Just wandering about the Shops and boutiques in Key West

We had a wonderful day on Thursday.
Beginning the day with breakfast with the" lattitude  to change your attitude" printed right on the table!

We found ourselves the most wonderful little Frenchy style shop!
I loved their window and had to go in.

Very drool worthy.

On Petronia 2 blocks west of Duval. I believe it was called Besime Mucho

An absolute stop if you visit Key West.

There are five antiques shops in key west. I think we hit them all.

 I adore these vintage bowls.

 And a lot of boutiques.

 I love this purse discovered at one of them.. burlap and buttons, cute isn't it?
I'm not sure which was more fun, discovering little shops, cozy eclectic houses or little side pubs, for refreshment.
Check out this front porch on this house discovered on one street. Obviously an artist. It reminds me of a mayan calender! It also appears they are preparing to hang a gorgeous stained glass lamp.
So awesome.

And one of my favorites is below- Only in the keys will you find such luscious colors combined, all in one house.
Peach, aqua and yellow. I love this one!!

Margarittaville on Duval is a fun place to stop in and if you order a large drink, you get a glass to go home with!

I loved Earnest Hemmingway's house, so much energy there from a previous era. The grounds are lush, and full of fung chi.
Warning picture heavy.

 As soon as you enter you feel it!

The room to the right

Love these doors that open up to the outside!

bench is behind the staircase

Upstairs... the Hemingway bed, complete with kitty cats.

Some personal pics in the house of Hemmingway

Me on the porch.

 I loved the view from the 2nd floor porch!

 And sitting by the Hemmingway pool....

Can I go swimming?

Ahhh time to go back and swim in the hotel pool.

The adventures of Eileen and Mary Louise begin!

And we're off to the Florida Keys. We got a late start, so the sun was setting on the way.
It had been raining but began to clear and it was neat to watch as the sky cleared.

Not a perfect shot because the car was in motion.  But not a bad one either ...eh?
It had been raining but began to clear and it was neat to watch as the sky cleared.

And here we finally arrive at about 11 pm.

The hotel is the southernmost hotel in the US That's what it's called the "Southernmost Hotel"

And it seems to have a really nice pool, actually 3 pools, where I will be getting my exercise and ..it's  my kind of pool, there is a bar right there next to it!
We will have no trouble getting our daily intake of Mojitos, Bahama Mammas, or any other tropical drink anybody out there in bloggyland can recommend!

Darn I just missed it!

Better pics will come in the daylight hours. I cant wait to take a walk around these ADORABLE Victorian Cottages

We're thinking this girls week away will have to be an annual thing :)))
