shelf life: hearted girl

it is a thrill to announce that today is my second ever guest post!

your innkeeper is visiting the beautiful blog hearted girl...

hearted girl is created by lynn, a radiant, loving, and truly genuine person who i am lucky to have connected with via the magical interwebs...

lynn's energy is so positively vibrant that i can feel it all the way from vancouver every time i read her posts, comments, or emails. she is someone who makes me feel fantastic every time we connect.

today i am contributing to hearted girl in a guest blogging series called shelf life. the series is about things in our lives that never have expiration dates or cease to be amazing to us.

for my shelf life post, i have illustrated and written about five simple pleasures that i have loved ever since i was a wee sprite.

friends, you are invited to join me over at hearted girl today!

{guest post} where wednesday at sagebrush coast

some exciting news for this innkeeper:

sara of sagebrush coast invited me to write my first ever guest post on her lovely blog today!

i wrote this post for a series called "where wednesday" which she describes as:

a regular feature where I and a series of guest bloggers

talk about places that are important to us,

be they work spaces, outdoor spaces, sleeping spaces,

places we visit, places we live, places we drink coffee, etc.

sara and i have been bloggy pals for a year. we met in last year's indie biz 2.0 online course and have been communicating via the interwebs ever since.

since we both live in the san francisco area, we decided that we should meet in person and finally spent the afternoon together last weekend!

she came up to the north bay and we spent the day eating delicious food, adventuring, sipping coffee, and chatting away.  it was quite fun to meet my first blog friend in real life. she is wonderful and brought me two gorgeous flora prints taken by her talented photographer hubby scott.

i adore sara and encourage you to visit her beautiful blog!
