Hi sweetie! Oh, I have missed reading your posts... have been so swamped with our website, that I haven't had one second to stop by and say hi. Love this store profile and photos - hope you don't mind if I share on our Caron's Beach House facebook page. Maybe we can take a journey one day, and you can show me your favorite haunts in Sonoma!

You find the best places! I so loved this stroll this morning. I want everything in there. The water balls are quite interesting, have never heard of them before. I'm glad you took a larger photo of the description.

One of my favorite stores and places to visit for inspiration is Chateau Sonoma. You made me realize it has been a while, so now will have to take a little detour on our way to Sonoma this weekend. Did you buy anything?

There are not many shops that I love as much as mine, but this is one of them. I stop every time I go up there. Sarah's business card even inspired mine 6 years ago! Nice post!

What a fun place! Could spend hours there.

I am a bit annoyed, I was four days in Paris and didn't have time to visit any antique shops. Have to go there for the weekend before the September fairs, so I have time to visit les marchés aux Puces in Clignancourt and Porte de Vanves

Just found your blog, so glad I did.
I love Chateau Sonoma, haven't been there for a while, looks as though they've really filled it up since last time I was there... do think a field trip is in order for inspiration!

Beautiful photos (and inspiration).

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
