A recent long weekend gave way to an adventure at Pinnacles National Park. A fourteen-mile hike through the forest, caves and rock formations lead to a very chill walk along the coastline the following day. Day trips like these make me feel very lucky to live in California, with huge variations in geography and landscape usually just a few hours’ drive away in any direction.
I’ve been adding new pieces to the shop at a fairly steady rate. Here’s the very latest! As always, titles click through.

an interesting 1940s straw hat
Last week a reporter and photographer from Curbed came by and shot my apartment. I think the photos are gorgeous and they also do a nice job of showing how my place looks when all the vintage is tucked away. Many of you know that my business is run out of my home, but what you may not know is how small my home is; about 430 square feet. I feel this is a great peek behind the curtain as to how I am able to run Dronning out of my cozy apartment.
Go here for the full report. Photos via Patricia Chang for Curbed.
