Yesterday afternoon we met up with friends, Kirstin and Tyler, for coffee, conversation and (for me) knitting. We went to The Grind and I had a delightful hazelnut breve latte. Mmm, it was so creamy and good! We sat out in the California sunshine and chatted and stitched.
The main reason for our trip to California has been to celebrate Joel’s little sister’s high school graduation. Grace is a lovely girl and she was valedictorian. (Yay, Grace!!) We don’t get out to California often, so it’s been an extra special treat to get to be here with her on a big day! I [...]
Oops, I’m in California and I keep forgetting to blog. I’m going to blame it on the sunshine. So today I thought I’d share an adventure from our first day. We left our house at 3am on Wednesday and stepped off the plane at 11am California time. Joel’s parents picked us up and we drove [...]
Sometimes I think that being a pet photographer would be the best job ever! Last weekend I had lots of opportunities to photograph our pup, Cors, and my parents’ Boston Bulldog. Aggie (short for Agatha) is part Boston terrier, part English bulldog and 100% funny. Aggie likes to sleep in the sun, get pats on [...]
Hello! Sorry it’s been so quiet around here! We had a long weekend of traveling and when I say long I’m talking ten hour drives both ways, but it was so worth it! We went to West Virginia and got to see family and be at my good friend Anna’s wedding. It was a lovely [...]
In just a few months we’ll be flying out to California for a week of celebrating with family, visiting places I’ve never been (like the Getty Museum) and seeing sunshine and sunshiny friends. I’m glad we’re flying and not making that crazy-long drive but when this song came on my radio today I got a [...]
There’s nothing quite so nice as the feeling of walking in to your own home after long travels. We drove over 1,800 miles in the past ten days, saw pretty things, had lovely times and spent happy hours with family and friends. It’s only too bad that holidays can’t last forever, but tucked up cozy [...]
Here’s the last of my Williamsburg posts! But first a recap, we went to Williamsburg to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. (Not too shabby, eh?) In case you don’t know, Colonial Williamsburg is a living history museum set in the reconstructed and preserved historic town of Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s the kind of place families and [...]
I’ve always dreamed about going to Williamsburg at Christmastime and how magical it would be. I was not disappointed! At night all of the fir trees in the modern sections of town and around our guest house were draped in white lights and the huge fluffy snowflakes that filled the skies nestled on their branches. [...]
I had every intention of planning getting lots of great posts all typed and pretty and ready to go for this week, but then life got crazy! Before I knew it it was time to pack up, load the car, wrangle the puppy, and hit the open, snow dusted road! We got safely to West [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
