Corner News-Let’s Go to the Beach!

Hello everyone!  And welcome to another edition of the Corner News.  I had a great week this past week and wanted to share a mini vacation with you.

So, living in the central valley of California, we live about 2 hours from the coast.  And being that it has been so hot in California, Haley, my friend Bekah, and myself decided to take a beach trip.  We decided that we would drive my little cube the 2 hours and end up at Morro Bay.

We started our trip with some lunch at Bayside Cafe which is next to the marina.  It was a bit cloudy and cool when we arrived, but the sun was out when we left.  And of course, I started with the clam chowder in a bread bowl.  Yum!

We then drove into town and started shopping.  We started at a small shop that is like a thrift store kind of thing.  I don’t know what it is called exactly, but it is fun to look through.  I found this really cool chair in the store that was for sale.  I thought that it was absolutely adorable.

Next we went into the Garden Gallery.  It is a beautiful store that has a lot of decorations and of course, gardening stuff.  I found this really cool California pillow that I considered buying, but it didn’t really match my decor.

I also found this cute piggy bank that I had to take a picture of.

As we wandered down the Embarcadero, we came to a small knick knack shop with a lot of random and cool things.  We found their mask collection, and had to take a picture.

We finally made it to the beach where it was a beautiful day.  The sun was out, and we were able to sit on the beach without being cold or blown away.  Look at this weather!

Now, one of Haley and my favorite things to do when we go places is take pictures.  So, of course we were modeling for each other and taking lots of pretty pictures.  Like this one!

After sitting on the beach for a while, we decided to make our way to San Luis Obispo to go shopping.  But, we also went to Woodstock’s Pizza.  If you are ever in the San Luis or Davis areas of California, I highly recommend going to Woodstock’s.  It is delicious and a good price for amazing pizza!  So, we had a pepperoni pizza and delicious cinnamon bread for dessert.  YUMMY!

And this concludes our beach trip.  Don’t worry, we are already planning our next trip and where to go.  And don’t worry, I will take plenty of pictures while we are there.    I hope you enjoyed seeing my mini vacation!

Happy Saturday to you! How has your week been? This was my first week off and it was busy! I thought I was supposed to be resting! The shelter we volunteer at is holding a yard sale, so Haley and I have been helping to set up. We have gone to the gym a couple of times and have been busy cleaning out the house of clutter. You should see the pile of boxes!! My mom and I will be having a yard sale too, so I have to get it done before then. While cleaning out, what do I do? Go shopping for more, of course!

This gold platter/plate was at the shelter yard sale so I snatched it up. I love the scalloped edge on it. I have already painted it and plan to add a base so it can be a stand for goodies. I think I will cut some scrapbook paper for the bottom and then I can change it out for whatever occasion I use it for.

I also picked up this cute sweatshirt from the shelter yard sale. Do you recognize the seagull from Finding Nemo? Mine, mine, mine! I made it onto a dog bed using the directions from Handimania.com. I figured since the dogs fight over who goes where, this was perfect for them!

I found this plant at Goodwill this week. Sorry for the bad color, but it reminded me of the beach and now I really want to go!! Hopefully I will get a day or two to go enjoy the sand and surf.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and see you on Monday!

Happy Saturday and Memorial Day Weekend! 3 days of summer fun! So glad to have an extra day to be home and then just 4 more days till summer vacation! I’m not excited at all. Can you tell!!

Some things I am enjoying now:

Summertime fruit! I love strawberries-all different ways! Just plain with a little sugar or all dressed up! Apricots are one of my favorites too!

Strawberry pizza! Mmmmm! My director bought us all individual ones for the May birthdays at work. There was a sugar cookie crust, whipped cream middle and then slathered in strawberries. It was delightful!

So many cute summer bags! I love the blue floral one in the middle, but the turquoise and white lace one is cute too!  These would be great for all the summer day trips we hope to make.

That’s it for now! Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend!

Hello everyone.  Apologies for no blog post yesterday.  I was studying for finals and it completely slipped my mind.

So…anyway.  Onto the corner news!

I am done with finals!  Hooray!  I can now spend the entire summer working and working on blog posts and getting rid of my terrible farmer’s tan.  Yeah!

And I am having another Posh Party tomorrow!  I’m having a lot of friends over and we are going to have a nice little get together.  Hopefully I can get more stuff posted and ready to sell.  I am excited to have friends over to just have fun and hang out.  It will be nice and relaxing to have people over.

So, that’s what has been and will be happening.  I hope that you all have a great weekend and I will post more about the party on Friday!

Hello everyone! This is a bit (lot) late today. We have been gone the last couple of nights and I woke up this morning with a sore throat. Probably from all the wind we have been having.

This is where we were last night. Our local Triple-A team won the National Championships last year, so we went to cheer them on. We ended up leaving a little early because of the wind and Lauren had to be to work early. They ended up losing, but I don’t think these games are too important yet.

I did get these great finds at Goodwill yesterday, along with a few other things. The paper organizer is an Isaac Misrahi from Target. I purchased it for only $1.99. I think it will be perfect for Lauren’s room along with the cute little polka-dot bucket.

That’s going to be it today. I will be back on Monday with a little coastal decor!
