Every time I accompany my friend to her home in Sonoma I always get her to stop here on the way home...  can you blame me?

 It's simply amazing.

What a great place to shop! I wish I could visit. A little too far for me. I hope you got some good stuff!

What a fabulous store...AND its in Sonoma??? Too good to be true, it gets extra double bonus points for that alone! I love all the goodies, I saw tons just in the photos that totally appealed to me, love all the equestrian decor, is that part of their "thing" or they just happen to have a lot of it, the riding boot lamps are a hoot! Beautiful things...the kind of store I could spend a lot of time lingering in.....and if the prices are right...a lot of money in too! Great post!

Photos are fabulous!! Do they have any job openings? On second thought, I 'd probably buy up the entire store if I worked there. My husband would love the snake pillow. Have a great Mother's Day!

Those aprons with the stripes are made from mangle cloths!
The cloths covered the rollers in Germany or other countries.
I have one with just red stripes that I use on a dining room table
that is narrow. Ann

Oh, what treasures. I especially love the table lamp made of fire extinguisher! We have a table lamp made of an old printing cylinder we dragged home form New York, but I have dreamed of a vintage fire extinguisher lamp eve since I saw one in Sydney last summer...

WOW - what an amazing place. I loved every single one of your shots. But I think I especially loved the large bookcase and all the beautiful biscuit barrels and hotel silver.

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
