Happy Mothers Day To All! I just had the greatest weekend ever with my Mom! Every year she comes in to town for the Pasadena Showcase house . I have to say this was my most favorite showcase yet! The house was amazing, and the guest house was even more so! If you've never been I highly recommend it! This would be the perfect last minute Mother's day adventure!

We also had some amazing Culinary Experiences! I have had Elements Kitchen for Catering, but never had the opportunity to dine with them! All I have to say is Pear, Brie, Walnut and Pesto sandwich on Raisin bread! OH MY GOSH! They are absolute genius! We sat outside under a beautiful Umbrella and watched as Pasadena strolled by! Please check it out, you will not regret it! http://www.elementskitchen.com
We then attended Unique LA! An amazing showcase of independent artists and designers! From T-shirts to soap we experienced it all and found some great new designers for Lula Mae! Check back soon to hear all about them!
Ok, back to Culinary experiences..... Tre Venezie where have you been all my Life! Tucked away on Green Street, this restaurant feels like your best friends Living Room! Your best friends designer living room! It was the most Gourmet experience I have ever had, the most beautiful ambiance I have ever experienced and the prices were so competitive. We went on a Saturday evening for Mom's Bday! I am going to tell you what I had, you will have to read it twice because you wont believe me...it's true "Homemade ravioli( made in house daily) filled with Spinach and Dark Chocolate!" Go ahead, I'll give you a second to read that again!
I have an addiction when it comes to great cuisine! This is by far the best dinner experience I've had in the 10 years I've been in Pasadena! I might as well just give up on everything but Elements and Tre Venezie! Call them for your next special evening! Then call me after and tell me how much you love me for sending you there! Oh, and thanks Julia for telling us to check it out!

The best part of the visit by far was being with my mom! I am so blessed! Lets celebrate and remind them on Sunday how much they are loved and appreciated! Your my best friend Mom!
Lula has an amazing selection of Mother's day cards and Gifts this year! Candles, Bath and Body, Jewelry, Inspiring Books and what not's....we have it all! Lula Mae
Happy Mother's Day everyone!
It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your mother.
I love Elements Kitchen! My niece who works there, Judi, who you so nicely pictured in your blog post, raves about Lula Mae all the time!
