As the fireworks come to an end, hopefully it is after midnight here, I hope you have had a wonderful Fourth of July! This post is going to take a little turn toward France but it will make sense. You've probably heard by now that the crown of the Statue of Liberty has reopened for visitors. The whole island was closed following 9-11 only to reopen partially in 2004. So glad it has reopened! The Statue was a gift from the French to the US in 1886.
We are having a stay-cation this weekend, staying close to home & enjoying the stress-free time together. Friday we went for sushi and brought home some wine & champagne from Mitchell's, Saturday we did errands and went to Dinosaur BBQ for ribs. Today we took the LIRR to Long Beach and had an awesome day - complete with slices from Gino's.
I mentioned we got wine & champs Friday. What to do with the empty bottles? Uncommongoods has a fun answer - CORK CANDLES! Looks like they just pop (haha, cork humor!) into the empty bottle, you light the wick and voila - instant candle ambiance. I love that the pic uses a bottle of my favorite - Veuve Clicquot. If you like bubbly you need to try VC and if you like it you should read her biography - it's a great informative & interesting read by Tilar J. Mazzeo. We visited Reims while we were in France in December - it's a beautiful city, so rich in history!! Let's toast to Lady Liberty!
I picked these up, too! It thought they were adorable.
