Gorgeous Doors

I found these gorgeous doors in Folly Beach, South Carolina. Just a short drive from downtown Charleston, Folly Beach is a fun area filled with good eating places and all the unique shops you usually find in beach towns. These doors are the entrance to TACO BOY, a Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, eclectic atmosphere. A great atmosphere and great food make for a really good time. Taco Boy's motto is "Skip Siesta, Let's Fiesta!" Easy to do in this place. I LOVE these doors!!

Anne Huskey-Lockard said...: Beautiful!!! And I love the shade of blue too---reminds me of some of the ornate doors in NOLA.
I know a lot of them were made from cypress, which seems to withstand any type of weather, paint or no.
I wonder about these....
So glad you posted this! :)

XXOO!

Ces Adorio said...: Oooh look at that door! I want that door! I love windows and my friend loves doors. All we need is another friend who loves walls and then roofs. Among the four of us we can then build a house. Hahahaha! Okay I am being facetious. Seriously, for a long time I was so sad because our front door was falling apart, not the frame just the surface did not look good. Finally my husband had a new door installed. I love my new door. Doors open a lot of possibilities. Than you very much for your kind comment on my blog.

Yes, I posted about the Angel Tree a while back on my blog. I kept telling my husband that we should go see it but instead we went to the mountains in Asheville. I know I will love it and probably have to keep myself from fainting.; February 17, 2010 at 10:12 PM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
