Today's photo: There was a small flock of Elegant Terns in with the seagulls on the beach in Seaside last weekend.  They were pretty cool and making all kinds of noises.

This weekend is Three Speckled Hens up in Paso Robles again.  I'm excited to see what treasures we find this time.

Today's photo: The old sign of the Greyhound bus station in downtown Salinas.  I love all of the cool signs and buildings; so much more character than our "downtown" of strip malls.

Today's photo: Some cool buildings in downtown Salinas.

My mom's birthday was last week, so we went on an adventure with my brother and our kindergarten teacher to celebrate.  We went up to Salinas on Saturday morning and visited a fun antique store.  We also checked out the local farmer's market where we found a guy who sells birds;  he had some of the nicest looking, most beautiful finches.  I'm so excited to get some cute little finches once we get our aviary set up in the backyard.  Then we walked along the beach over in Seaside.  And finally we headed down the coast and had a wonderful, leisurely dinner at Nepenthe in Big Sur.  I'll be sharing some of the photos that I took on our fun little adventure.

Today's photo: Graham got creative in the kitchen tonight.  For dessert we had sautéed pears and crumbled bacon over vanilla ice cream.  It was a very interesting and delicious combination.

Today's photo: I'm a little behind on my blogging.  I had some camera issues and some laziness issues, but I'm back.  Here's the start of a little fabric bunting strand that I'm making to decorate the shelves in my craft room.

Today's photo: I got to play around in my craft-half-a-room today and it was awesome.  I really love my new desk and shelves and drawers and everything!  I started a project with some fabric, but all I have pictures of so far is the tiny scraps.  But they were pretty and looked like confetti.

Now that I have my new craft space I will be blogging more about what exciting stuff I'm working on, as well as getting my Etsy shop up and running.

Today's photo: Here is a sneak preview of what we have been working on this past weekend in the craft room/office.  It is looking really awesome and I can't wait until I can work in it.  We still have some finishing work to do, but then I will take some pictures and tell all about it.

Today's photo: Tiny glow-in-the-dark dinosaur that we found while excavating the backyard.  I think we better call in a paleontologist.

Today's photo: Monty was eyeing the snickerdoodles that I made today.  They were tasty and he really thought he wanted to try one.

Today's photo: I'm also growing some tiny little apples, so I can bake a tiny apple pie!  I will be sure to take pictures of the pie too.

Today's photo: I have a tiny pumpkin growing in our backyard.  So far it has survived all of the trench digging in the and will hopefully survive for Halloween.

Today's photo: New Martha Stewart craft paints from Michaels.  I apparently like to get things in one of every color, but believe it or not, there are so many more colors of these that I still don't have.  These paints seem pretty awesome because you can use them on any type of surface, like wood or ceramic.  I've been playing around with them on wood and I plan to try them out on some plain ceramic plates soon.
