We got home from California late last night but I wanted to share some more pictures from our trip ~

This is my daughter Steph and her fiance in Santa Barbara ~ we stopped by there on our way to Templeton ~

This is a picture of a vineyard right by my sisters house in Templeton ~ it is becoming a popular area to go wine tasting ~

Here is a gorgeous picture of the ocean in Cambria ~

This is at my niece's wedding ~ from the left is me, my sister and my mom~

And the beautiful bride Chelsey with her bridesmaids ~ they are all cousins except the two girls on the far left who are the grooms sisters ~

The last picture and the one of Cambria are courtesy of my son law who will have a website soon !! He is an amazing photographer ~

Now I am back home and listing some new treasures on my website ~ it is always fun to go but always fun to come home too ~

I just had to share a few photos of our vacation we are on in California ~
The first couple of days we spent going to Catalina Island on a friend's sailboat ~ It was so much fun because on the way over we took the Catalina Express that took us 1 hour to get there and then we spent the night on the boat ~

The next day we hiked and hung out and then sailed home which took 5 hours because there wasn't any wind ~
Both ways we saw Blue Whales really close ~ it was so cool !!! You see Grey Whales in California more often but rarely see Blue Whales so it was awesome ~

Now we are visiting family in Templeton so we are going antique shopping and just BBQing and hanging out ~ I will take more pics along the way ~

Talk to you soon !!!

I just got home from a few days

in Central California ~

Oh my goodness it was glorious

there! The weather was awesome

( it was great to get away

from the Texas heat )

and well I just pretty much

love it all ~

Family, childhood memories, the beach,

the mountains, the vineyards,

the weather... I could go on and on ~

It is funny how when we lived there

I completely took the beautiful

hills and ocean for granted ~

It has been 16 years since we

moved to North Texas and I am

a happy gal to have family

in California and flight privileges :)

I am a lavender freak so seeing it

all over is amazing to me!

This is a beautiful bed and breakfast that

a friend's wedding was at in Templeton ~

This is a really fun place in Avila Beach called

Avila Valley Barn ~

This is my sister and niece

picking yummy apples ~

I have been home a day and am totally

ready to go back ~

Hopefully in October for the

Remnants of the Past Vintage Show

and

Three Speckled Hens Show ~

Now it is back to work (fun)

for me ~

My niece is getting married next Saturday in Central California ~ We decided to make a vacation out of our trip so we flew into Santa Ana airport and have been sight seeing before we head up the coast ~
We spent our first 2 days at Disneyland and California Adventure which was so much fun ~

Today we went to Laguna Beach and got to put our toes in the sand, which I love to do ! We are from California and miss the ocean very much so every time we visit I have to go to the beach ~

My daughter Steph and I enjoying watching the waves ~

These are my daughters, Kristin and Steph in one of my very favorite Laguna shops called Cottage Furnishings ~

I guess I took a little too long there so this is how my family
waited for me ~

We are heading up to Templeton tomorrow so I will post more pics soon !
