Snaps from the weekend
Beginning with my favorite!
A cool vignette seen at a consignment shop in my hood.
I need one of these on the back of my bike!
Newly planted espaliered trees near my mom's house. I'm loving their gentle curve.
Poking around our Saturday Flea Market
where my Gypsy Mom met her Gypsy match!
As you can imagine it was hard to pull her away.
Look at her!
Just like a kid in a candy store!
Yep, she's that crazy!
Always happy when La Dolfina pops up!
Loved this guy's collection and stories.
This represents the part of his collection he is pruning out.
I too, have a thing for bottle openers.
His were pricey, but well worth it.
(I bought the Christofle Tastevin in the middle)
Many were purchased while in France.
This was mom's fave.
Kinda looks like jewelry... hmmm
We got up early Sunday morning and took a drive up to Santa Rosa prompted by a craigslist ad for antique carrara marble and were greeted by this!
I love it when craigslist takes you on an exciting adventure!
Turns out it came out of the San Francisco Public Library. The marble pieces, approx. 450 of them in 2 sizes, 49 x 26 and 36 x 33 both 1.5" thick, were salvaged from the Library Depository.
Here's the piece we chose.
I'm thrilled to have a little part of San Francisco history! I have a few ideas up my sleeve. I'll keep you posted.
Next we googled the best breakfast in Santa Rosa and ended up at The Spinster Sisters where we feasted on the most delicious Eggs Benedict and Breakfast Tostada with poached eggs.

Love to you and thank you for sharing, hugs to your sweet mother, Colxx
I am thrilled to see you back in Blogland!
I have missed you and kept you and your mom in my prayers.
You are right about the stone soldier, the man with the marble did get it in China! He was a world traveler in his 80's.and still very handsome and charming.
You are so sweet about my mom, you know it never even dawned on me that she wears hoodies with beads.
You are so observant!!!!
It is old to have you back my friend!!!!!
