Erika Carter via Upstairs at Pierre Lafond--

Mixed media paintings on tin and some on wood by Santa Barbara native, Erica Carter, inspired by her travels to San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico and the devotional folk art, Retablos and Ex-Votos. I discovered her paintings at the lovely shop, Sollano 16 in San Miguel de Allende, but they're also available at Upstairs at Pierre Lafond in Montecito, California.

A bit of a departure for me---but I was inspired today by the lovely Santa Ynez Valley home designed by artist and designer, Dede Wood and her husband. And Santa Ynez is one of my favorite places--

Santa Barbara Highlights

The lovely Spanish architecture of Santa Barbara, California

I love the red tiled roofs and Spanish architecture of Santa Barbara and the fact that there are no high rises--

Santa Barbara farmer's markets

Best way to shop for food is at the many farmer's markets in SB--beautiful veg, fruits, and fresh eggs-

Sandhi wines, producers of lovely Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Los Olivos near Santa Ynez

I ventured into Santa Barbara's wine country for a day of tasting. Stand outs were Alta Maria wines (I have their Pinot Noir and Savignon Blanc on my list--but also liked their Cab) and Sandhi wines--Pinot Noirs were my favorites--very floral and pretty. Hope to travel north for more wine tasting on my next trip--
