Did you enjoy your long weekend?
Husband and I spent most our time hiking around Angel Island. We took a very pleasant, but short ride over to the island on the Tiburon Ferry (it was my first time!). When you arrive, there is a nice little café (try the fig + greens salad, if it’s still available), live music, a visitors center, gift shop, bikes to rent or bring your own, and lots of trails – everything a tourist could ask for.
Hmmm…a tourist that lives 30 minutes away? Is there such a thing?
On the ferry:
Orange blossoms along the trail to the top of Mount Livermore:
Bad photo, but we saw a little fawn, too (so cute!):
I thought it was weird to see jellyfish by the dock, so here it is:

Daydreaming about swimming in one of these lovely pools…
The photos are from here, here and here.
I have been looking around for just the right picnic blanket for a few weeks. And now that summer is just about over, I decided to make my own instead!
A waterproof picnic blanket – and with damask fabric for the top layer. Hmmm. That could be a big mistake.
What do you think (see photos below)? Too busy or too fancy for a picnic?
Maybe not so much, if it is just the two of you + a picnic dinner in your own backyard.
Chicken curry, anyone?
Blanket in progress:

Starting to set up for the dinner picnic in the backyard.
Sorry, no chicken curry pics. Big disappointment.
I am so happy! I received my first fabric request via Spoonflower. I love that she wants to make aprons and kitchen curtains out of this fabric. What cute ideas!
A spinach smoothie for the warmer months – add one frozen banana, as much spinach as you want, almond milk, and one tablespoon of cocoa powder and blend!
Husband and I took a walk to the local nursery, King’s Nursery, over the weekend. Quickly snapped a few shots of my favorites. Has anybody tried this before?
Swing with the plants made by Droog. I’ll take one for each room, please??
Just discovered this bike via Small Adventure. Doesn’t it look like fun to tour around in?
A nice perk – it folds up in thirty seconds. Take it with you or stow it away.
Find them here. Watch how fast you can fold a Strida bike here.
* My first fabric giveaway is coming up soon – stay tuned!
