Big Sur, CA

I'm sorry that I haven't been designing new jewelry pieces lately! With the anticipation of leaving California, I've been trying to soak up as much of the coast as possible. The significant other and I drove up to Big Sur last week for some camping fun.


We chose the Kirk Creek Campground because every campsite has its very own ocean view! It was such a beautiful, sunny day with not a cloud in sight.


We took a short hike down the cliff to enjoy some rocky shoreline bliss. I'm always in awe how breathtaking the California coast can be.


Five miles south of the campgrounds is Sand Dollar Beach. Unfortunately, I didn't stumble across any sand dollars, but I did happen to find two beautiful cone shells! I'm looking forward to using them in a new necklace design. We almost had the entire beach to ourselves and enjoyed homemade panini's, crisp sugar snap peas, and a light frisbee toss.


At the end of a relaxing, unplanned day, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset with smores and a glass of wine. It was quite the mini vacation I needed after 104 consecutive days of work. No stress, all sun. With all the scenic coastal views, I'm not too worried about lacking inspiration (:
