i had a nice easter weekend, partly because i'm finally turning back into a social butterfly! (that nesting thing has had me staying home more often than not lately) addie came to town and we went to check out marmy's new digs. my mom and her hubby moved into the cutest little cottage close to town with a pretty yard and space for a trampoline for his two daughters!  it has the most charming screened-in sunporch. the girls want to have slumber parties here during the summer. my mom has a knack at making a home comfy and pretty.  her cat, nettie, helps a lot with that too. some easter eggs made by jack's two daughters. they are age 11 and 14 and very crafty. my stepsisters. wow. (i forget sometimes!) that night there was a big show down at our favorite local hang out and bar, cozmic cafe. our friend scott's band, san similar played which always draws a crowd. and this time his openers were comprised of other old friends who go w...

sunday was a blissful day. it was my mama's 60th birthday. can you believe she is sixty?! i would not stand for her feeling down about it. she is fabulous, smart, fun, happy, beautiful and in love. what better way to age?! we went to an antique fair on main street. and best of all...it was finally cool enough to wear this gorgeous yellow gauzy billowy dress that brigit sent me last month! (you guys she sent me soooo many goodies, it was like christmas. little by little i will show off some of the pieces) i don't even think brigit had any idea that i am completely obsessed with gauzy cotton dresses. i like them free and flowy, or belted or with boots or with sandals. they are the most versatile, gorgeous, natural pieces of clothing and i could wear one every day. i felt like a dream. just like cel posted the other day , sometimes you just feel so GOOD in what you're wearing. and everyone smiles at you and compliments your dress and you ar...

well friends i am happy to say that the wedding was a complete delight. it was also bella's birthday. 7 years old and a flower girl for her nana...a special day indeed. mom and jack were relaxed and happy; my siblings were all around and everyone lovingly contributed. we were just missing mikie, who is insanely busy acting in L.A. but we felt his energetic spirit anyway. they got married at the little park by the river in Sutter Creek which is the cutest little old-fashioned gold rush town. we had wildflowers and folk songs and homemade cake. and for their ceremony, the sun came out! matt was photographer extraordinaire, taking beautiful digital shots... polaroids ... and holga pics too! darin (looking dashing i might add) took some photos too, and hung out with the boys. i loved how the girls wore vintagey floral dresses in an array of color. marmy made her own cake and it was scrumptious, a carrot cake ...
