There are those families that go around the dinner table and repeat the highs and lows of the day or week; this week I can’t help but smile over the “high” from the past seven days. Yesterday, my friend and photographer, Elena Graham and I were invited by Sunset magazine to join them for a sneak peek into the upcoming Celebration Weekend at Cornerstone Winery {it’s this weekend, folks!}. First, Sunset magazine has been in my life for as long as I can remember; my mum had a subscription when I was growing up, and I would ogle the beautiful interiors and gardens every month. So, it was an honor to be in their company. The event was held at Cornerstone, which is a common stop for us anytime we visit Sonoma {see here}, but it also holds a special place in my heart since I got to watch my little sister get married there a couple years back. She even got ready in what is now known as the Sunset Smart Cottage, and it’s there for you to visit over Sunset Celebration Weekend. If you plan to make the event, take advantage of my buy-one-get-one-free code for a general admission ticket – BOGO2017 {buy your tickets here}.
p.s.I always like to know what to wear to events, so here it is; 1. Sunscreen. 2. Hat 3. Dress or airy clothing – basically, it’s going to be a hot one, and you don’t want warm clothes to ruin your chances of soaking in the fun. Be sure to let me know if you plan to go or please come say hi and the event – looking forward to it!
As always, here are the scenes from the week.

I hope you have a lovely, manicured weekend.
