PALM SPRINGS

Were you in palm springs this weekend, because for some reason my instagram feed told me everyone was. These pictures are from my weekend there last month with a group of girlies. Pool time, cold drinks, late night, light dresses, the palm springs usual. I could use some more pool time, it's going to be over a 100 degrees here tomorrow! Welcome October, ha!

ps. King's Highway breakfast, best ever. Homemade granola and french press coffee, all the way!

This sweet woman set up the whole weekend, all for our favorite bride / now newlywed!

HAPPY FALL FROM DISNEYLAND

I so wish I was at Disneyland this afternoon to see the space shuttle pass over, but it was a preschool day. We did, however, hop over yesterday! The boys and I waited on a Mickey bench outside the gates of Disneyland for daddy to meet us from work. Then as the four of us headed in, the Mr. and Mrs. of the park were there to greet us and wish everyone a happy fall!

............

Pumpkins are out, and it's officially fall!

Have a happy first weekend of the new season, xo!

RANDOMS

Graham's been running a fever for two days, hurry up new tooth.

I quit facebook and bought a domain name in the same hour today.

I have my fourth and last bachelorette of the summer to attend this weekend, Palm Springs I'm comin!

Storm clouds, summer rain, rainbows, earthquake, full moon, and 100 degrees. Um, what.

Ewan starts preschool next week. Makes me sad, happy, nervous... I can't figure it out.

Jeff started his second year of law school this week. Reality check.

Liana is married. MARRIED. Visited their new apartment this past weekend, she just seemed way too grown up.

The boys' boutonnieres from the wedding are still on my mantel, and I just saw the professional photos from the wedding day, whoa baby. Beyond.

Speaking of wedding, dad left me a message the other day saying, "hit me back later". Apparently he's the next jayZ since his video went 400 views viral.

I bought two of these shirts this week.

My mom's birthday is tomorrow, the last of 6 family birthdays for the month of August.
(mom, dad, sister, brother, ewan, and wyatt. in case you were trying to count.)

Not to mention two friends who turned 30 this month. And so it begins.

The shop is 5 sales away from 100!!!

Way looking forward to the three-day weekend. The end.

As Ewan would say, blaahhhh!

OH HELLO VINTAGE AND FRIENDS

So this past weekend I went to thee orange county vintage sale of the summer, and grabbed a couple goodies and couple new friends!

I met Danni, Rubyellen, and Tara!

As I headed into the sale I beelined straight to a familiar face, my long time friend Heather. She told me about the upcoming sale, and I definitely wanted to pick through her kids clothes first thing.

Heather then introduced me to Tara!

Tara was just as california cool as I had imagined her to be. Her blog was one of the first ones I started following after I started mine back in 2007, and we have hooked up recently on instagram. It was a quick "meet in real life" as I was headed into the sale and her early bird self was headed out. She beat the heat, smart woman.

Then a booth over was Ruby! And Ben, and Glow! Sweetness overload with that family. I tried to steal one of her pillows on display, but I couldn't run fast enough. :) And recently discovered... Ruby and I are practically neighbors! Time to get the boys together with all those girls.

And my big purchase of the day was a $15 vintage globe. I chit chatted with the woman who took my money telling her how I wanted to take home everything. Happy with my purchase, and showing it off to Heather later, she told me it was Danni I bought it from. Hand slap to the forehead. I'm so bad at these meet-in-real-life things. I did the same thing with someone else recently who I'm too embarrassed to say who it was. Regardless of me being clueless, Danni was just as lovely in person as she is on her blog. And I'm in love with her old / my new globe.

Stroller parking in the front, patient men waiting in the back. All the ladies selling and shopping were pure happy. It was such a fun place to be on a Saturday morning!

I had pulled my sister out of bed that morning to go vintage hunting with me, as she lives only a couple streets over from where the sale was held. And if you know me like she does, once I'm out of the house, it's hard to get me back home. I take full advantage of personal time when I'm out and about. So sister and I went on to the thrifts after, even sitting on the street curb waiting for one of them to open at 11am. We scored some good finds, had fun walking the downtown streets in her hood, and said we would do it every Saturday until forever.

Sisters, friends, and good finds. Every saturday please?
