balboa in the fall

Back to California for market this week and spent some time enjoying all the lovely signs of Fall.  We went to Roger's Garden, my favorite nursery.  It is such a happy place.  They were making these amazing pumpkin planters.  So fun.  I wish we had a nursery like this in Phoenix!

As usual, I love the herb boxes.  Come out to the Willows to pick up one of our boxes to plant your own mini garden! Ask for Bev and I will be happy to share all my great tips!

And, of course, everyone had their pumpkins and all their fall decorations out all around the island.  I think it's going to be hard to come home again...

So excited Fall is finally here!

beds and books

Beds and books.

Two of my favorite things in life.

I really think your bed should be the coziest and happiest place in your home.  After a long day, you deserve to crawl into the very best linens and pillows on your bed.  

And there is nothing better on a rainy day like today (in Phoenix! yay!) than to sit at home with your coffee and look through a beautiful book.  

Heck, even crawl back into that bed with a lovely book today!

Come into the Willows to spoil yourself (or someone you love) with the very best bedding from Matteo and Bella Notte to Pom Pom and Pinecone Hill.  

Or grab one of our beautiful books on design and home decor or recipes and baking.  They really do make the happiest and very best gifts!

See you soon!

We also have some amazing slips and nightgowns for you to wear in that cozy bed of yours!
