The Fair is a Veritable Smorgasbord

Ever since going to the fair earlier this week I have not been able to get that Charlotte's Web song out of my head. You know the one the goose sings, to convince Templeton the rat to go to the fair. I had to watch the clip of the song on youtube and now I'm singing the whole song over and over in my head. So, we went to the San Diego County fair on Friday and although I didn't ride any rides (I'm too scared). I did stuff my face, corn dogs, cherry lemonade, ice cream in a waffle cone...chocolate covered bacon. I was a tad disappointed in the chocolate covered bacon. I thought they would take a slab of bacon and dip it in chocolate, but the chocolate to bacon ration was all wrong, too much chocolate, not enough bacon. It just ended up tasting like salty chocolate. Although I didn't ride the rides I took tons of pictures of them, especially the ferris wheel. The ferris wheel terrifies me, but I find it so visually entrancing. I rode a ferris wheel once a while back, I started to have a panic attack and had to be taken off after the first turn. I think It's time for a second attempt, I plan to go to the Ventura County Fair in early August and once again try to conquer my fear. Anyway, I went a little picture crazy, but I love all the colors at the fair, so I couldn't help myself.

...And now the pics I took with my phone.

(Well Except for this one. I couldn't have taken this picture.)

Wedding-ding-ding!

Kate Moss wedding dress and veil are absolutely gorgeous! I cannot get over her beautiful bohemian 1920's veil. If I had that veil I would wear it everywhere. Dress and veil are both custom made by Galliano...le sigh.


love, love, love!!

Animal House

Yesterday for the first time ever Cliff went to the San Diego Zoo. I hadn't been there in about 8 years and I rode the sky boxes for the first time so it was a bit of an adventure of the 2 of us. It was a lovely day that began with brunch at Analog, cheesy tater-tots and endless mimosas are always a great start to the day. When we got home we were absolutely exhausted, the zoo has tons of hill and it felt like we walked all of them.













All in all it was a pretty sweet day.

Catching a Dream

I've always been entranced by the story and beauty of dream catchers. It is believed that dream catchers change a persons dreams. Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through . . . Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day. Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper. It was also said that they "caught any harm that might be in the air as a spider's web catches and holds whatever comes in contact with it."
I'm going to start making my own dreamcatcher this weekend, just need some inspiration.
Here's to sweet dreams...
