A Night of Blues Dancing at Maker House, Tucson, AZ

My friend invited me out to a dance class at a local venue called Maker House. From their website:

“Maker House is a reflection of our community. Maker House is a home for the creative and makerspace for artisans, inventors, entrepreneurs, musicians and those interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Science. Maker House is host to over 40 events of all sizes each week and offers amazing coffee, delectable eats, cold beverages, craft beer and fantastic wine for here or to go!

Some the best local and regional bands perform each week on the outdoor stage.”

We had a great time blues dancing. The lesson was conducted in a circle with rotating dance partners. My fave partner actually threw in a couple of country moves in between the blues. Gotta love that! I would love to stop back for more dancing, but I think these Sriracha Garlic Knux (knots) will bring me back for sure (for the longest time, I thought it was siracha):

OMGoodness…SO good! I think I might try to re-create them with a healthier twist. Perhaps they will not be as grand, but it’s worth a shot. Check out some of the dance classes if you’re in Tucson, and for sure check out the garlic knux.

Pics from The Grey House Antiques, Tucson, AZ & DIY Coasters

The Grey House Antiques here in Tucson, Arizona is one of my fave little shops — packed to the brim with all sorts of treasures…taking you on a mystical journey and allowing you to peer into the (quite often) glorious past. If you venture into some of the back rooms, you may find more recent vintage pieces.

I adore the hat with the fur and the white boots!

Quite a collection of Scrabble letters the shop has. Besides the pic’d idea, what else could you do with them? I saw a children’s movie wherein there was supposed to be a joke surrounding Scrabble letters (which I did not find amusing in the slightest), so that’s what made me think of it. So, I’m interrupting this broadcast to bring you an idea that I do find amusing and cute:
