la recap
yesterday i had some appts in the beach towns....i was so excited to see Lori from Gum Tree, in old school beach town of Hermosa, an unbelievable space part store/ part cafe..can i move in? i asked..
Lori and her husband and child. He is the chef of the cafe side..adorableness overload..
I could barely concentrate to show her the line I was scoping out many purchases i was about to get..jewelry, candles, books, leather poufs, canvas bags galore, this is a "go-to" stop for a gift...and now rikshaw will be there!then headed to see Waterleaf in Manhattan beach next (see post here)..drool drool over this textile paradise..so well done and proud the rikshaw bedding is there!
then a fantastic lunch with the gorgeous Megan Arquette, of Beachbungalow8. She is my new bff. hilarious and gabbed about everything like.. are you Team bethany or Team Jill? (and we are both Team Bethany!we are kindred!) BTW have you checked out her pod casts called the skirted round table interviewing all the home decor fabulous people!
after successful business meetings i went 'window-shopping' down the manhattan beach strip..and bought the Rag+Bone splurge above..from a store called Wrights..seriously i was only gonna get a tank top and ended up with this, but i am gonna wear the hell out of it because its SOOO comfortable!

it was sooo fun exchanging stories, saying things like "i am the one that made that comment on your post about...." this is why this event was so nice, i found blogger obsessed gals, like me..i did have a few eyebrows raise, at home, when i mentioned that i was going to meet some "blogger friends" that i had never met before and have a trunk show and explore a beach town..seemed perfectly normal to me...so so happy i did...i found my peeps!
cardiff by the sea, encinitas, del mar..these beaches are the prettiest i have ever seen in this big state of CA...the l'auberge del mar was so lovely..and has a great people watching scene at night..alexis, ohh i mean Dorothy draper..i will have a gimlet with you anytime!

the perfect day
the fabulous Sadie, from the rikshaw team, told me about the weekend sherpa..I am loving this site, you can search by activity (hike, bike, relax, get away) and by california region and you can sign up to receive their newsletters which tells you seasonal things to do..So yesterday Jumby and i headed to point reyes, and went to the best beach Limantour Beach. This stretch of pristine beach, not a single scrap of trash, beautiful blue waves and people horseback riding on the beach (it was Jumby's first time seeing a horse, i think she thought it was a dinosaur!) Then afterwards headed into cute point reyes station, where they were having a climate control rally, so i listened to a few speeches, then headed to cowgirl creamery and picked up some yummy food.The drive was so beautiful will fall foliage, cows grazing the fields, good music playin, it was a perfect day. here is the link to the activity we did..thanks sadie..next up "the perfect mt tam hike".
