San Francisco International Gift Fair, here I come!

You know what is super-completely and totally the awesomest? Today, I drove my truck around INSIDE MOSCONE CENTER! I wish I had a good photo for you but I super-completely and totally did not want to get yelled at by a Teamster.

A letter.

Dear Gap,

Must boy's bathing suits have pockets? What purpose could they possibly serve other than the transport of sand into my washer?

Love,

Rebecca

So, anyway....

So, anyway.... Now I have to go camping. Can't say that I'm a fan.

I just really don't get it. I don't get why you'd want to take the entire contents of your home - but not the good stuff, not the knives you actually want to use, or the bed you actually want to sleep in - into the non-wilderness and sleep next to your car. But some people like it.

And since I live in a kingdom with three kings, all of whom like camping, camping I will go.

I think this is their revenge for all the times I've made them accompany me to the fabric store.

Bedouin tent (which would be more my style, camping-wise) photo here.

Busy Beeing.

I have been a busy busy girl. Well, in between road trips and vacations and general summer momishness. Onevermind. I have a big-ass wholesale show in a week and I'm barely ready. But I do have a new wholesale catalog! It's on my website. Super-exciting - I know! It's almost like a real business!

Anyway, this is what I've been working on....

4. Visit tide pools

Summer mom rarely wakes her little ones up early - and if she does, you can be sure it's for a very good reason....

Reviews were mixed and comments ranged from "Ew, it's slimy!" to "Can we go now?" Summer mom doesn't mind - she knows that if there's no complaining, she's not doing her job.

And look, a rare photo of my kids And me - see how happy they are? I think this was taken right after I promised them pancakes. One million thanks to Julie who made coffee, found us beautiful tide pools in lovely Carpinteria, CA and took the photo above. XOXO!

Of course, purple.

Because I find it covers the grey so beautifully.

Foil hat, please.

Remember my fireplace? Whatever, Pottery Barn. I hate/love it when you steal my ideas.
