Our Little Corner of the World...Visiting Capitola, CA...

So...

In November of last year,

we visited with our friends Steve and Sharron in Capitola, on the Northern California coast.

We went there for the Sea Glass Festival...

OK...I went there for the Sea Glass Festival!

TheChief went along for a fun weekend with our friends!!!

It just so happens that the Plein Air Festival was there the same weekend.

And given that the weather was a bit drizzly...we went...

Now...you might think there's nothing particularly special about this painting...

other than it's done very well, and the artist is a local artist...

 ...guess what was just around the corner from our friend's house?

Cool, eh?

So in our wanderings on the bluff where our friends live...

We visited an open house for a small house in their neighborhood...with a spectacular view!!!

The house was a little two bedroom, teeny-tiny house...

sweet...old California bungalow style...

...updated kitchen...

...nice...

...did I mention small???

Take a look at the view from their back yard...

 

...and from their deck above the garage type in-law room/apt. 

Any guesses how much it was on the market for???

 

Capitola is a favorite spot for surfers...

Just down the bluff walk from the little 2 bedroom house for sale...

My favorite pic from our walk!

Oh...you might be asking what about the Sea Glass Festival...

I was expecting a cool outdoor setting...with booths and cool stuff...

...they had the booths and cool stuff...

...but it was inside in a pretty boring (as in non-photogenic) setting.

I did find a gorgeous Sea Glass pendant for my silver neck collar...

and a cool long necklace.

 Now...if I was a good historian or jewelry buff I could tell you 

exactly how old the kind of crusty sea glass piece is on the necklace...

it's Roman glass...from, like, one or two thousand years ago!
