and if they catch your musical ear, make sure to check out their other soundtracks (To Travels & Trunks is really great)!</div>

Over the past few years I have collected a wide variety of stunning and super cool hats. My biggest problem was figuring on how to put my ensemble together without looking as if I tried too hard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have collected images to help guide your way into the world of hats and have learned the secret....put your hat look together as if it was the easiest thing you have done all day and it is guaranteed to look efforetly chic (ok, honestly not guaranteed but a general rule). </div>

1. Skinny Jeans, Big Floppy Hat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wear that over sized floppy hat with your hair loose and a little unkempt with your favorite skinnies. The tight fit jeans gives your big hat a more balanced appearance. Think skinny on bottom, big on top!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. All Black to Blend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black has been our go-to color for those days we want to hide a little extra of ourselves and this is true for hats as well. If you are new to hats and want to take it for a spin, dress your self in black with a little pop of color (so you don't look like your attending a funeral) and this will help you to not stick out like a soar thumb. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

3. California Cool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may love the Cali vibe or hate it, but somehow every gal has acquired that favorite tee shirt and tried to pass it off as a cool fashion statement. Some of us have succeeded (I am still working on it), and some have failed miserably. Below are two photos to help you get it right. A tan hat (to blend), loose fitting tee and over sized sweater or coat. The secret is to accessorize with your nicer pieces such as jewelry, a handbag, sunglasses, or a great pair of jeans. Also, if you can safely swing it, a tan always helps!</div>

4. Hat and Frock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the absolute easiest way to wear a hat on a summers day. Throw a cute frock on and grab your favorite hat to help protect your delicate skin from the suns rays. No matching required!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

5. Brim and Blazer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are traveling or out on a day of exploration and want to dress for all of the elements, the blazer and big brimmed hat is the best option. You can easily take off a layer if needed or leave them on and look chic while you frolic around town!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. Breezy Bohemian </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the trickiest of all the ensembles but looks like the easiest to copy. Beware! Putting your outfit together in a non fussy hippie chic sort of way takes some thought and time. This is the look I seek after the most and still look like the gal who got it all wrong. Ha Ha</div>

7. Toned down Hat, Bold Clothing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Almost everyone has a single piece of clothing that is so bright and beautiful but maybe a bit too bold to wear all by its self. No one wants to look like a highlighter or walking neon sign, so add that solid colored fedora and your look becomes appropriately toned down.</div>

I can't believe that TJ and my wedding shower has come and gone. It seems as if I blinked and the moment has past but thank heavens for the people who took pics for me to remember this day by (pssstttt, thanks Viv). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So where do I start? It was such a lovely gathering of very close friends and family at our favorite town spot, <a href="http://bottleslemont.com/Welcome.html">Bottles</a>. We had decided early on that a couples shower involving the men and ladies as well as a few choice kiddies is what we felt comfortable with. The flowers where provided by <a href="http://petalplaydesign.com/">Petal Play Design</a> (amazballs), the sweets and decor where gifted from my family and the invites (not pictured) where from my bestie, P. It was a beautiful event and to make the day a bit better, Mr. Sun came out and smiled upon us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now counting down to our wedding day and praying for some smooth sailing from here on out. Thank you to all who where involved in our day and put smiles on our face:)</div>

We are back and ready for new blogs, new products (yay) and new adventures. This weeks video was chosen solely on the connection between this film and our latest moving venture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many tears where shed last week leaving our home and hub for the last seven years but <a href="http://shop11eureka.com/">11 Eureka Boutique </a>moves forward, so shall my attitude and state of mind:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Into the wild is one of those films/books that is always on my mind. I want to connect (truth be told, I have always wanted to be a hippy but may be a little too needy in life for the finer things) and so every time I watch this movie, I long for an adventure, well, now I have one! Stay tuned for updates and pics of our last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, and how great is Eddie Vedder! I can listen to this soundtrack 1 million times and still want more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a Happy Tuesday! We are back!</div>

We apologize for our lack of posts lately. We are moving locations and have been busy little bees packing and painting. We will be up and running smoothly (hopefully) next week and will have lots of goodies to post! Have a great week:)</div>

Last week I took a class from one of my favorite local spots, <a href="http://www.petalplaydesign.com/">Petal Play Design </a>on how to create a table top terrarium. A group of us ladies where welcomed with a glass of wine, folksy tunes to set the mood and sights of natures wonderment! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always admiring a table top terrarium, I was excited to create a earthy masterpiece of my own. We where giving options of plants and figurines for our glass structures. I of course flocked to the gnome as "keeper" of my terrarium but others went the jungle route (hanging gorillas and tigers), animals on the farm (cows, sheep, and goats), and some took a little bit of everything (more is more)! </div>

By the end of the night we where all admiring each and every masterpiece and wishing we could make terrariums for every corner of our homes (I think I am going to do it anyway). Ha </div>

I first would like to apologize for the day late music video. It has been busy and hectic and the blogging portion took a tiny break these last few days. "Rather late than never" this video by Beach House gives you a glimpse into a lackadaisical world that I would give an arm and a leg to be a part of right now!!! Please enjoy</div>
