Pacific Coast Day Trip

Saturday morning in California we decided to head to the ocean for a quick trip while everyone(my immediate family) was off work. Leah & I packed a light lunch and then we were off...

We stopped at a favorite little town San Juan Bautista and enjoyed our picnic lunch among the chickens ( across the street from the mission). Orrin couldn't hardly concentrate on eating when there was chickens to go see.





so colorful






a bit too chilly to swim

we stuck our toes in



missing papa



U. V gives great piggy back rides!



We kept finding beautiful mossy rocks....

and these adorable mossy patches.

- wouldn't they look great planted in a little pot



The best shot of my attempt(s) to get a nice picture of the two together.....

a pebble beach



On our way to one of the beaches I found out we were right by an...... Anthro!!!!! It so happened that I needed to stop it! ( really I did--i told my niece if I got near one I would grab her a mr & mrs mugs for a bridal shower she was going to.) So my dear brother & Dad let us girls run in while they went ahead and took the children down to the beach. Thank you V I really didn't know it was there.... i really didn't have a secret agenda !!! love you V.

Beautiful visual displays- of course

my sis-n-law & my youngest sis

loved the natural cotton sticks(? what are they called?) especially against the aqua

.....hmm maybe Thane would let me use a little in our new bedroom......
..... I'm wanting to have some blue.....

....hmm we shall see....

We had a wonderful day just enjoying God's amazing natural beauty all around us and simply being together. Our last stop before home was to grab some yummy-warm clam chowder, of course in a bread bowl -on the Wharf.

{Fleur De Lis}

Here is another shop for you to peek at.
This is also one of those "must" stops for me when I'm in California.
This shop is dear to my heart being as I worked here for many years off and on
since I was 15 until I moved to Ohio.
I have many memories and so much love for the people who make this shop so beautiful.





Children's area
If you dig a little deeper you will find wonderful monogrammed linens
and vintage tins from France.
Beautiful Glazed Pottery from France





Christmas finery
Always love the fresh greenery and plants.
Many hours of watering in my past(=
Ruth & I at Christmas time.
Ruth has brought a lot of the furniture here from her past trips to France.
One day I'm going to get her to take me to all her old haunts in Provence
{I have been dreaming for a few years now & will be for a few years more until my babies are older !}
A lot of you have probably been in here before but if not make sure to stop in & say Hi!

Have you been to --Laura Bell's

Finally I am getting to the other pictures of our trip to California in December
When ever I go "home" I always have a few musts of where I want to go...
{LAURA BELL'S}
is definitely one of them!
This sweet owner has a wonderful eye for small details and using her finds in unique ways.
This planted weathervane is one of my favorites!





Love this vintage paper. I was thrilled to add some to my paper collection




If you get the opportunity make sure to stop by both of her
booths[ one down & one upstairs] at the Antique Emporium on J Street
