Diane Cook is a Lovely Lady!

Well, you'll never guess who visited this week from Texas~~~Diane Cook!   And she is even lovelier than her blog!   And her blog is BEAUTIFUL~~~

First, she brought me wonderful gifts~~Silk, a crucifix charm, delicate angel wings and a charm handcrafted by her.  See the beautiful sisters?   And their darling feet?  Below it all dangles a Czech bead. Charming!!!  Diane also gave me a luscious bar of soap.  It's not pictured because I put it in my shower immediately.   mmmmm so wonderful...

We had breakfast together~~

And enjoyed the beauty of Sonoma AND Bodega Bay.  Of course we talked and laughed and ate way too much.  Our husbands treated us like princesses and I had a great time.  She had to leave this morning, but she leaves with my friendship and love.   Now my DH and I must travel to Texas!

Sonoma on Saturday

My DH and I spent the day in Sonoma...how pretty and sunny and full of shoppers and cool artsy shops!


Sonoma has pretty fountains.


And another pretty fountain...

Here's the shop that carries my work! Woo hoo!!!


Look in the front window...My jewelry!! What a thrill!!! So of course I took a picture. So far no sales, but I was told that it's been rather slow all over. And to be patient. So the resin and stamps that I wanted to buy from Beaducation and Susan Lenart Kazmer will need to wait to join my collection.

DH found an old armoire at The Church Mouse, a thrift store on the Sonoma square. He's been hunting for an armoire for years...I had to say yes when he spotted this bargain. Now he has a place to put his clothes. Those plastic bins were rather tacky! He and his son and brother will muscle it into the truck tomorrow and muscle it back to our room.

I hope your Saturday was as laid back as ours! God bless you all.
