“At the bottom of every frozen heart there is a drop or two of love―just enough to feed the birds.” ―  Henry Miller ,  Tropic of Cancer This past October I was in Napa Valley where my boyfriends parents own a vineyard, I had the pleasure of walking down the rows of vineyards,smelling the grapes.. and it reminded me how much I always enjoyed walking in fields, ( now I am from the midwest )  its so peaceful and calming.  At the Inglenook Winery. I fell in love with Zoetropes here. Zoetrope It is rumored that Inglenook winery is haunted,and you know how I love a good ghost story.  haunted-wineries One of the oldest houses in Napa Valley.  I stayed in the cute town of Calistoga while in Napa Valley. The town is big on mineral bathes/spa's,next time I visit I think I should get a mud bath.  Mysterious family portrait in the guest house.. "Isabella" The air is like a draught of win...

We had originally planned a picnic by the ocean but we ended up in Bodega Bay to see the film locations for the Birds, lunch could wait...  It was a beautiful day and I was really thrilled to see the school house that was used for the movie, Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorites.  To make things even better, there is a cute little antique shop right across the road from the school house. In the antique store across from the school house.  Me in front of the house.  Bird Curtains! love!! I had bought this dress the previous day in San Francisco at Relic Vintage, I knew it would be perfect to wear for a day at the ocean side.  Beauty.
