Greetings from Napa Valley.

“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. 




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.

The air is like a draught of wine.
The undertaker cleans his sign,
The Hull express goes off the line,
When it's raspberry time

It Happned One Night

  Franklin Park Canyon is one of the locations where It Happened One Night filmed, you can visit the pond where they swam across even! This is one of my favorite movies and I love the Hitchhiking scene,  I decided to pay homage to good ol Claudette Colbert which happens to be my Husbands number one old Hollywood crush. Photos were taken at Franklin Canyon Park,many movies have been filmed here, its really a great park 7 miles from Hollywood but it makes one feel you are in the country :) My Dress is from the 1930s, and is absolutely one of my favorites in my closet! I hope you enjoyed the photos,blogger was giving me some trouble so I apologize for the jumpy layout..  Photos taken by my husband and edited by me.

Hollywood sign..

Image
Nick and I hiked up to the Hollywood sign, the views were amazing!! I could not help but wonder how Peg Enwistle climbed those hills at night so she could jump to her death… the poor dear :( While the stars on the sidewalk are now an everyday normal thing for me.. the hollywood sign is always a reminder you are living in one of the most famous places in the world.   As a midwest transplant I admit I had some of the stereotypical ideas in my head about LA before I moved here, and many are proving me wrong. My goal is to show people the real Los Angeles not what you see on TV. The start of the hike. On top of the world!
