Seasons Greetings

Yesterday was haircut day for us at Salon Bella in Mission Hills. Kathy has been cutting our hair for years. She is the best! The crew there really know how to dress the salon up for the holidays. Monty loves to come along and get in the spirit of the season.

Salon Bella is on Lewis Street which is a charming spot any time of

year, but it is especially festive now.

Jimmy and Valerie Ferrari are the artistic force on Lewis Street. And their stores are wonderful expressions of their creativity.

Their shops include Salon Bella,

Le Bel-Age, Valerie's exciting Boutique,

and With Love, Jimmy's paperie, gift treasure trove,

and the best card shop in town.

I had a wonderful time with my new camera taking it all in.

The Art of the Holiday

For the 4th year, Burt and I are participating in The Art of the Holiday, at the Fallbrook Art Center gallery.

Fallbrook is a charming village about 60 miles north of San Diego, and a delightful place to explore at any time of year. Main Street gets all dressed up for the holidays, reminiscent of Currier and Ives, with planned festivities, tailor made for kids of all ages.

Who wouldn't love to take a horse drawn carriage or wagon ride down Main Street, and of course see Santa! This is a quality art show, not to be missed if you are in the area from now until Christmas. There is also a great cafe behind the gallery that serves yummy food, coffee and delicious desserts!
