  Casa Miel: A fabulous getaway for a lucky bidder!
This year's Fete des Fleurs on July 23 is sure to bedazzle! A very special auction featuring three select items will highlight this wonderful event.
This week's spotlighted item:
A week-long stay at Casa Miel, home of Honey Sharp and David Lippman in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
This delightful home with its many charming attributes, including a roof top garden, is a comfortable, visually pleasing and convenient way to enjoy the many splendors of this magical city. Casa Miel is an easy walk to most San Miguel attractions and a convenient taxi ride to others such as the very special botanical gardens or the nearby hot springs. Excellent restaurants, many near the main plaza which is less than a 10 minute walk, are too numerous to mention.
- Judy Uman, a previous BBG bidder who recently visited.
Spend a week at Casa Miel, a contemporary, colonial style home set in the historic heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of San Miguel de Allende. Decorated by Honey Sharp, this three-story, three bedroom townhouse is spacious, filled with light, and features numerous outdoor rooms, soothing fountains and plants galore. Availability: Fall 2011 dates to be determined; April 15 to November, 2012. One week stay; value $1500.
