Barefoot wedding part 1

Here are a few of the 1500 photos […]

Heirloom Doll Crib

Every time I smell sawdust I slip into a nostalgic haze.  Back to the days when I was a little girl watching my dad handcraft violins & fine furniture in his wood shop.  I thought it was a great honor to help with the sanding.  Lately I have had the pleasure of watching my dad […]

Road trip chapter five

Day five: Carmel is enchanting. Quiet & Quaint. We wandered the streets until dark (they don’t have street lights) then retired to our room and relaxed in front of the fireplace. The weather was perfect. The next morning we had a picnic basket with fresh bakery outside our door. Put Carmel by the Sea on […]
