Come on, it's me in the mirror again...
(Remember, Alameda & that huge pediment?)
All bright-eyed and ready to get some beautiful items
for my shop and home in Petaluma
This is going to be a two or three part post...
And first things first.
Let's eat and drink
This little juice place has the best juice, smoothies
and bagels around...
I don't know why but we can't find a decent bagel
in our town... have to travel to Petaluma
which is one of the sweetest towns around too.
This is my hubby's apple juice...
when it first came I thought, ewww
is this some artificial apple juice
It was freshly juiced apples and delicious,
I almost wished I had ordered this instead of my
passion fruit smoothie
My smoothie was so good though,
a very good choice if I say so myself!
Do you like bagels?
Sorry, I took a bite before I remembered
I need to take a photo...
that's just how good and fresh these bagels are here
Toasted warm goodness
An everything seeded (love seeds) bagel
with sun-dried tomato cream cheese
(no I didn't ask if it was low-fat ;)
We ate our bagels and listened
to a bit of piano music
I would say like old ragtime music
He was very good!
This is when I miss my old piano
Next... I found some goodies!
I love this dealer's booth and her goods
Lovely... Just want to move in her booth!
I've got her name and need to dig it out
of my backpack... she'll be at Alameda
this next weekend too... can't wait!
Oh... that's my hubby in the mirror.
Not the gentleman in the blue, but the one
in white/beigey shirt... well, that's half of my hubby!
I purchased some of these below
they are huge!
And some of this too
Remember, I said I was working on a special project?
All of this is inspiring me. So many talented people
using their vision of beauty in their booth set-ups.
Now... how is this for inspiration?
A precious pooch working toward helping someone
that needs his/her special love & companionship
Canine Companions for Independence
Now this is a dog truly giving back
It warms my heart so much. Way to go little puppy!
Here's more information about Canine Companions
if you're interested
People circled this beautiful dog, but no touching,
he's in training!
I am proud to say my town and community is a huge
dog loving place. I would never live in some town
that didn't embrace dogs & cats
Well... all animals in general!
No circuses or rodeos here ever.
Now, is it me or this guy a tad bit scary?
I was waiting for him to jump out and bite me
Yikes!
At this point, I felt my husband deserved a short break
I know, we'll pretend we're in Europe and he can
enjoy one of his favorite beers at Taps
Yes... he thinks he's in Brussels
Almost
Thanks for joining us (moi) today...
The next stop will be
Summer Cottage Antiques
See you in a couple days...
You'll love Michelle's store and I'll tell you
a little bit about her too.
Happiness to you!
