Let it Snow!

Wow! It's been raining a ton this week in northern California.  For once those weather guys were right! This has been a giant storm week for us; thunder, lighting, hail, wind, sleet, and yes, best of all, SNOW!  Since here in California we've been experiencing a drought, getting less and less rain and snow in the past few years, we welcome this change. 

One the best parts of living in the bay area is our location. We've got just about everything you could want in a half days' drive. One if the things I most enjoy doing during the winter season is snowboarding.  I love to sneak away any chance I get to Tahoe!  One of the best parts of this wet weather in the Bay Area is knowing we're only a short trip away from winter wonderland ( about a three hour drive) to Tahoe.  Getting out from behind the laptop or work table is soo important, the fresh air and beauty of nature is invigorating. The re-discovery of this magical white world each season never seems to get old.  I just love the quiet peacefulness I feel when I'm surounded by giant snowflakes covering all the pine trees.

I thought I would show you all a few recent pictures of my sister Robin, my boyfriend Clay, and I hitting the slopes!  I have to say we look pretty funny all bundled up in our snow clothes like little snow bunnys! You can hardly tell we're girls under all those layers!  FYI the hottest snow bunny fashion trend this year on the slopes is a touch of bling!  LOL One of the last places I'd expect to see jackets with rhinestone snaps and  Swarovski trims is the line for the chair lift, so....... I guess it's official.  Crystals are taking over the world!!  I like the idea of being a little sparklie and sporty where you least expect it!  A little bling never hurt anyone!

While stuck here in all this rain what better is there to do than work?  This gloomy weather makes staying inside and staying on track with all our custom projects in progress a little easier. We are gearing up for spring show season, focusing on new designs that I hope you all will love as much as I do! I'm very much looking forward to seeing you all out there at a few shows starting in March and I pray that we've got all the wet weather over by then. Showing horses and for me (selling and working) in the rain is no fun :(  Thank God for covered arenas, right!

Check out our show schedule to see where we'll be. This schedule is tentative and we will be adding shows.... most likely local northern California stuff, keeping things simple so we can focus on production.  If you all have favorite shows that you're looking forward to and would like to see us there, let us know.  We always love to hear from you, or you can always call or email to set up a private appointment with us if you need something new.  Keep in mind early in the season is the best time to order or shop because you can wear your investment all season and you're ready to go hit the shows without stressing and worrying about what to wear!  Procrastinators, I can relate! LOL

If you haven't had time to get outside and take a break from your crazy life, I hope you find your own way to enjoy the chilly weather before it's gone and we're all sweating together at this years sizzling summer shows!
