Having a few laughs and had to share this vintage @sunsetmag I own. California life in December 1950 meant some odd food and adding a fireplace to make a $12,000 house look like a $15,000 one ( because apparently there was a difference !) Some interesting ideas for wrapping those holiday food gifts like giving brioche away in a useful shovel 😂 and putting those spritz cookies on a piece of corrugated plastic.. it’s not just for awnings! The airline ads are funny too - just 9.5 hours to Hawaii from California, yikes and with all those smokers. No thank you. So many more interesting ads- go to Arizona to stop being a ‘paleface’ and other now inappropriate racial slurs I can’t mention. Giving railroad certificates as gifts and electric blankets were the ultimate holiday luxury to receive. I love these windows into another time and hard to believe that was almost 70 years ago. @keplersbooks has loads more of these original magazines for sale. I think they bought the stock when Sunset closed its spot in Menlo Park. #vintagecalifornia #californiachristmas #midcentury #sunsetmagazine

A fun ombré spritzer brought to a tennis gathering yesterday by my friend E. It’s even prettier in person- and easy. It’s equal parts bubbly + OJ + a splash of pom pomegranate juice on top. Love the @anthropologie coupes from my friend Ani. 💗 A fun girlfriend’s drink for your holiday gatherings. #holidayentertaining #spritzers #anthropologiehome

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. Looks like we are finally drying out a bit here in Northern Cal! I have got my tree inside the house finally and today I’m having fun putting little bits of evergreen around the house. Does anybody else do this? I think this is an English tradition and I love it. Smells wonderful too. Listening to holiday music..I’m off to tick off a ton of things on the old list. Wishing you all a beautiful week. ❤️ #californiahome #holidayhomestyle #decemberincalifornia #thecollectedlook

My littlest turned 18 today! I can hardly believe how fast the years have flown with Griffin. He has been adventurous from day one and I can’t wait to see where his path leads him. 🥰 Senior year is already going too fast.

🎄Started listening to Christmas music today! This was Santana Row last weekend - empty on a Saturday night.. maybe it was the terrible weather. I had my sleeping bag coat on so I was good. We saw Ford vs. Ferrari - which we liked. Today I made a little video on tips for not over buying and wrapping ideas. Kind of scared to share it. We will see if I have the guts. Hope your December is off to a good start!😍 #decemberincalifornia #santanarow #michelinman

This picture says it all about our weekend! I am making buttered noodles for lunch today. My mom used to make us them on rainy days as kids. 🧡 Hobbes is meditating by the fire and I am loving the sound of rain! Stay cozy friends.
