Tablescapes, California Memories

This time of year I always get a little homesick for Southern California where I grew up…

 

 

 

The Beach Boys, surf boards, VWs… much simpler times…

 

 

 

We stole some summer weather this week on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, and I threw open the doors, put on a sundress, and happily set a table on the porch

 

 

A friend gave me these frosted glasses with California scenes on them …they bring back so many memories

 

Santa Barbara, where we’ve had so many family events

Palm Springs, where my sister lives

Wilshire Blvd and downtown Los Angeles where my Dad worked

Citrus Groves, where my parents lived when they retired…

 

 

So I’m bringing you a little California dreamin’ to brighten your winter day

 

 

Summer bright colors to chase the chills away

 

 

Palm trees and sea breezes

 

To  replace winter’s chills and sneezes

 

A virtual trip to the beach

 

 

Out of winter’s reach

 

 

A trip to the coast, is a good medicine dose~

 

 

I hope it won’t be too long before your toes land in the sand…
