Antique Vintage

Me and mom went to the flea market to find some treasures for her jewelry line and for me just to have. I found a really sweet 24k gold plated seahorse! For $3 it was mine, I just need to add a long chain.

We also stopped by the antique store and I fell deeply in love with a gorgeous cameo ring from the 1920.It looked gorgeous on...but I didn't fall in love with the $325 price tag.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a lovely Sunday. I'm kind of on vacation at home here so I almost can't remember what day it is. Ha.

Healdsburg, CA

So to catch everyone up, sunday night I bought a plane ticket for early Monday morning to come back home and surprise my parents!! They had no idea and after an almost missed first flight (Thanks boyfriend and your lack of directions) and an almost spill of the beans courtesy of United's companion email updates which emailed my mom my itinerary! (I had NO idea they did that. Luckily my brother distracted her all day) and an almost missed airport shuttle from SFO to Rohnert Park, I made it home last night. As I got a good laugh out of pulling off my plan, my mom got a good cry out of seeing me standing in the living room for the first time in 7 months. Now that you're all caught up, today we got up with the sun and traveled on up to Healdsburg to take a look at my mom's new store and just catch up. (yea, we talk on the phone 4 times a day, but we can still catch up.)

We dined at Oakville Grocery Co.: 1 portabella mushroom, roasted red peppers, onions pesto on a toasted foccacia, asparagus salad, thai cabbage salad, and my mom had a crab cake. For a little desert we indulged in a juicy, fresh crumble apricot bar. and some soy lattes.

We Shopped:

In another decor store: Ralph Lauren Thoroughbred Candle $42 AMAZING

We had a beautiful day, absolutely perfect! and now I'm relaxing poolside with an organic elderberry sparkling water and Trader Joe's organic tri-hummus. Oh, how good it is to be home!!

P.S. the latest Traditional Home magazine (June/July09') also feature's Healdsburg outstanding cuisine...
