What a way to enjoy the Texas Hill Country! The fabulous Westin La Cantera recently renovated the resort’s signature bar Steinheimer’s Lounge. And the re-do is worth its weight in gold! There is a very romantic story about the bar’s namesake, Karl Steinheimer. He started out as a pirate. Then, became a miner and he struck gold in Mexico.

These beautiful trays and bowls caught my eye instantly on a recent visit to Las Finezas in downtown Boerne. Their pearlized, rich, vibrant colors are gorgeous.
This beautiful place setting is disposable, and you can wipe the mat clean with a damp rag. It’s a beautiful line of Caspari paper items that you can find at Las Finezas in Boerne, TX.
