One of the wonderful things about visiting northern California is that my brother and SIL live right in the same town as the waxy girls.
Spent the morning visiting with my niece Ali (now beautifully recovering from Hodgkins) who, you might remember got married in March and now lives in the San Francisco area, and my nephew Aaron who is currently living in Korea and here for a 2 week visit.
The view from Ali's apartment
I LOVE my family

After a delicious lunch, and a brief stop at the Farmers Market in Santa Cruz... with entertainment
and where flowers were in abundance
I met up with Wendy and Judy who took me to "heaven" !!
This bird cage comes from Germany...is very old...and ratty looking...all the more reason I said " DO YOU SHIP" ! It had tiny pieces of jewelry in it that some bird 'stole' and dropped in there...or at least so says the 'legend'...
dont'cha love the little plastic cow ??!!??
YES...another "DO YOU SHIP" item !! An old, working concertina.
Cloth doll bodies that come from Japan...Wendy/Judy bought up a ton of them for an art project !
Seriously boys and girls...if you can make a trip over to Saffron and Genevieve at 910B Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz...run !!
Open Wednesday to Saturday 11-5:30pm
****************
Tomorrow...well..if all goes as planned...we're going whale watching...I'm stocked up on the dramamine...
A little nervous !
It was so great to meet you and find your blog too! Now I'm living this trip vicariously through you, except for the motion sickness :) Thank you so much for the great post about my shop! Your goodies will be on their way shortly.
Happy Trails,
Scarlett

Can't wait for the whale watching, something I have always wanted to do. Hope you love it!

I'm a rubbish sailor too! Enjoy the whale watching, I'll be looking forward to the stills!
Another great "day in the life" post - fabulous news that your niece continues to make a great recovery - you must be so pleased.
