Pop-Up
Although Monica closed her shop a couple of years ago, she still holds pop-up events now and then. One of them coincided with a time that both Megan and I were available, something that happens all too rarely, given her ever-changing night shifts and my never-ending day shifts.
Monica has recently been partnering with a friend who has access to unique vintage items, which are artfully mixed in with new things. Monica has not lost her touch in arranging things beautifully and creating a welcoming and comfortable space that inspires one to linger:
In the back, she set up a little bar, with infused water and delicious wines from the winery where she now works:
Since Megan was driving, I got to taste the wine, and it was really good. Megan and I are beginning to plot a trip to Monica’s winery and a couple of others inland in the next few weeks, before it gets boiling hot. Stay tuned on that.
I was unable to resist a little turquoise ceramic bird, which is quite at home at my office:
and a little pine-scented candle for home, because you know how I am about scented candles.
We had a wonderful time before heading back to Megan’s place for pizza and GirlTV(TM). It seemed like a long time since we had hung out, and we enjoyed every moment.
A YEAR AGO: A wonderful trip to the Valley.
FIVE YEARS AGO: The horrors of being crowned.
TEN YEARS AGO: A busy and fun weekend.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO: An Easter care package.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: Judging the rather degenerate contents of my recycling bin.
