I'm just back from visiting my good friends in the Santa Cruz mountains. Above is my hostess, Ellen, mixing up a lemon drop cocktail. We enjoyed a different concoction every evening. Yum.
Here I am with Linda in front of our favorite restaurant in Carmel Village,
Casanova's. We lunch here every time I visit, and never grow tired of the food and atmosphere. After our delicious lunch we always stroll the enticing shops. Occasionally we buy, as did Linda on a previous visit; that

Susie and I were

Capitola cliffs, watching the pelicans and beachcombers below.
Of course I did a bit of shopping while in the shopping mecca of CA. And I couldn't wait to get to my studio to put some of it to use. Here is
taffeta from Ellen's mother's stash, a clipping from a 1945 magazine and various bibs and bobs. I don't want to leave my studio but life calls...

How did I miss this post?
You look SMASHING! Seriously--you always look liked you've just stepped off the page of a chic catalog.
I envy your Friend Fest! That sounds like so much fun. I'm impressed you've all managed to keep your friendship going. It's hard with time, distance, separate lives, etc.
