Hometown Visit — original archive photograph

From the archive. Originally published January 11, 2013. Store details and prices, where mentioned, describe that time.

This is one of the homes on the street where I grew up in

Santa Monica, California. My best friend lived down the

block from me. Looks english, doesn’t it? Most of the homes

on this street were built in the thirties as in 1930s.

Looking inside Pom Pom interiors on Montana Avenue in

Santa Monica, California. It’s a few doors up from

Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Boutique.

We ate here at Rosti on Montana. Good food, good service, casual

and friendly place to have lunch.

The view from Adelaide Drive to the beach on Pacific Coast Highway.

When we were kids my best friend and I walked our dogs along this drive.

The view traveling to Malibu from Santa Monica.

Wouldn’t this be an awesome commute?

Peace in Malibu.

I bought this book at Zuma Moon boutique in

a little shopping mall across the street from Zuma

Beach which is north of Malibu on Pacific Coast

Highway. They are having a sale and I got 50%

off. This was a right find for me. The sale runs

thru January.

This is kind of a tease. The view was spectacular on this day.

Straight on is Pala Verdes Penisula and to the right behind

the third bush you can barely see Catalina Island.

Santa Monica Bay. The view returning to Santa Monica on

Pacific Coast Highway.

St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California

where my best firiend’s father died on the front steps

of a heart attack. Neither of us are catholics but

he was. It’s all decked out for Christmas.

I’m linking with Fiona’s Green Day

and My romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday

Know someone who would enjoy this?
