Morning in Pismo Beach!

I feel so blessed to live on the Central Coast of California in San Luis Obispo. I am guilty of taking this for granted from time to time, but going to Pismo Beach for breakfast this weekend reminded me just how lucky I am. Here are some pictures from the morning out there!

The Work of Tricia Nanaumi!

Until I can finally be able to do this sort of thing on my own, I am going to have to live vicariously through people like Tricia Nanaumi. She is very talented and I can't wait to see what she will come up with next! She used patterns by {Amy Butler} .

Make Books All Day!

If I could, I would seriously make books all day long. There is something incredibly therapeutic about it that I cannot put into words. The first book here is a journal I had made for myself a while back and the second is a photo album for a friend. Both are done using the perfect binding method, with the beautiful recycled paper and book cloth I picked up from Paper Source, but if you are in San Luis Obispo, I recommend checking out the great finds at {Paper Sky}., which is pictured above - courtesy of {Cameron Ingalls Inc.} - a local photographer.

Central Coast Sunsets

I have been living in San Luis Obispo for almost 5 years now and cannot put into words, the sheer beauty of some of the sunsets I have been lucky enough to experience. The first photo was just taken in downtown SLO, but head out to the beaches of Pismo, Avila, or Montana de Oro and you will be blown away. The second two pictures were taken along highway 41 on my way to Fresno a while back. Boy was I glad I had my camera with me that time!
