Welcome to Favorite Book Fridays! We absolutely love reading, and have acquired quite the collection of books, but of course, one can never have enough books! So what's one to do?!

Here on the Central Coast (the Black Gold Library System runs from Paso Robles down to Santa Paula), you can check out up 20 books at a time - that's a whole lot more reading material to keep those little minds engaged and entertained!We always come home from the...

We are so excited to share with you our new website!  Over the past year, our business has grown to 11 locations nationwide, and we fully expect this number to increase.  We wanted to provide our retail stores with an easier way to choose styles and colors, and we knew the best way to do that was to create our very own full-service site.  On-site ordering is currently available for retail stores only, but we invite anyone to peruse the products.   We are currently offering 4 collections: 100% Wool, Wool Blend, Fabric Flowers, and Bow Ties.  We are starting with...

Christmas is just around the corner, but Thanksgiving isn't over yet. I was inspired by an article I saw in Sunset Magazine about planting succulents in a pumpkin for a decorative display. I love succulents, I just can't get enough of them, so this was right up my alley. I think these would look great as a centerpiece for a beautiful Thanksgiving table, but if you don't want to bring them indoors, they would also be lovely on your front porch to welcome your guests for Thanksgiving dinner.I used two different pumpkins that I grew this year.
