I didn’t make it all the way to Calistoga for the actual Lincoln Street locale, but we improvised in St Helena instead. After meeting at St Helena Roastery, for coffee (please tell me you don’t notice the drop of chocolate syrup from Miss Fifteen’s mocha, spilled on her Lincoln Street before the photo shoot… lol!), we then took the photos against the stone of the St Helena Catholic Church, then went to Lolo’s Consignment Shop. Lastly we had lunch at Villa Corona, and walked around the Main Street a while too. Absolutely colossally wonderful summer day spent together with my nieces!

I met my nieces at the Roastery in Calistoga this morning, then we hit the four corners …

It was a stellar success!

It has been a couple of months since the Autumnal Equinox …

I worried I’d never finish the Autumn sweaters, having taken them almost-finished when the wildfire came, but recently I finally did finish them, and yesterday I gave them to my nieces. Photos flew off perfectly … even more artful than ever before !

Miss Seventeen’s cardigan pattern HERE , Miss Fifteen’s pullover pattern HERE.

Special thanks to Wendy , who kindly sent me some of her own buttons all the way from Canada, after having lost my button collection in the fire and could not find any locally for Miss Seventeen’s cardigan. xx

Then my nieces Miss Seventeen & Miss Fourteen, were keen on visiting the old mural, although it seems to have faded somewhat in the bleaching hot Calistoga sun…

It was pouring down rain most of the day, but fortunately late this morning it settled a bit and we got in some great shots of Miss Sixteen & Miss Fourteen modeling Calidez Vest.

At the wall outside of Brannan’s on Lincoln and Washington…

I burst with pride at how talented my nieces have become in front of the camera … as I strive to capture the ‘happy accident’ of the moment.

(Oh, but they have had a bit of practice you know… )

We also finally got Autumn’s Calidez Cardigan photographed !

Don’t ask me why it didn’t occur to me to get a couple of shots with the garments buttoned up all the way…

( I become so distracted!)

A lucky morning ( good hair day, good skin day ), and a good day of expressions wonderfully sincere, honest, and artful poses.

My favorite past-time most definitely, bar none, is hanging out with these smart & beautiful young women!

Sweater Success !

Another sweater success! We fell out of tradition this time not photographing in Calistoga, but at our new favorite, the castle! Few words this post, but the cardigan pattern is almost ready, and will post soon!
