Wendy's Designs

I just couldn't resist showing you what I bought at Wendy's.  I wanted to buy 
everything  but I was really good about limiting myself.





Love this fruit bowl!

Theater of Dreams

Today was Wendy Addison's holiday sale at her shop, Theater of Dreams,  in Port
Costa, CA.  I have been going to this event with my friend Debbie Addie ever
since Wendy moved to Port Costa and started this tradition.  Wendy opens her 
shop for the 3 days after Thanksgiving and again on 2  weekends in December. 
This is where she sells her original "Theater of Dreams" creations, as well as, those
she has created for Tinsel Trading.  The shop is quite small and is crowded from 
the time the doors open but the feeling is like nothing you have ever experienced.
You want to have the whole shop to yourself to soak up everything you see.
I tried to take as many pictures as I could without just snapping the backs of 
heads.  I am still trying to figure out how to take better pictures but these will give
you an idea of how wonderfully magical Wendy's creations are.  


















 Sorry Wendy for my blurred picture!



 This is the side garden next to Theater of Dreams.  Such a magical place!

Hand made Xmas Ornaments from long ago


I found this picture in my I Photo library and it happens to be of someone's 
hand made ornaments.  They are glittered eggs with original pop-beads
(for those of us old enough to remember).  They are so cute and
are for sale at the shop.

Cherubini Coffee House

Here's  the link to an article I just came upon in the Danville Patch, an
on-line newpaper for our local area, about the Cherubini Coffee House. danville.patch.com/listings/cherubini-coffee-house. Cherubini's
Italian roast coffee is the best!!  They also have wonderful breakfasts,
soups, salads, sandwiches and home-made pastries and deserts.
(We are located upstairs behind Cherubini)

Fall colors are here!

     
 Who says California doesn't have seasons?  Being born and
   raised right here, well, Menlo Park, to be exact, I have always felt
    we have seasons.  Maybe not as colorful as the New England
     fall colors but they sure are beautiful to me.

Halloween is over...on to Thanksgiving

Isn't this weather crazy and wonderful? I had to show you what should be the final
pick of  this season's  roses from my backyard.  No wonder I can't get in the Xmas
spirit.  Roses in November?  That's crazy, for my roses anyway.
