st. orres

Tiny adventures! Off to the sea-side of Northern California a few weekends ago, to stay in a tiny cottage at St. Orres. So good! So cozy!

Recommended by the lovely Miss Kristin of Hiss and Hearse, St. Orres is a crazy onion dome hotel and tiny cottages built by hippies in the middle of nowhere.

  1. i’ve stayed near there before, and been in that church! not in that amazing hotel, tho. so lovely. that area is also where hitchcock filmed the birds.

  2. Wow, you just made me hyperventilate from all this gorgeousness!
    How I wish I could shrink small and fit in your packet to accompany on such marvelous adventures! I will live in the mermaid chapel, please.
    Pumpkins and milkshakes and jewels and ocean and magic oh my!
    I collapse from beauty overload now.
    p.s. Oh heavens, thank you one million times for the wonderful parcel.
    I’m drinking the black rose tea right now and am totally absorbed in the crow girl book! I love you! Yours is late (of course) but very juicy…
