Landslide


by Fleetwood Mac

















Yosemite looms large in my memory. As a child we made a yearly jaunt every spring and it remains my favorite place on earth, and one of the most evocative of times past. Having breakfast at the Ahwahnee Hotel was always a highlight on our trips. I spent countless hours exploring both the interior and the grounds and its intricacies have been etched in my mind.

The decor in my apartment today is in many ways influenced by its design. I'm always looking for more ways to create the feeling of being in Yosemite in my tiny place (which is hilarious when I think about it -- our apt is so tiny and dark!) and just found out that Pendleton has a special Ahwahnee blanket! Love it.

A Little Bit of Rain

Every house needs some driftwood. Yes, please!

Colorado Girl


by Townes Van Zandt

I got a new plain ol' Balinese black shell yesterday, and am now looking for the perfect wooden necklace to compliment it. A few options:






















Option 1 is gorge!






















Option 2 is muy expensivo, but so striking! It reminds me of shark's teeth, which is a good thing!






















Option 3 is pretty but a touch too short for my needs.






















And then there's option 4!

All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down


cover by Elliott Smith

































I have been obsessing all day about this clean, simple and beautiful shirt available in two colors, white and tan, created by Wintercheck Factory. Total perfection!

Lovecats



















Well, here he is! I can't even put into words what my cat means to me! He's the sweetest, most special little guy.

I think he would like one of these cat beds to snuggle in (that's not him in there):
































I love how they are woven and resemble a basket. You can get em in any color right here!

Too Late For Goodbyes















I'm looking for something a tad classier to carry to work every day and this tote from LL Bean seems to do the trick. May ask for it for Christmas (in olive). Sorry for the tiny-ish pic -- it was the best I could do!

While I was there I noticed LL Bean has some truly beautiful and fairly affordable bags, for the ladies and dudes also!
















Thinking about getting this duffle for my man for Christmas as well! LL Bean bags all around!
