And people wonder why I’ll be coming back 10 pounds happier. This post is brought to you courtesy my Aunt Irena (famous chef of the baked apples baked above) and who contends that hot butter served in your tea will cure fluid in your lungs. Paula Deen, watch out.

Better than a Velvet Elvis
Glitter Jesus! Okay, its sequins, but it still looks like mosaics from the magic land. (that’s be Lithuania, folks!) I grabbed these images on a quick tour at my aunts workplace, which is now a Technical Library for Patents on Machinery and the like, but used to be a nunnery! (more on that later…..)
People living in pink houses shouldn’t throw stones
Having arrived in Vilnius just in time for a Lithuanian Christmas with my sister, I was greeted by the rosy tint of several cheerful buildings. All its missing is Skipper and Ken and the matching pink car.
Lucky Knockers
The number 13 was always my Grandmother’s lucky number as she was the 13th of 16 children…so maybe that’s why this appealed to me. Its been a while since I posted one of my door knocker obsessions, and I really love this one. I’m also starting to get excited as in a few short days, I am taking off to the motherland. More on that later, when I can startle you with a fabulous image mid transit or when I have arrived at said magical destination.
Stay Tuned…..
