ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHoPPing ~ CaLiFoRniA's GOLD COUNTRY!*!*!


I LoVe Being *~OUT WEST~*
Having lived about a third of my life there...
It's been about 3 years now since we've been back to California...
I didn't realize how much I've have missed those 
**Cool Dreamy Nites** 
with the AwEsoMe Ocean Air drifting inland...
Green Lush California is now in it's 5th year of
drought...   

 
 SUTTER CREEK, California is such a lovely little town...
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 
with larger Cities like Sacramento & San Francisco
 somewhat near by... 
~*My FaVoRite Shop is THE ANTIQUE GARDENER*~



 Aimee ~ Owner of THE ANTIQUE GARDENER
"Gets What LoVe of A NATURAL TIME-WORN PaTiNa Is"
Aimee's Shop abounded with 
Rusty... Crusty... ChiPPy ViNtaGe Finds!!!
BeSt Vignette/Displays as well...



Outdoor Patio Displays



Lots of ALL the things I LoVe!!!
FaB Lighting... Galvanized Containers... Architectural SaLvaGe...



 **Frog-Husband**
On-the-Porch, by the entrance of
THE ANTIQUE GARDENER
Sutter Creek, California



 Tomorrow's Heirloom's
in Sutter Creek, California
Is like a "little Anthropologie"
My ShoPPing Bag was quite full as I exited THIS STORE!!!
~Sweet Frog Husband~
knows my weakness for "Birdies" ~ and bought me this
over-the-top fab BiRd NeCkLaCe!*!*!



 Having once owned a Bake Shop in Boulder City, Nevada,
 I ALWAYS LoVe a Good Slice of P*I*E...
*BUFFALO CHIPS*
in Sutter Creek, California 
Had Eye-Catching Homemade Pies 
 that tasted as good as they looked!!!
The addition of "Vanilla Bean Ice Cream"
 from McConnell's in Santa Barbara, California,
 was the perfect "go-with" ~ **Y*U*M**




 READY-FOR-LUNCH!*!*!
Soooooo Glad we stopped in this itty-bitty town of Amador City, CA
AMaZiNg Architecture ~ Especially Inside & On the Back Patio
 The IMPERIAL HOTEL Dates from around the late 1800's...


 We opted to sit outside on the patio of the 
IMPERIAL HOTEL
~**GOOD FOOD**~
 and very pleasant waitress...
I can only imagine the ambiance at night with the string lights on
 against the wood and stone surrounds...


 Our lunch table was just below this fabulous 
naturally time-worn flower painting...
It was almost like we were in a "grotto setting" with the tall 
stone wall behind us...



 A few ChiPPy-WHiTe Sightings
on-the-trip...



I always get so inspired from traveling!!!

IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD

WeLcoMe A*U*G*U*S*T...



WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO????
The beginning of August is often "bittersweet" for me...
 
A time of reflection ~ "Did I make the most of my Summer"???
A time of looking forward ~  Magical FALL is Just Around the Corner!!!

Hints of Fall are cropping up everywhere...
Fall Clothes are slowly popping up in the stores...
Fall Catalogs are coming in the mail...
Mention of School Starting...
The Yarrow crop is ready to pick...
My hydrangeas are just about ready to turn...
The bittersweet berries need just about another month yet...
The Chinese Lantern pods have quite a ways to go...
The pumpkin patch is looking hopeful...
It's staying dark longer in the morning...
The grass is quite "dewy" early-on...
ALL THESE SUBTLE CHANGES TAKING PLACE!!!

SO SAVOR THE SUMMER
 BEFORE IT'S GONE!!!
