tasting menu
Swanson Vineyards‘ new Sip Shoppe is at the top of my list for our next Napa trip. First, we’ll check out the red and white stripey shoppe + its wares (Andy Spade is involved, so you know it’s going to be good, and I’m dying to see the stationery that singer Vanessa Carlton has designed exclusively for the shoppe). Then, we’ll relax in the courtyard with a glass of wine. A most satisfying way to spend an afternoon.
For more Napa info, don’t miss the Swanson blog, Alexis’ Napa, written by Alexis Swanson Traina. It’s full of insider tips for the region as well as more about Swanson Vineyards (not to mention , illustrated by Jean-Philippe Delhomme).

I have to track down this fomato card, stat. There are so many people I need to send it to, starting with myself.

I am head over heels in love with the Petite Alma aesthetic. It’s sweet, but not too, and the perfectly girly escape from my usual world of snips, snails & puppy dog tails. (More like baseball, soccer and iPad nowadays.) I devour the updates from the ladies of Petite Alma at their blog, and am eagerly awaiting the e-shop, launching later this fall.

I think this snail paperweight would make a delightful addition to my desk. Darling. From Ben’s Garden.
