Feliz Navidad from Napa Valley. Beautiful. I awoke in the bed that was my mother's as a child in the house of my grandmother. We looked through old pictures of my great grandmother and her mother and her mother's mother... Lovely. My laptop was abandonded in the IE so I offer you a secret picture from my papa's desktop. He's researching industrial hemp oil as a source for biodiesel... something with engines... Love.

Had a lovely time last night in Santa Monica at the LA Craft Fair. Ashley wore the skirt I made her and looked phenomenal! Dee-lish food. We met the proprietors of some great blogs...
B-E-A-ewe-tiful evening!

Making acorns into Christmas ornaments is my current passion. Thanks to all my friends for sharing in it with me last night. Merry Christmas. I am overwhelmed with what beautiful people I have in my life.

Name ideas...

I've been sporting my bustles quite a bit lately and I've realized something- people really like them. I've decided to start a small online store.
I'm trying to think of a name. I want to name my "line" after Pierre who I call pear. So I would like the name to have the word pear in it. The ______ pear or _____ pear. Ideas? Please share.

This beauty was inspired by the necessity to use my new grommet punch that I purchased at Hancock's notion sale a few weeks back. One of my favorites to date.
