The Queen's Domaine ~

As we wound our way through the town and then country roads of Port Costa, suddenly it felt like we had been transported to the French countryside


Unfortunately, because it was Monday, all the little shops were closed


including the cafe




but we had a very special appointment with the Grande Dutchess of Paper, the Queen of Glitter. . . Who am I speaking of you ask? Well, Wendy Addison of course!

Her beautiful book, Theatre of Dreams

Ben sifting and sorting...









The pictures tell the story of what a magical world hers is...and she was the most gracious host, allowing me to take pictures, and ask endless questions. She even read her new book to us {swoon,} a compilation of her sketches, set in a hand printed and bound book, which tells a beautiful love story {in poem.}

For all of you who have made the trek, you know her fairy theatre is the piece de la resistance, she gladly gave us a show! Of course we left with many trinkets, but spending time with Wendy in her magical studio was truly the greatest gift we carried home!

Thanks for coming along on this picture journey ~ come back tomorrow for one more post of my fabulous Cali trip, to my favorite "chick mafia" shoping in NoCal!

Have a wonderful day ~
