Backyard get together at Lucinda’s purple casita

April 05, 2023

I kicked up my heels at Lucinda Hutson‘s purple casita every week in the past, charmed as ever by her festive, Tex-Mex backyard and her method of celebrating life by means of good meals, friendship, and shade.

I wore a Mexican-style gown like Lucinda typically does, however I left the purple to her. She wears it effectively!

I’ve photographed Lucinda’s backyard many instances through the years, however I all the time discover a new perspective to enchant me.

The flirty mermaid within the Mermaid Backyard perches in her bower of seashells and capiz shells. Succulents create a coral-reef vibe, and kelp-like snake crops on both facet full the under-the-sea look.

Within the sunny vegetable backyard, colourful potted annuals and herbs complement the purple storage with its mosaic-tiled eaves.

In again, Lucinda’s tequila cantina is able to host one other get together.

Delicious small plates happy my eye and my style buds. Look how fairly all of it is.

Thanks, Lucinda, for a good looking time in your house and backyard!
