WEEKEND READING

While in Santa Cruz last weekend my sister and I

shopped a funky little bookstore where

I found a little weekend reading...

It came with a few ooohs...

and a couple ahhhhs...

and lots of

'ohh, I Love this!'

It's par for the course when finding the

latest copy of

COUNTRY FRENCH

magazine.

I am drooling over that bedskirt.

and this dining space and kitchen

~ love~

I am always so excited when I find that a new issue has come out

This one is fantastic as usual and I will be delving into it over and over.

I also found another good read at the same bookstore

COASTAL LIVING

BEACH COTTAGE ISSUE

Beach Cottage style is another love of mine.

The sand, the surf, the starfish and shells...

Colorful, bright and cheery.

Relaxed, casual, warm and inviting.

The rooms are always breezy and beautiful.

Loving this magazine as well.

So fun to find a new favorite bookstore in Santa Cruz

especially since Borders has closed it doors.

I always enjoy stopping to pop my head in a couple local shops downtown.

Santa Cruz is an interesting, funky beach town if you have never been.

So while the kids were at the Boardwalk ~ my sister and I shopped.

While we shopped,

we might have had a little mishap that involved

an uneven sidewalk

my right ankle

and a cup of freshly brewed Peets coffee...

hehehe...

Well, it kept us laughing for hours AND I saved the coffee!

Only a few drops spilled!

Did I ever tell you that I am a great source of entertainment?

:)

I am finishing up a couple of projects this weekend~

I will be off to the fabric store this morning and am keeping my fingers crossed that

they have what I am looking for.

Also since it is my Birthday month...

:)

I just might be adding a little something to the

PATINA STYLE BOOK
