A New Year

Happy new year, everyone!

We spent the holiday celebrating on the coast, and by celebrating I mean drinking wine, reading, watching Animal Planet and falling asleep before midnight.  Party animals we are not.

Though, waking up without a hangover to a sunny morning on the coast is a beautiful day to start the new year.  I was hoping to spot a whale, it being "whale week",  from our windows overlooking the ocean at the Ester Lee but no whales did we see, though dozens of sea lions were frolicking in the surf.

Today is also the 5 year anniversary of the day I opened my Etsy shop, so I had something more to celebrate as well.   Five years on and I'm still excited to get to my sewing machine every day and make something new.  Thanks to all my lovely customers that have supported me through the years!  I could not have done it without you.

We ended our getaway by watching the sunset at Cape Overlook, a beautiful ending to a wonderful day and a pretty good start to 2014.
