Nursery Sneak Peak

After two boys we are having a GIRL! Not till next month, but I am starting to get the nursery ready. For now we have to share a room with the baby till we move to a bigger house next year, so it's not my dream nursery, but I think I can get it pretty close :)
Instead of a mobile - since I could never find one I like for my boys, I opted for these pom pom balls, and I love them.


I also want to incorporate some of the decor that I had in my room growing up:

Like my favorite set of books, Beatrix Potter.


My kissing couple.


and My Humpty Dumpty plate (i used to have another plate of red riding hood, but my first son broke that one, so I am left with only one plate)

I'm still planning on how to pull everything together. I have some beautiful prints from a great etsy shop I can't wait to show off, stay posted as I finish up :)

America's Got Talent

The funnest thing I've been watching this summer has been America's Got Talent. So far I've been pulling for the chicken farmer from Kentucky, Kevin Skinner. If you haven't been watching, it's not too late to get hooked on the show. Kevin has already made it to the finals. Tonight is the last night of the remaining semi-finalist's. There are some incredible acts and it will be hard to choose a favorite. But I'm hoping the chicken farmer makes it all the way to the end.

Shopping the Gold Country, Murphys

Shopping in the gold country of California is a boutique lover's dream. Starting in Jamestown, all the way up to Nevada City, you will find one original gold rush town after another and each has it own unique look and feel. And many of the old buildings have darling boutique shops in them. They range from clothing to anitques to art galleries. And of course fabulous restaraunts, ice cream shops and candy stores. The last 3 photos is of Pizzazz located in Murphys, owned by Melissa Ninos. Melissa came to the gold country about 10 years ago. They opened Pizzazz 9 years ago and they also own the Victoria Inn in Murphys which has a fabulous restaraunt call V as in Victor for her husband that runs it. Also pictured above is Moon Allie also located in Murphys. Candice (pictured above) is making candles for Moon Allie in an original process developed by Brook the owner. Also pictured above is Country Flower Hutch owned by Kathy Kurgan (pictured above) she designs beatutiful arrangments, here she is working on wedding bouquet.

Sigwarth Glass

This beautiful glass is the creation of Douglas and Renee Sigwarth. Their studio is near their home just east of St. Paul, MN. The process begins with clear glass that is heated to a molten state of 2100 degrees; it's then blown and shaped on a 5' hollow stainless steel blowpipe. Next layers of colored glass are applied in various forms like the one pictured above (red and blue glass). The piece is next transfered to an annealing oven where it slowly cools from a temperture of 950 degrees. See all their designs at sigwarthglass.com

The Wineries of Murphys, Cailfornia

There are 25 tasting rooms in and around Murphys. Brice Stationer Winery (pictured to the left) is located up Hiway 4 going towards Arnold. Frog's Tooth tasting room is located among the other 16 tasting rooms in downtown Murphys. Ironstone is by far the biggest and most impressive of the wineries. It's located about a mile outside of Murphys, it has a museum in which the Kautz specimen is housed. It's the largest specimen of crystalline gold in the world, weighing in at 44 pounds (pictured above). Ironstone has a beautiful tastingroom with a 1800's look and feel. It also has an amphiteatre which hosts such artists at The Moody Blues, Alan Jackson, and Jason Mras. Check out all their events at www.ironstonevineyards.com

Vintage Purses

I was looking for a good website for vintage purses, when I found these darling purses on modbag.com This store is owned by Martha Torno and Tom Clark. For almost 20 years they have specialized in quality mid-twentieth century home furninshings, which are also wonderful. You can find those at moderntimeschicago.com


The price range for the purses is around $200-$500. But considering their uniqueness and perfect condition, I don't think you can go wrong. Check them out!

Murphys Caifornia

John and Daniel Murphy came to Sutters Fort in 1844. When gold was discovered a few years later, they began mining for gold. They formed a camp called Murphys Camp, which is known today as Murphys, California. Almost $20 million of gold was found in and around Murphys.

The Picture above of Murphys Hotel is one of the oldest continually operating Hotels in California. Some its more notable guests are U.S. Grant, Mark Twain and Black Bart.

Murphys is known as the Queen of the Sierra and the playgound of the Bay Area. With its many vineyards and wine tasting rooms in historic downtown Murphys.

Blackberry Cobbler

We just moved back to California. Now I know this state has it problems, i.e. it's bankrupt, the traffic is horrific, and the unemplyment rate is high. But we just moved to the cutest little town called Murphys. It's an old gold mining town that has never lost it original look. Truly it's charming. In the upcoming weeks, I'll take you to some of its darling boutiques, wineries, and restaraunts. But today I have to tell you about these beautiful blackberries in our backyard. What a wonderful surprise these were! The first day we moved in, my husband came into the kitchen with a bowl full of berries. Too tired to make pie, I found an old cobbler recipe in my recipe file. WOW!! it is so good I have to share it with you. You may be wondering why the picture is of red berries, that's because I've made so many cobblers that all the ripe berries are gone. Now all we can do is wait for these to turn ripe, and I guarantee my husband will be out there again picking a bowl full.

Blackberry Cobbler
1c sugar 1t baking powder
3 tablespoons flour 1/4 c shortening
1 c water 1/2 c milk
3 to 4 c blackberries dash of salt
1 c flour
Mix the sugar, 3 T of four and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for one minute. Add the berries and gently mix. Pour this into a 9x9 pan. Dot with a few teaspoons of butter and sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top. Now mix the flour, salt and the baking powder. Cut in the shortening, then add the milk and mix. Spoon this over the berries. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Serve with ice cream if you want. Enjoy.
