Welcome to Paisley Petunia…part two!

I find inspiration in pretty pictures, endless possibilities in a bowl of Meyer lemons, the meaning of lifetime devotion in the wagging tails of our 3 rescue dogs, end-of- the-day bliss in a glass of red wine and now, the boundless, soul clutching meaning of life in the faces of my 2 little angels.

It's a happy, creative, joy-full life we've got here in the LA sun. Come play! Bring wine.

Happy 1st of December! Before we jump headfirst into the winter holidays, a last glimpse back to Thanksgiving:

table five

table four

While I was in Northern California, I spent lots of time reveling in the colorful trees & fall foliage, like I had never seen them before. This SoCal life can make you think life is always sunshine and palm trees.

And I finished out the long holiday weekend with the annual Los Alto Festival of Lights Parade – a local tradition organized by my Aunt Nancy. This year the Quints joined us & Kylie loved the floats, marching bands and of course, Santa (isn’t she adorable in her bunny hat?!)
