Cara’s Favorites

We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.

Favorite Beverage: I adore coffee. Especially in lattes. But they have to be plain. I don’t love extra sugar and flavoring in them. The other thing I love is sparkling water. I fell in love with that while we were in Italy over a couple summers. Soda was too expensive, so we all switched over to sparkling water. Now I can hardly drink soda. It’s just too sweet.

Favorite Color: I adore jewel tone colors, but my absolute favorite is purple. It’s the color of royalty and I have always loved it.

Favorite Thing You Collect: I struggled to answer this one, but I think the thing I collect is art from the places we’ve traveled in Europe. It’s harder to find than you would think. It was our third trip to London before I found a street gallery near the Globe Theater on a Saturday morning. We were able to buy some beautiful pieces from old books that I still need to frame. I also love to buy art from artists who are working on the street. They capture some of my favorite places, and I enjoy supporting their creative endeavors. It’s a wonderful way to remember our adventures.
