Foodie Goodie

You would think they'd rhyme. But no.
They're cute tho....
Oh Christmas tree...o christmas tree...I'm a gonna eat you.......

from this post on Apartment Therapy......

Here's me...waiting for the Persimmons.....

I ate a billion of them when I lived in California because it is a State Law in the Golden State that every yard has to have a tree....so they were rather common....
but uncommonly delicious......

after 3 days stuck inside because of The Huge Snow of the Northwest (2" of snow)
I bundled up in layers and went to go buy some.........food.
I was out of Bloody Mary Mix.

70s Italian Waffle stompers, patagonia leggings, wool thi-hi socks, short black sweater dress, 70s Harris Tweed jacket, gray scarf and a cream mohair beret. striped mitts....made by me......these are my everyday, all day pair.

I yam what I yam...

but you are sweet........potato.

hey November, you were 70 degrees at the first of the month, remember? well, I do. I knew you'd be back to your old tricks...freezing me..and with ...snow?

This is late November....acorns..and dry leaves.

another November thing....waiting for my persimmons to ripen.  taps taps taps taps taps.......baking a pumpkin pie...(yes I did that today)

so here we are....Sweet potatoes in the can, and a real ripe Yam!

November........I'm already nostalgic....

for September!
darn you weird November sunshine....
70 degrees. wow.
you don't fool me tho. I've been at my sewing machine putting together the first of many pairs of mitts I'll make this fall and  winter.

I gathered up some acorns and leaves....and the tawny tones inspired me to make these.......

Just added to my that yountville girl shop

wooly stripes of navy, forest green, tree brown and camel with wine...

I made them in different sizes...used the knit upside down and added some vintage buttons for interest.

Cashmere too ? yes. 

Cold ? How about a jacket....Vintage 70s style ! nylon windbreaker slick fabric is packed full of natural goosedown. Goosedown is what you want....don't settle for a modern duck feather jacket. Duck feathers don't have the same insulating power as down....Tempco was a high-end brand back in the day. You know...if it was good back then...it's good now!
Quality lasts....and is worth recycling!
