Fresh Linen & Burlap Pillows

I've just finished stuffing our latest custom-made pillows with down. If you know me you know I love linen and there's nothing quite like a crisp white linen pillow. These are big double-ruffle box pillows with tie-backs and they're so fun to decorate with - they're sassy and crisp and a perfect look year round but particularly spring and summer. Here they are mixed with our latest burlap pillows. The newest one is the French rooster "Le coq".

Point Loma Garden Walk held last week

Here are a few photos from the Point Loma Garden Walk held last weekend. The 8th Annual, it's always a huge success due to very giving & fun women that make up the Dana Unit of Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary. I love being a part of it. The weather was more than perfect and everyone got to experience a little of what Sunset Cliffs has to offer.

This planted container won my heart. Positioned so simply on a window sill of one of the earliest homes in the Sunset Cliffs area. It says it all, doesn't it?

My friends, Cindy and Amanda (mother & daughter team) with their uniquely planted iron pieces. Most of their plants are heirloom. I know the maidenhair fern is fourth generation from Cindy's grandmother. So beautiful and hearty, our garden attendees love it!
One of the best cottage gardens in all of Point Loma - the Briers' home. They're the greatest family and Calvin, who is a landscape & waterscape architect by trade, did his home justice. It's welcoming.
This is their backyard.

In this beautiful garden, the homeowner prepared fresh berries on a whimsical, garden table setting. We wanted to sit down and spend the afternoon there.
Another great house who's owner is a Master Gardener. She has two compost bins, very large ones, and has never bought soil for her gardens in over four years. I was amazed by her - I need to take one of her classes she offers.
Roses with a view of the ocean. Life is good.
