Sweet Lavender

I went lavender picking on Sunday.... The moment I opened the car door the aroma of the lavender was so thick in the air it was amazing!!!!

The fields were amazing....

The colors were amazing....

There were bees everywhere, busy working.. It was a very lovely day. On the way home we stopped at this little fruit stand that was on the honor system... gotta love small towns:) The organic apricots were amazing!!!

I am making my own lavender soap... will let you know how it turns out...

Cheers

Sweet Vintage...



Just did the show the Little French Flea Market... Lots of fun as always love seeing
my friends from this show:)
I had this sweet cabinet that I painted the yummiest blue ever inside, I had so many people come by
saying that it caught their eye with the beautiful milk glass inside.. The cabinet sold as did much of the lovely
milk glass... Then I have the fabulous from the 1950's owl bird bath oh my gosh sooo cute..... Though my daughter had a thought... she said aren't owls suppose to scare birds away... uumm???
 It was a great day since this is inland the weather turned out to be wonderful, living by the coast right now is not so fun we are having our famous "June Gloom" it gets pretty old after awhile...
This is my favorite show!!!

My vision quest continues my daughter and I took a little trip up to Monterey (one of my favorite places!!!) and we had a great time... I found lots of sweet treasures.... ie the owl bird bath was one of them... It rained a good part of our stay there but we still got out and saw the sights another one of my favorite spots right next door is Pacific Grove just a darling little town. The history here is very interesting. The canneries the Spanish just all of it... The ocean is the most beautiful color such a deep and rich blue and when the waves break with the snow white foam it is just amazing. 
 The contrast between the white and blue is breath taking as the waves hit the huge rock formations in the ocean and the water flows back down to begin its journey again....

Cheers for now
