Listen.

If it's not a huge inconvenience for the two of you, would you mind joining me on my other blog? It's right here. It might be way better - who knows?
xoxoxo,
Rebecca
ps. I really hope you don't mind. I have this dog that needs to be walked like 5 times a day, and I have to wake up in the night to tweet against my best interest. Cannot possibly remember to blog as well. You understand.

This weekend.

Want an EQUAL Tote in gorgeous Cinnamon? Or Olive, or Midnight? I'll hook you up.
Join me this weekend (8/27 & 28) at the SF Etsy Summer Pop Up Market! It's at Ghiradelli Square from 11AM to 5PM both days. Etsy comes to life with 50+ independent makers from all over the Bay Area! Enjoy the Lagunitas Beer Garden, Ghirardelli Chocolates, and one of the best views of the Bay. See you there!

Around here.

Around here, we've sucked the marrow out of summer - so much so that I forgot to tell you anything about it. YES! Life is so good I forgot to blog about it!
And? Read this beautiful piece by Erin Loechner. You'll be so happy you did.
And? The kids have gone back to school. So far, so good (it's been 3 days).

Roam freely.

Seriously? Is the summer practically over? Because, it's my favorite. Suddenly it's not an expanse of sun-drenched lazy days stretching out as far as we can see, but not enough weeks in which to wedge a season's worth of adventure.
And? I bought school shoes today. I don't want to talk about it.  

Our pup dictates the rhythm of our days now, and I'm grateful to have a fabulous dog-friendly West Marin Bed and Breakfast (lunch and dinner) (you cook) (it's my parents' house) where I am allowed to roam freely and for free.
Ongoing feelings of failure and inadequacy have been mitigated by the President of the United States, who told me: You failed? Well, that's what you get for trying.*
And by my favorite cheerleader/therapist/parents who said: Shut up, you're doing a great job.** And: Maybe, read more fiction and fewer tweets.**

* I'm paraphrasing. And inferring.
Also, he wasn't talking to or about me. I found it inspirational anyway.
** Again, totally paraphrasing.

You win some....

And then there's that other thing - where your tent collapses in the wind and you forgot the camp stove (again). At least you know when to cut your losses and go home to make s'mores in the backyard. And wonder why you ever leave your backyard. Everyday adventures, people.

Peace.

It's been a rough week, America. I don't begin to know what to say about it, except that we all have some hard work to do. And maybe we should stop tweeting - I'm talking about all y'all, not just one a y'all.

Limited.

Limited edition Flame Red EQUAL Totes (and all your favorite bags) will be available at the Renegade Craft Fair on July 16-17 at Fort Mason in San Francisco. It's an extremely small batch - so come pick one up or forever hold your peace. XO!
