darlings
we’re Exhausted (in a very good way).
we drove…….*looksvaguelyintothemiddledistance*…….well, a long way, anyway
and there were lovely things to see, as one might expect.
a carousel (or as the Americans call them – a Merry-Go-Round) and one of those whirly-fans.
an Italian baroqueness of a chandelier – we adore a chandelier – at Victori Ana (read it quickly, it took us a few moments) in Montrose (no website! if you want to visit here’s the RL address:
2311 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA
an exceedingly Pretty “home accents” shop with french soaps, scented candles and decorative place settings – we’re going to try and persuade george to come with us in November – they take a week – and three members of staff – to Decorate For The Holidays – we received a personal invite (you’re so clever, yes, the chandelier-gazing did it, darlings).
we popped in to the friends-of-littlerock-library book sale (ok, we drove 100 miles seduced by the concept of driving on pearblossom highway – not a pear or a blossom for miles until we saw these gorgeous blowsy roses in a jam jar). an Amusing Amount of Georgette Heyer for sale (somebody clearly just went cold turkey in littlerock – or received an e-reading-digital-device for their Birthday).
talking of home accents shops (which we were a few moments ago – the caption with the chandelier if you missed it) – we’ve Always been Impressed by how Nicely they wrap everything at Yolk in silver lake.
so we decided to ask for a Demo.
yes, we filmed it.
come on.
you Knew we would.
impressive, right?
and the whole alternative nail polish shades?
Very Big in Los Angeles right now.
*ironiclooktocamera*
that *might* well be the first time we’ve ever mentioned Nail Polish here.
fancy that.
Dearest G
Now one does love a library sale… but Georgette Heyer in that heat!?!
The Regency Bucks must have been perspiring most awfully.
Yours ever

much wilting.
The library book sales in Sierra Madre are full of treasures… I picked up a beautiful hard bound copy from the fifties of Brillat-Savarin’s Physiology of Taste, so beautiful I ended up giving it to a foodie friend! Although I could have used the wrapping lesson as I am known for handing people presents in plain brown paper bags.
*smiling*
yes, hence why We took the wrapping lesson too ;-)
good to know re. Sierra Madre!
Perfect! Right down to the crow.
*smiling*
thank you!
