Chasing My Shadow

A bright and chilly morning in Manhattan…..sipping my coffee, walking along the Hudson…a quick stop to chase my shadow and off to the show I go.

A Spirit Always Surging

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 20:30:53 +0000

A spirit always surging with learning ever there, a school with moving purpose and freedom in the air, wind blown fields of green grass a changing sea of blue, a school that’s ever growing with memories old and new….

I can’t believe I still remember all the words for my grade school song. The other day I ran into one of the school busses that I rode for nine years when I attended Marin Country Day School and I had to stop and take a photo….such beautiful memories of friendships that have lasted a lifetime, of singing song after song, flying kites, freedom, innocence and so many games of capture the flag. I feel lucky to have experienced such a special place with truly passionate teachers who sparked my curiosity and creativity….those experiences have served me well.

How Santa Rolls in Petaluma…By Tug Boat

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:24:04 +0000

One of the things I really enjoy about living in a smaller town is the unusual regional traditions that become part of your own family traditions.

This year India is two and at an age to appreciate the magic and wonder of Santa Claus so this weekend we gathered with children of all ages down at the Petaluma River to celebrate Santa and Mrs Claus and their seasonal arrival on the Petaluma tug boat.

India was in awe of the energy and excitement and waited patiently for her turn to greet Santa ….by the time Santa made his way through the crowd to us she was speechless…..and as soon as we bid Santa adieu she could not stop talking about him!

How fabulous that India will forever associate Santa with a tug boat and not a sleigh….I love that we are now creating traditions that India will call her own.

Love is in the Air

Our dear Desiree was married Saturday night on magical Sonoma Mountain. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house when she and Tyler exchanged their vows. There is something so incredibly dear about young love.

We wish them a lifetime of beautiful discoveries together.

Desiree and Tyler…the newlyweds.

Hog Island Heaven

admin — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:37:42 +0000

Friday was Robbie’s birthday and he rode out to Marshall (and I drove) and we visited our friends Laurie and Terry of Hog Island Oyster Co. and shared the most amazing day overlooking beautifully rustic Tamales Bay. We feasted on delicious oysters, charcuterie, Cowgirl Creamery cheeses, artisanal breads and local wines..

We were treated to a tour and a rainbow of veggies in the on site gardens. Laurie gifted us with the most fabulous fava beans that Robbie then magically turned into a delicious puree that night with garlic, olive oil and Parmesan on Della Fattoria toasted semolina bread…a heavenly end to a perfect day.

Thank you lovely friends!

Birthday boy enjoying his favorite food…Hog Island Oysters.

Get ready favas…you are going to be a puree soon!

My Future Jewelry Designer

admin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:33:03 +0000

India came to visit the studio this week and was in awe of Melissa in our production department who was busily working on spring hoop earrings with India sitting in her lap….

India is a girl on the go but not a peep was heard as she soaked it all in. She was completely mesmerized with every move Melissa made.

Jewelry designer in the making?

I’m just saying I called it first……
