home is wherever i'm with you


september has become the month of cute overalls around here. 
lucy has grown to fit into several different adorable pairs of vintage overalls featuring corduroy, lace, and homey scenes. vintage overalls are one of my favorite things for babies to wear, they are practical, comfortable and cute and versatile through the seasons.


 these came from my friend jocelyn who received a bunch of baby clothes from her neighbor niccole. most of them were from niccole's own childhood in the 1970s and some were even homemade by her own mama. i could not believe my luck to be on the receiving end of such perfect treasures and i asked why niccole didn't want them for her own daughter. jocelyn said, "she just wasn't into the vintage thing." wow! i can't even imagine, that never even occured to me!


it is so fun to play with our cuddly little baby who can smile so brightly and attempt to converse. her talking is so adorable and she concentrates so intently.







 happy full moon tonight to all our friends out there. i'll leave you with my favorite sight:
good night and good snuggles to you all :)

those overalls are CRAZY cute, but they are completely eclipsed by that SMILE. goodness, there is nothing better than gummy baby smiles, and your little lucy beams sunshine, she's so lit up. that first pic, the 'open baby stare' face that you've posted before, makes me laugh every time. so delightful.

i've been reading all your posts love, but i haven't commented lately due to lack of time and a sense of overwhelm...i haven't had enough wits to remark on the outstanding beauty that is you and your babe and your life! but i am loving you from afar and rejoicing in your happiness. xo

Nothing as charming as a baby's smile! Your little girl is such a bundle of sunshine. I agree that jumpers & overalls are the cutest on kiddos, especially vintage ones.

Oh goodness, your little lady is just as cute and sweet as can be! I am loving her collection of overalls and that cracks me up that your reaction to the friend not being "into the vintage thing" was something that never occurred to you, haha, seriously, right?!

I love the title of this post. I never felt more secure and happy then when all my little ones were snug in their beds, warm and loved. What a blessing our little Lucy is in our lives. I love her so much and you too honey!! You write like you ran as a child, like your Daddy always said "Don't forget to touch the floor" as you ran skipping away.

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
