{ things making me happy }

i bought this hermes typewriter  for the boy's at a thrift store for 5 bucks ....and just found out it's worth a lot more.

love this turquoise and green. via my polaroid blog

i do love balloons....but i have to confess i can't stand it when someone intentionally let's them go..on our way to catalina island i saw three balloons in the ocean.

love this shift dress. it would look cute with my frye boots in the fall.

{ hotel fox }

hotel fox  in copenhagen, denmark  would be a great place to stay with the older kids....each room is decorated by an international artist not to mention they have a bar , complementary bagged lunches,  roof top terrace, and  bicycles for rent. my favorite room is #208 the crown jewels. www.hotelfox.dk

{ sacramento's "our wedding" photo shoot }

the "theme" that sacramento's grand ballroom -event architects and i were given was "winter bling" so i right away thought of preston bailey! the top and bottom of the  vase was adorned with white dendrobium orchids. i used champagne and aikito roses, cymbidium and cattalaya orchids, peonies + hydrangea.....i usually don't use diamond accents unless requested. photo's by www.donahuephotography.com

how cute is this little shop!

{ mendocino anniversary weekend }

mendocino botanical garden

these are stock photo's......of the private bungalow we rented in mendocino {same place as our honeymoon} it over looks huge cliff ocean views from the hot tub and from bed! one night the seals were so loud it was hard to get to sleep.... so great! my favorite part was hiking the headlands edge barefoot in the sand.

{ relax }

this weekend.....sounds good!

{ kid's are the best }
