This California Craft Thrift Store Is A DIY Lover’s Dream With Shelves Full Of Unexpected Bargains

Fabric sold by the pound. Sewing patterns priced in cents. Every dollar you spend helps local seniors, and I can’t think of a sweeter deal for a crafter. The whole store started with one woman’s sewing stash. Her family donated her fabrics and supplies back in 1995. What began as a single table of goodies grew into a full shop that just doubled in size.

This under-the-radar Wine Country restaurant has one of California's most thrilling wine lists

You can taste a 121-year-old wine among the redwoods on the edge of the Bay Area, but you'll need to hurry. The Lodge at Dawn Ranch, a little-known restaurant nestled along Sonoma County's Russian River, is currently pouring a 1905 Madeira, produced the same year the historic resort property was established. The Guerneville restaurant only has one bottle and it's running low, though a visit to the Lodge is well worth it for the food, too. In a review published today, Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan gave Dawn Ranch three stars for its "intentional, exceptional food," which "has the potential to transform Guerneville into something quite unrecognizable."

5 Best Restaurants in Napa, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Napa, California — a valley where the morning mist clings to the vines, where sun-warmed stone and weathered wood cradle a thousand stories, where the laughter of winemakers, the hum of harvesters, and the quiet pride of families echo between rolling hills. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Victorian facades, rustic barns, glass-walled tasting rooms, and the gentle sprawl of olive groves. Napa is a crossroads — of old-timers and newcomers, of chefs who chase the seasons and farmers who coax life from the land, of dreamers who believe that food and wine can be a kind of poetry.

It is not fancy, and the neighborhood can feel rough around the edges, but the crowds keep coming back anyway.
