Waiting for these books to arrive...

Patty Smith, Just Kids, and Jerry Saltz Seeing Out Louder...

It's raining here...

Lina Rennell wool "sheepskin" blanket at Beklina.

Hudson Bay Point Blanket (new) and Jonathan Adler fruit pillows at Toast. (Of course, look for the vintage versions of this blanket at fleas and ebay!)

So more wonderful blankets...

Kitchen shelf and hang out couch...

Newest furniture experiments... It's been too wet to have the outdoor lounge area, so I thought we might like it in the kitchen.

Surfing Cowboys blankets

I am sort of obsessing over these blankets right now. They remind me of blankets that keep you warm on the couch after traveling down to Baja with you making the perfect picnic spot on the beach and wrapping up cold post surf bodies to watch the sunset in. Family heirlooms... Here is the description via Surfing Cowboys website: The patterns and color combinations are original designs by a local California artisan inspired by his youth in West Coast beach towns, and his travels around the world. The incredibly soft, sweater-quality merino wool is spun and hand-dyed in New Zealand by experienced experts. And finally, the wool is then sent to craftspeople in Oaxaca, Mexico who have been weaving these traditional blankets for generations.
