Here comes the weekend.

While everyone is busy getting 'back-to-school' & 

back to non-summer modes, 

the Bay Area kicks right into summer with 90+ degree days.  

I'm dreaming of floating around in a little boat like this, 

feeling the cool ocean breezes & 

hearing the slapping waves against the sides. 

Enjoy your weekend, wherever it takes you.

Here comes the weekend!

Here comes the weekend.

Happy Weekend.

Its raining here in the Bay Area, so we will be doing
indoor rainy things (for which we can't wait) like lighting fires,
setting up our movie projector to watch movies on the wall,
carving pumpkins, pondering root vegetables (in the video below)
and dropping by sweet new shops like
Metier's new jewel box storefront in Hayes Valley.

Enjoy yours, whereever it takes you!

Here comes the weekend.

Enjoy yours, I plan to do the same!

 A little memory from my birthday. at the beginning of this week.
Note the Ses Petites Mains' colors on my beautiful new Michel Junod board. 
Its a bit of a leap, as I have never ridden such a 'short' board. But I'm looking forward to the challenge!

This may take me through the weekend, happily!

Enjoy yours, whereever you might find yourself.

Here comes the weekend

Enjoy some 'vintage' Ses Petites Mains
& may your weekend know such joy!

Here comes the weekend

Bon Week-end!

Here comes the weekend

Leaping for joy, we're so happy it's here.

Here comes the weekend.

Gonna pick a big bouquet
of these this weekend. 

Enjoy your weekend,
wherever it takes you.

Here comes the weekend

Hug a tree or someone you love this weekend!

Enjoy.

Here comes the weekend

With less than a week 'til the most goblin-ly night of the year upon us,
I know our house will be full of costume prep this weekend. 

We love making costumes and this year is no different, but I have to admit, with our recent move and figuring our new surroundings out, we are a little behind the eight ball!  But, alas, we will persevere, (not without a lot of baked pumpkin seeds to fuel our way)
and emerge from the dining room table, fabric scraps everywhere,
with this year's costume of choice--a leprechaun!

Enjoy your weekend, whereever it takes you.

A souvenir from my weekend

Enjoy these beautiful sights from my quick trip to Aspen & Basalt, Colorado this past weekend.  

the mirror pond at the Roaring Fork Club

We stayed at the gorgeous
Roaring Fork Club
which kept my senses busy, taking in all the scents and gorgeous vistas. 

The Aspens were in their most vivid yellows while the newly fallen snow dusted over all the luscious colors.  

Now we are back to work but its nice to stop for a moment and remember the splendor of it all...

The last bits of snow along the quaint foot bridge

I want to turn this into a print--colored rocks and the crystal clear water

The gondola in Aspen

The only benefit of our incredibly early trip back to
Denver Airport-- the gorgeous light

Summer in the city--finally.

 
 Anyone who knows the Bay Area, knows that September kicks off our summer.  You know, the nicest day of the season, just so happens to be the kids' first day
back at school. 

And this year was
no different.

The old adage, "if you can't beat them, join them" works exceptionally well here. And join 'them' we did, with one of our sweetest 'summer' weekends spent over the Labor Day weekend (my birthday weekend)  in my favorite little spot in West Marin.

The sounds of the ocean, friends, family, good food and long, sunny days at the beach...we'll take a bit of summer whenever we can get it!  

A scene from our daily, early morning stroll, the Earth was definitely saying hello.

The colors of this amazing Victorian celebrate our
Ses Petites Mains' brand quite well, I see a future location spot!

Birthday cupcakes from Susie Cakes in San Francisco...heaven in a paper wrapper!

Boards in 'hand', we are off!

My daughter, elegant no matter what she is doing!

Another early morning stroll, this time to the surf.

Into the sea, you and me...

Here comes the weekend.

Our Patriotic President's Day dress!

 

Gertrude in tissue silk, chambray tie & bubble eyelet blossom...

our tribute to the Presidents who helped made this country great!

Hope you enjoy your long weekend!

Here comes the weekend.

And what a weekend it is, an inauguration & a day to remember.  All rolled into one! 

Congratulations to President Obama &
thank you, to the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.,

Here comes the weekend

Oh, the week is winding down. 
How can a short one feel so long?  

Anyway, as I train myself back into
full post-holiday weeks, 

I'm already dreaming of the weekend and 

looking forward to exploring some of these captivating
exhibits at Art Murmur in Oakland.  

 

Enjoy where ever your weekend takes you...till next week!

ps don't forget our New Years Sale is still on!

here comes the weekend

Have a be-witching weekend!

I'm looking forward to this weekend, after what seemed like an ENDLESS week!   

I think its going to be a weekend of loves...

Bob Dylan tonight at the Greek Theatre (only my 2nd time, ever),

special time with my daughter making her Halloween costume (our annual tradition), 

and just good hanging-out time with those that I'm most crazy about.

Photobooth's new Effects, we love them! 

Hope you feel the love this weekend, too.

here comes the weekend...

...and the Blue Angels!

Enjoy your weekend & all that looms above you!
