2006-02-13 * California Dreamin'

Despite being out here for a few years, it amazes me the way that San Francisco goes from this:

to this

in what seems to be a blink of the eye in February. I seldom feel like I live in California (especially in the summer when it is 50 and foggy), but I definitely did this weekend.

Of course spring means spring fever, which in my case incites a deep desire to shop and drink cold, sweet, milky drinks. But it also means feeling inspired and excited about new ideas.

New idea the first: a "spring line" of handbags based on a trip to the beach! This has been percolating in my brain, as you can see from early efforts:

The Mermaid Bag

And crystallised this weekend when I finished this:

The Limeade Bag, which I love, and which reminds me of limeade (my favorite summer drink), and popsicles and beach umbrellas. So, I'll be thinking and dreaming beachy thoughts, and also busting out the gocco to make a new belle epoque label, possibly something involving a seahorse...
