Good-bye Summer!

Blogless friend K and I decided to say good-bye to summer by driving over the hill to the beach. Here's the view from Zelda's in Capitola where we enjoyed a yummy breakfast.

After strolling the villiage we decided to drive up the coast to Half Moon Bay where, hey, there's a yarn shop. Kudos to muggle K for going in with me to have a look around. It's a cute store with lots of Debbie Bliss and Mountain Colors and a great kids button selection but I managed to leave empty handed.

And the end to a perfect day is a near perfect cheeseburger at Kirks Steakburgers.

I also finished my last bear on Friday so that's five bears for the Mother Bear Project:

At 8:22 PM, IrishGirlieKnits said...: I love Capitola!! So glad you had a great day! And Half Moon Bay is such a cute little town (that's my territory too! So close..so close!). Fengari has cute stuff...but I can see how you left empty-handed...just a tad pricey, huh?

Love the bears!!

At 6:49 AM, Bezzie said...: Awww...I love that little tu-tu bear and I'm not really a pinky chi-chi girl!

Beautiful view!

Enjoy the last of the 3-day weekend.

At 11:35 AM, Virtuous said...: I love the concept of the Mother Bear Project and must participate in it soon!

You bears are too cute! With their outfits and everthing!!! :o)

How you left a yarn store without buying yarn is beyond me. Your self control is amazing.
At 12:53 AM, Carolyn said...: Leaving a yarn store empty-handed? Is that a first :0
I love your bears, they are just so cute. They're going to make the children who receive them so happy.
