Shop love

My Sunday afternoon: Lunch with a dear friend at Milo & Olive in Santa Monica and a bit of wandering around the General Store in Venice Beach. The General Store is a darling shop that has an amazing mix of clothing, plants (want all of them), books, jewelry and other treasures that will make the best prezzies. Definitely heading back there.

San Diego ....

On Sunday, I spent a good part of the afternoon walking around Old Town San Diego, and visited a couple of interesting historic sites. One was the Whaley House, designated an official Haunted House by the United States Commerce Department -- I'll post photos of that soon -- and the other is the Casa de Estudillo. It is an 1800s adobe house with 13 rooms. I love the inner courtyard and its garden with fountain. So peaceful. The other photos below are of the Rust General Store. It's a little foodies paradise and I wish I lived closer so I can go back. Part II coming tomorrow.
