Real Summer at China Camp

Two weekends ago, sick of the foggy days in the city, my girlfriend Aya planned a summer picnic out at China Camp in Marin. It was wonderful to finally get a chance to hang out with Cat and her beautiful family. Warm weather, good food, great company... what more could a girl ask for on a lazy Sunday?

Nolan + Cat | Maika + me | Aya + Hayden

Of course we had to end the day with a group shot of all three moms posing with their kiddies...

We have been coveting this adorable store in South Australia for a while now, and we couldn't have been more thrilled when Brown Paper Packages started carrying our fabric wraps!

We are mad for their red-striped teepee!

And how yummy are these square floral baking cups. Tie an apron on me right now...

Speaking of baking...patterned cupcake flags!

and these are a few of my favourite things... oh we ♥ Brown Paper Packages...

The $50,000 Christo and Jeane Claude “Art Edition” Book
