bonfires on the beach

this year, the 4th of july was one of the most magical of all. the day was perfect spent with lovely friends at their amazing beach house ...eating, eating, eating...and laughing, playing games.. and the beach at night was like out of a movie set... as far as your eye could see... bonfires on the beach... it gave us the chills... true american bonding.. campfires and friends...it doesn't get any better than that.

relaxation...

there is nothing i love more than being at the beach. 

i love to roll down the windows as we approach and having that first wave of air hit your face... it is intoxicating! 

i love the way you feel when you are there, relaxed and at peace with your life. enjoying time with friends, preparing wonderful meals, taking long naps and watch movies... pure heaven.

pure americana

here is a glimpse of what will be posted this week on 1stdibs.com. i love the 4th of july, it has always been one of my favorite holidays. everyone in america celebrates together, people are happy, it is summertime and life seems easier. this vintage beauty shines as being pure americana... 48 stars, wool and handsewn... mounted on french vintage linen and custom framed.

 happy 4th everyone.... i am off to the beach... and will surely have some delightful shots along the way...stay tuned! x pam

refreshing

i know i have been raving about blue and white but i cannot seem to get enough and either can our customers! it seems as though everything we make up at red ticking, people react. it must be the fact that it is refreshing, clean and classic. just love the mix of pieces here....

the great northwest

i love exploring...everywhere and everything. i get so inspired when i travel. this summer, i want to explore more of the northwest and really see it. here is the first of many amazing views... the skagit valley... breath taking views of pure farmland.
