IOMOI TOTES

....... A Tradition With A Wink.


A couple months ago while at work (Restoration Hardware) a customer of mine walked into the Gallery with one of the most amazing totes.....  I instantly melted over something I knew I had to have.  A great tote is hard to find and IOMOI makes a tote that meets my obsession. A perfect go to bag for a day at the beach, a day of shopping or if your just spending a day hanging with your girlfriends this bag will get you noticed. The best part is you customize your tote with your initials or name and pick your desired print.   Find these amazing handbags here.

customizable and glamorous......... What girl wouldn't love these totes!?

Ingredients
2 cups caned garbanzo beans(drain and keep reserved liquid)
1/4 cup tahini paste

Lemon juice to taste
Sea salt to taste

Preparation
Take all ingredients and poor them into a food processor and blend.  Use the reserved liquid as needed to "smooth" things along.  To mix your own flavors you can add 1 bunch cilantro plus a chopped jalapeno to make cilantro jalapeno hummus (my favorite) or one chopped roasted red bell pepper to make red bell pepper hummus.  Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or pita chips.

Happy Memorial Day

Dreaming Of Kitchens

Kitchens are sometimes referred to as the hub or heart of the home, but everyone uses them differently and has a style all their own. The kitchen is a place where food is prepared and cooked.  Kitchen designs have become more efficient with all the technology advances and kitchen islands have opened up the area making dining a reality.

Garden Stools

Garden stools are a great accent piece to any room.  They add allure and mystery to whatever space they're in. Use it as a side table to hold a vase full of flowers or simply for an accent piece.  It's the perfect pop of color.  Our favorite place to shop for garden stools is Homegoods.......they sell for around $45(the cheapest that we've found) and there is always a great variety.  If you don't have a Homegoods in your area than here is a list of other places you might find these amazing stools.....Amazon, World Market, Home depot, Overstock.
