2011 in the rear view mirror

Friday, December 30, 2011

2011 flew on by in a blink...  I'm finding myself dreaming & planning 2012 and almost forgetting to look back. Photos are my best memory, so I'm reminding myself what a gift this year was by choosing my memorable moments of 2011 month by month. I was inspired by Tabitha's Emma's post. Hopefully you'll be inspired to compile photos of your 2011 too!

January
One of my favorite events in our little town is when the Garden Shartse Tibetan Monks visit for the ceremony, Affirming Our Commitment to the Peaceful Coexistence of All People and All Religions.

We welcomed the Year of the Rabbit for Chinese New Year with an annual Lotus Girls' dinner party at our house to celebrate.

It was a busy bunny month! A show in San Francisco at Velcrow Studio, followed by 10 days in Palm Springs for Modernism Week & the vintage Trailer show at the Riviera Hotel.
