november tea time, odds and ends

i've been a bad blogger....
and i'm sorry.
i really do have a hundred things i want to write about, interesting books and photos i want to show you, ideas for styling and outfit posts, happening, wonderings, thoughts.... i don't know why i'm in a blogging funk, there is no real reason for it. laziness? weird changes in weather? too much going on in "real life"? i have no answers...

but i will be back this week!
i am inspired after a conversation i had tonight at ashley and eric's housewarming party with lovely nikki who has an adorable blog called Little Bits of NikkNak. she has this fresh interactive approach to blogging, making crafts, finding rad vintage stuff, and inspiring friends to be creative that i found totally refreshing.
anyway for now here are a few random shots of some pretty vintage finds for my shop.
i absolutely adore this skirt with its rainbow garden of blossoms to cheer up gray winter days.



hope you enjoy an extra cozy hour of sleep and i will see you all on monday,
bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Heather - that skirt is so cute and cozy looking. Matt and I finally hit DI up last night and I came home with two treasures! I'm thinking about wearing one to Jaroms baptism. I want to look my best on his very special day. And by the way I don't think I have told you the great news. He is being baptized in Camino on Nov. 29. We want all his family there if possible, for love and support on his big day xoxo So can't wait to see you and that may be the only time we see you since the 29 is the day we get back and then leave on the 30th. It is going to be crazy.

I love your Etsy shop, Heather!
And I only wish i had someone as beautiful as you and your friends to model my vintage clothing!
Everything would look SO much better than it does when I just post pictures.

Oh man, if you've been a bad blogger, then I've been a terrible blogger, not to mention a bad wife, I didn't even get a birthday post up for Lucas! I've been in a big blogging funk lately too. Hopefully I will snap out of it soon.

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..."

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!

handmade homes take to the open road

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
