All Dressed Up

There's nothing like getting all done up for a night at the ballet to get me into the holiday spirit. We went to see Mathew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty at the LA Music Center during it's short run. It was a little strange, like all his work, and completely marvelous. 

Handmade Holiday Bazaar & Ballyhoo!

Our Bazaar is during the Winter Wine Walk, so you can sip while you shop. Click {here} for more info.

weekend wanderings

I didn't make it out of town this weekend, but I did wander a bit in my own backyard. Here are some quickies from my downtown evening meanderings.

Out to Breakfast

I do so love going out to breakfast when Mr. C and I can find the time. We have a favorite spot, Cafe Nouveau. It's just down the street from our lil' Ventura bungalow and we can sit on the patio and eat waffles and mimosas.

Do you have a favorite breakfast spot? Is it near to your home or far and what do you always eat when you go?

make my heart sing

Raise your hand if you've seen Where the Wild Things Are.

Ian and I saw it last Sunday in Santa Barbara's lovely Arlington Theater. We ate Red Vines and held hands and Oohed and Aahed. Perfection.

Ready, Set, Go Again!

We arrived home Saturday after midnight (so technically Sunday) and were on the road again by Thursday. Now we find ourselves looking out our hotel window at that gates of San Francisco's China Town. I'm so glad we took our friend Tanya's advice and decided to take a breath of the fresh sea air some where in our own downtown before we left again. It was even her idea to wear the giant sunnies.

Tomorrow will be our one year anniversary. Any ideas of what we should do in the city? We're up for (almost) any kind of adventure.

rendezvous at the Riviera

We're off to see our friends Swing Cheese play at the Riviera Bistro. They are a wonderful group of gypsy jazz men and a sweet treat to the ears. I got to thinking about gypsy jazz and the late but so great Django Reinhardt. I love the way he was depicted in the Triplets of Bellville...
