The Lovely town of Pasadena and Lula Mae's..

  When I have to go to my Oncologist's appointment in the City of Duarte { where City of Hope is} it is only a hop, skip and jump on the freeway to the Town of Pasadena.  So last month I did just that.  Here are some pictures of this historic town I love to visit.

this is the tiniest cupcake shop which I didn't go in there today..should have.  They have the cutest over the top cupcake so cute they are a work of art, couldn't imagine eating one I would of just wanted to look at them.  Not sure if they were over priced or not very good cause there was not one person in the store.   But they were cute to look at.

 
On the main drag there are lots of favorite fun store to look in. Gap, Pottery-barn, Restoration Hardware, A HUGE Forever 21, Paper Source, Crate and Barrel, J. Crew with the cute mine Crew Cuts inside{have you seen their cute kid catalog?  OMG the cutest kids clothes}...and lot of Cafe's and Restaurants.  I went with my BFF a few months back and we had lunch at one of the cutes Cafe's and it was very good.  I wish I took a picture of what we had for lunch..I had a Shrimp Salad in a honey glazed dressing. 

 This day I just headed over to Subway for a quick bite and a store that I've been passing every time because it's not on the main drag I finally stopped  AND so glad I did..it is across from Subway in the Holly Building and that where Lulu Mae is, this store is/was so DARN cute!!! 

 
All dressed up for spring...

See that little white cake stand up in the left corner, the one with teardrops..I was tempted to pick that up.  I saw one in Carrie Raphael's Kitchen once..and wanted one..but I did restrain myself if you can believe it. 

German glass glittered stars hanging from a Tinsel tree....even right for spring.

Sweet Robin's Egg blue display case...  

This is a green damask covered baby book which I thought was unique.

 
I was also very temped to pick up these Caged egg ornaments...with nests.  So what did I buy.   Just one thing...something I needed.  I have been wanting to be better about sending out Cards for Birthdays and Anniversaries and everything in between.  So I picked up a card organizer for each month.  I could make one but this one was so cute I couldn't resist.

It has pocket on the right side to hold all the cards and On the left a place to list all the people and what event.  It has a place to add phone numbers, snail mail and emails and phone numbers.  Now all I have to do is carve out some time to do this.  The book is by Meri, Meri Scrapbooking Company.  Hopefully this will help me with not forgetting those important events and birthdays as time seems to fly by the older you get.  Hope you enjoyed your tour of Old Towne Pasadena and visiting Lula Mae.
