Thinking about: Ellsworth Kelly.

Workroom glimpse....

Look! I cleaned my worktable! Yes - that's what we're calling "clean." Smartass. And? The bookkeeping is done. And? The sales tax is paid.
You know what that means? Time to start thinking about Christmas....

Around here....

Summer is for waterslides, homemade toasted marshmallow ice cream, head out the car window, and climbing on rocks. Plus? Unlimited laser tag on Wednesdays. For real.

Friday, I'm in love....

with The Mystery Show - a podcast where Starlee Kine solves mysteries. You probably already know about it because you're so smart and awesome, but I thought I should mention it anyway, in case you had not.

On the farm.

Yard to table.

Around here....

Around here, Mama has been at her battle station pretty much all the time, and we've just been wedging summer in where we can - but that is Over. Summer Mom has arrived and she's all in.
Or she's doubling down. Or some other euphemism of dubious relevance.

This weekend!

Come visit the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco this weekend! BananaSaurus Rex will be there (Herbst Pavilion, booth 304) with loads of eco-friendly, handmade goodies. Seriously, I've been sewing for weeks. I can't wait to show you!
xo.

Renegade glimpse....

Come visit me at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend (July 18 and 19) at Fort Mason in San Francisco. I have NEW bags in gorgeous, bright summer linens and I can't wait to show them to you!
I'll be in the Herbst Pavilion, Booth 304 - on the center aisle, about halfway back, on the right (in case you're Mimi and Papa, and don't love spending half the day looking for me). 11AM to 6PM both days. Can't wait!

On the farm.

First basil harvest - and pesto made with roasted garlic and almonds. Each almond is worth a gallon of water, so we'd better enjoy them, right? (Basil Almond pesto is really yummy.)

Around here....

Around here, I work too much and this is what fifty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents worth of Motherly guilt will buy you.

Workroom glimpse....

 All work and no summer mom.

On the farm.

Around here....

Around here, we're in a west Marin valhalla with cousins and water and light. Summer Mom makes an appearance (Go to bed whenever you want.) (Yes - you can have a cookie before breakfast and could you bring me one?) but not as often as we'd all like. It's been a slow roll-out for Summer Mom this year. Nobody is happy about it.

Friday, I'm in love....

I can't get enough of this.

The materials.

What says summer better than a pile of super-soft, beyond beautiful, vintage linen. Nothing!
(Okay, raspberry popsicles maybe - but who's counting?)
