Welcome to another adventure of The Tales of the Traveling Tote. We are a group of women who share
our adventures with our named Mackenzie Child's tote whether far or
near. Since Paul and I haven't traveled, we decided to visit some local places along with Miss Lola.
Happy Labor Day Weekend.
This summer has been hot and miserable. I am so ready for some cooler temps. We entertained grandkids early on before the temperatures reached over 100.

Miss Lola loves visiting here. Just look at all of the beautiful variety of greenery and flowers below.

The koi are always hungry and follow when someone steps closer. Miss Lola decided to have her photo with the koi.

They offer a wide variety of pretty pottery too.
They added a large brewery with beer wine and delicious cocktails plus some delicious food to entice anyone.
Another moment inside the shed.
Pottery World - Fall
Paul and I also visited Pottery world, one of my favorite stores. They have a large collection of fountains, pottery and art. Inside, they have furniture, a boutique, florals and plenty of decor, plus a wonderful cafe for dining.
Pottery World - Halloween
The pumpkins are so cute and funny.

Beautiful nursery in your blog. I have a friend who also lives in California and the nurseries anywhere out there look wonderful especially compared to other states. Great choices of plants too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy, some of these nurseries are pretty amazing with decor, dining and so much more.
DeleteThe Littles look happy:) I bet:). And your grandaughter looks so young for her wee ones:)Like you.I love cobalt pots ..a lot..That tote is adorbs..True MC;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Monique. Such a sweet compliment.Then cobalt blue is such an amazing color.
DeleteYour family is just lovely, Linda. I'm so glad you had time together. High Hand and Pottery World look like the kind of places I love -- they are both wonderful shopping and dining spots but also destinations on their own for eye candy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, our time together was so precious. I am hoping for another visit from my one of my granddaughters and her family soon.
DeleteHigh Hand Nursery is absolutely amazing in its size and offerings. We have a nice nursery in our area, but nothing like yours. Karen (Back Road Journal)
ReplyDeleteIt is quite amazing on how large it is and what they offer. A one stop place to buy plants, flowers, dine and buy decor.
DeleteWow Linda that is my kind of place. How fun. Your granddaughter and great grands are so cute. You look beautiful with Miss Lola. Happy Labor Day. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful summer you have had. Don't you love every minute with your grandkids? I know I do! Enjoy the long weekend!
ReplyDeletePottery World looks like a treasure trove! I love the old trucks at High Hand Nursery, that looks like another wonderful place to explore~ How many grands do you have? I know they must love coming to visit you with your pool paradise! Great photos of you and Miss Lola~
ReplyDeleteJenna from the Painted Apron
So many awesome items to look at in both places! And I like how Miss Lola colour coordinated her green accent to go with all the plants!
ReplyDeleteWow I could spend hours in Pottery World. Your granddaughter and your great grandchildren are so cute, and I know you love their visits. As always, you look beautiful with Miss Lola. Happy Labor Day to you and Paul.
ReplyDeletewe used to have several high-end nurseries here. I think there’s only one left. I love yours and thanks for taking us a lot. It’s always fun to explore different places with miss Lola.. I don’t think you told us if you bought anything. How could you not? Looks like the kids had a good time. They grow up so fast. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI know your granddaughter and great grandkids enjoyed their time at your lovely home, Linda. I would love visiting the nursery and Pottery World. What fun places to explore. Thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I know fun was had with the great grandchildren, they are adorable. You have wonderful places to shop that also include dining choices.The nursery looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your grands are so adorable and I know they love to come spend time with you. Wow, I would love to shop with you at the nursery and go to pottery world. I love those blue containers, just my color for my back yard. The halloween decorations are so much fun to shop for. I'm betting you brought something home with you and will create a wonderful scene for the grands. Wishing you and Paul and wonderful Labor Day weekend.........
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to have literally watched your great grands grow up the last 10 years, Linda! I know they must love coming to your 'resort'! High Hand looks like a beautifully designed nursery oasis to get lots of inspiration. I would love a place like that. And Pottery World is definitely a place where temptation abounds! You & I have both said how much we're looking forward to fall. I can't wait to see what's inspiring you this fall. The tablescape last week was a beautiful preview. Happy September to you & Miss Lola!
ReplyDeleteThe kids must love coming to your pool on hot summer days! You have such lovely gardens, too! I love seeing all of the fall decor in the stores and I also look forward to the cooler temps - Happy September
ReplyDeleteHappy September Linda! Much fun with the grandkids by your pool. High Hand Nursery looks like a great destination for shopping and dining and Pottery World looks like a treasure trove and wonderful spot to shop too. I would be like a kid in a candy store will all the Halloween décor! Wishing you cooler temps ♥
ReplyDeleteLinda, I always enjoy your outings, and the photos of your property are always inviting and fabulous! So fun for the grands! The koi are beautiful! There was a koi pond at the wedding venue hotel in Aptos. From the size of each one, I'd say they have lived there a long time. I wish I had a pond. All the Halloween and turkey decor has me ready for fall holidays. If only some cool weather would come our way. Happy September!
ReplyDeletePottery World looks like loads of fun: I am inspired for fall just reading your post! Do you purchase your fun Halloween props from them? I always enjoy seeing your Halloween posts. High-Hand Nursery sounds like such an interesting place. Do you ever sample/purchase their olive oils? I went to an olive oil tasting not to long ago, trying to learn more about the types and what works best depending on how you're using it. Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteLinda, how nice to have the grand children visit and enjoy the pool. I hope the weather has cooled in your area now. How fun to visit both of those places with your tote. I enjoyed looking at the photos. Enjoy your week Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour grandkids must love coming to your house! I bet that pool was well used with all those hot temps. The pottery ghosts are adorable. Of course, now I want some...Happy September!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great, happy family, happy wife, wonderful photos of fun!
