Summer vacation this week

Despite being back from Canada (that's me in the big hat up there), I'm still in summer vacation mode, so posting will be light this week.
If you're fiending for some Offbeat inspiration, I encourage you to page back through the archives — there's almost three years' worth of posts for you to read!

What they said. I read them all long ago.

Perhaps that means we need to reflect upon our favorites! I have been through them all too, but I love going back to my favorite ones and thinking about WHY they are my favorites. Sometimes it is not even the style/decor but the "Feel" I get from them.

HOORAY for the link for the hat – that was my first question when I saw the pic!

Ainsworth is perfect for washing the Shambs hippie-dust off, eh? It's always tacked on to the tail-end of our raver pilgrimage, too
