Autumn Shop Update

Feeling a little bit witchy, a little bit preppy, I struck out with my hub today to do an Etsy photo shoot.

I have about a million things to list after my ramblings around the countryside,
so I am really trying to get on the ball over here.
Rainy days make movie nights and cat snuggling seem much more appealing that shop updating...
but we had fun. And I've started listing away...check it out if you like.
And I adore being able to dress fallish...sundresses have lost their luster by this point.









Now off to drink some wine and watch some episodes of Big Love.
By the way, happy weekend! I never usually say that because for me weekends are no different from weekdays...but tomorrow I've got a pre-Halloween party and some rainy-day-cozy-bookstore work lined up, how's about you?

Great photos. Love the apples! Every day Rich brings in a few from our trees, we only have 4 small trees, but the apples are crinkle-your-cheeks good. I thought I might have seen you last Monday at Chili Bar on your bike? I was driving past in a dirty (always!) green car. Your fall skirt with the orange is lovely. Love T

AHHHH!! I can't believe you work at Mels!!! We walked up the 49 to some estate sale (that road is SO STEEP). The town is super cute and made me think once again... I don't know why I'm not living closer to a "down town" place like that where you can take guests to walk around and get drinks, food, and some great antiqes :D What a beautiful place to live and the weather was lovely! I heard apple hill was all the rage, but too crowded for words that weekend, so we skipped it! A wonderful trip indeed! :D
Cute shop updates! I love that your hubby is so involved with it! Mine thinks I should be a millionaire by now with all the time spent blogging, estate sale-ing and shop updating (he's got a good point)!

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r...

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here! That lu...

handmade homes take to the open road

Image
i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep ...
