birthday wishes

tanglevine crossing was one of my mom's favorite shops. 

where is this boutique, you ask? farmland, indiana - a hidden gem in the midwest.here you will find an absolutely adorable cottage filled with charming trinkets and giftware. 

whenever i was in town visiting from san francisco, my mom and i would lunch at the chocolate moose and then pop over to this homey spot.

today in particular i fondly recall jerome + larry's hospitality - and yummy tea. (and, can i tell you a little secret: they have made specialty wares for neimans!) they are a classy pair living a low key life in the heartland.

my mom adored them...and they adored her.

i miss you mom. happy birthday.....xo
