Five Things

October 12th, 2012

{Magical dusk at the Petit Ermitage pool}

Yesterday we arrived in Northern California and were greeted with brisk temperatures and abundant fog – it’s so good to be home. Tomorrow is the last stop of my book tour in San Francisco (details here) and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there! The next few days should be relaxed – catching up on TV shows, a trip to the California Academy of Sciences, spending time with old friends, and enjoying my dad’s cooking. Have a great weekend.

    Is that Le Petit Hermitage in L.A. or are there others?
    Beautiful Geode Doorway! If you get to L.A. check out Kelly Wearstler’s new shop here in West Hollywood on Melrose…don’t worry if you get there after it’s closed…the door handle is worth the visit!!
