" Three Little Bird's sitting by my door step "
What great karma today ! I found a bird nest up high on the trellis on my porch and inside were three little bird's . No joke ! That's my favorite song by Bob Marley telling the world that every little thing is gonna be all right . I get a phone a call from Shop Around The Corner where I have a booth that I am selling vintage rock shirt's in . Some one was interested in my Bob Marley shirt . Ya I do believe everything is gonna be all right .
I decided well then I should celebrate and go thrift store hunting . Today's find's were a Johnny Cash t-shirt , a vintage Donald Duck shirt for the kid in me a three very cool vintage books , Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward , Angel , Her name is Barbara by Randall Riese and The History of Popular Culture ...since 1815 By Norman Cantor and Michael Werthman ... I just love cool vintage .
I am suffice to say that it is a successful week of hard work and creativity , necklaces hand made by me , designed my booth and added my vintage rock t-shirt's to my collection , of rock's and thing's . I new it was going to be good day when the three little birds who were sitting by my door step singing sweet song's of melodies pure and true " This is my message to you oo hoo . Don't worry bout a thing cause every little thing is gonna be all right .

A day at the beach meet's Estate Sale and a BBQ !
The guys were up and out and headed towards Palm Spring's early Saturday morning and since I rarely get the text from my good friend Micaela that usually leads us on a hike , estate sale , or some type of new adventure that is always new and exciting . I decided to take advantage and go to Malibu for a much needed beach break . I always come back inspired and wired with fresh ideas . It was not as warm as I expected so I walked around a bit checked out the latest in bohemian chic , satisfied my pallet with yummy fish taco's at Howdy's . I couldn't figure out why they are now serving up sushi with a Mexicali flavor when Nobu is right there . Then it dawned on me I was meaning to eat at the Fish Grill and forgot . To late and it was pretty yummy anyway . Now that my stomach was no longer growling I headed straight for my beach fix sat on my sarong and watched the many surfers enjoying riding the waves .
It was time to hit the hwy back home . I love the drive home as the view is gorgeous both way's . No traffic and all was clear for a smooth ride home . It was around 5:00 a rare time to find an Estate Sale that is open and still has stuff worth buying I was already in the hood . It was like Micaela assigned the Estate Sale God's to stay open for Til . I even maneuvered my car into the front of the house . It was a nice surprise and while I love hitting a good sale with Micaela I couldn't resist this one she was with me in spirit for sure and she would loved this one . A coincidence or synchronicity the guy running the Estate Sale was from Downey and a Warren graduate my High school rival from my Downey days . I did not leave this sale empty handed I bought 3 vintage albums , 3 vintage motocross magazines and 2 very cool hats . I left with smile happy for taking the leap after all this is my journey I am on anyway .
Stopped by Jan's on my way home a neighbor and good friend . Good friends love to feed me and who am I to argue . I must look hungry or something . You can't drink on an empty stomach and food goes well with a cold drink especially at a BBQ so I ate . Did I mention that Jan is good in the kitchen gotta love her Lemon Fig Jam . Marries well with crackers , Bree and a glass of red wine . Ya I am still dreaming about that last jar she made me . I must say it was a nice evening with friends even though I admit I did crash the Rosser's BBQ . At least I got to see Jan and Dave's grand baby who was not a happy camper but in good hands . Good food , good friends and now it was time to go home . Wow it was long day and boy was I ready to hit my head on a very comfy pillow but not before my much deserved cocktail ya you know the one I love on the rocks ... love always and Cheer's Til .
