LAVENDAR COTTAGE, TAICHUNG

Would you like to try some Chin-Chin?

Me with the cartoonicized versions of the Lavendar makers...yeah!

Imported chocolates AND candy...pure bliss.

Intricate dome-shaped gazebo...Mmm..I'll have that.

These cute 'lil items are made entirely from paper. In fact, this entire gift shop is dedicated to making and constructing the finest pieces of art completely from paper itself.

Again, COMPLETELY made out of paper. Whoevers' hands constructed this fine specimen should get an award. It truly was a sight for sore eyes.

The cute little village belonging to that of Lavendar Cottage. I seriously felt like I was in Paris or somewhere equally historic and magical.

My dear friend, Claire and I amongst the enchanting structures of Lavendar Cottage.

Good friends enjoying some time in the shrubery and plants of sorts.

The beauties of the cobblestone mixed in with some lush lavendar and greenery. I = love.

Purple creations of love and aroma.


ATTENTION: Outgoing mail...for your "ex" lover...is that legal??


Aren't these little sprouts of joy? I am not sure what this plant is called, but it's so bite sized and precious.

I love this shot of Taichung city. If you look beyond the trees, you will notice the soft outline of the city. Hence, why I love the subtle beauty of it all.

I hope it's obvious that the chair I am sitting in, happens to be flambouyantly mustard, which happens to bring me great joy. Bless this chair and bless this color.

My friend, Claire and I took a gander into this little lounge...it was super chic.

Consider it known. I feel like a million bucks in this lounge of luxury.

Sampler plate filled with Taiwanese treats (sweet and salty mix).

This hand arranged plant wall spanned 7 floors high...it was entirely massive.

Taichung city at sunset. Isn't this a fiercesome sight to behold?

Claire and I consuming Sushi at a local sushi eatery.

Although I am a sushi guru, never have I seen such bliss. Plates of blessed sushi roll by on a conveyor belt, and you can grab any sushi that looks appetizing. Amazing invention!

This was my favorite roll. It was topped with a slice of fish, combined with an egg mixture of sorts. I was kinda turned off by the shimmering of the fish scales...but it turned out to be delicious!

  1. I LOVE the Lavender Cottage!!! It is a place I can tell I'd love to visit! Great shots and commentary, of course, by the photographer and writer! It looks like you and Claire had a great day! The only thing that I didn't particularly like was the picture of your food--the fish did look a little unappetizing to me--but you did say it was good. I have absolutely LOVED your blog! Good work--keep it up!

  3. I love your pictures! The sunset picture is beautiful! The Lavender Cottage and the surrounding village look so fun, too. And the big plant wall - wowsers! I felt sad that I couldn't come and visit you in Taiwan with the others, but I hope you all had a great time - and I hope your birthday was the BEST! Love you!
