Such a tiny short visit this time, snuck in during my one week allowed off work for the next 6 months or so ~ this must be remedied soon, we are not made to live one week a year and sneak in everything we must do on weekends. Steal back your life! But I digress, [...]

Elly & I made our annual pilgrimage to Theatre of Dreams in Port Costa. Heartbreakingly lovely, I wish I could move to this little town and make beautiful things all day!!

Growing up in Vermont, I spent hours poring over my parent’s handmade house books, imagining tiny spaces and woodland homes I would call my own one day.
