Love the fun florals with carrots, radishes and Brussel sprouts for @shelburnehotel this week! #happyeaster #bunnyfood #springblooms #historicinn (at Shelburne Hotel)

Hoping for a nice day for some outside cleanup. But first, my big walk. Doing 12,000 steps daily. Except on downpour days - then I row inside. #cardio #hearthealthy

Brightened up @shelburnehotel front desk with a Happy Opening arrangement! #springflowers #NansenFlorals (at Shelburne Hotel)

Nice to see so many families enjoying the new Putt Putt golf course yesterday. The entire block looks great! #longbeachwa #puttputtgolf #gocarts #icecream #espresso #wine #beer #candy #funbeach

A little bit of joy for my desk! #springflowers

Ahhh! This is so lovely! Repost from @thomasbloomflowers. If you hurry to his Instagram - and click on stories (the profile icon) - you will find video instructions on how to make with lovely bulbed tulips, birch twigs, pussy willows and moss. And a wreath frame and some wire. But hurry - Instagram stories leave after 24 hrs. Happy Spring! #slowwreaths #foragedwreaths

I am donating one of my famous cocktail parties to Oysters, Arts & Adventures 2018. This year the theme is Literary Cocktails and I can’t wait to host this one! Just read the description- you know you want to attend!! You can bid on it (there will be single tickets sold this year) at the Rotary Auction on April 7 - beachrotary.org

I made the perfect floral for @shelburnehotel Pub! Happy Opening! Juan makes the best cocktails! All that is needed now is the ‘Local’s Martini’ made with @adriftdistillers gin to complete the scene. (at Shelburne Hotel)

Early working dinner!

Happy first day of Spring! There was a slick icy surface on the Boardwalk during my early morning walk/run! Had to take it easy. Mental note - take the trail not the boardwalk tomorrow. #gettingmystepsin #beachlife (at Long Beach, Washington)

I spotted the cutest Little Free Library on my walk today! It even had ‘The Boxcar Children’ books. Check out the clip for your dog leash while you enjoy looking at the books. #littlefreelibrary #longbeachwa #boxcarchildren

I am donating one of the best cocktail parties ever to the Rotary auction - ‘Oysters, Arts & Adventures’ this year. I needed a good photo to represent the ‘adventure’ - so I grabbed some old books, Juan at @shelburnehotel mixed up a Pisco Sour and Boulevardier - then @mpapawhiskey took amazing photos! The theme is ‘Literary Cocktails’. Thank you for the help guys! #rotaryauction #cantwaittoshowyou (at Shelburne Hotel)

Loved @thedepotseaview Clambake Special tonight. So tasty! Such flavorful broth! Sturgeon, steamer clams, linguica sausage, corn on the cob and grilled asparagus. #beachfood 📷 @michaellalewicz (at The DEPOT Restaurant)

Happy Birthday to our neighbor @thedepotseaview! Fifteen years ago Chef @michaellalewicz and @nancygorshe took over the Historic Train Depot across the street. They have created an award winning foodie destination and a wonderful community dining spot. We ❤️ The Depot! Be sure to follow them. #finedining #beachlife #seaview (at The DEPOT Restaurant)
