Whenever I travel, I always try to fit in a little shopping

During my recent trip to Florida for the 19th annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival, my friend, Lisbeth Barron, and I took some time to visit the Gardens GreenMarket – a Sunday market in Palm Beach Gardens where 140-vendors sell fresh fruits and vegetables, fragrant herbs, honey, homemade bread, donuts, pies, cheeses, handmade crafts, and much more. We also walked through some of the wonderful antique shops in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. We had so much fun touring the different galleries and shops and looking at all the vintage clothing, fine furniture, and other decorating pieces – I always take lots of photos of items that interest and inspire me.

Then it was on to Casa Gusto on Georgia Avenue in West Palm Beach. The space is filled with 17th and 18th-century furniture mixed with some mid-century pieces.

This is Charles Peed showing us a handmade flower art piece. He and his mother, Cris Briger, are the co-proprietors of Casa Gusto.
