Hi, I would love your shirt to wear to my son’s wedding in July. He lives with his fiance near Tassajara, not too far from Big Sur and I think he would love the story. I don’t have money right now to buy anything clotheswise and think this would be a beautiful top to wear as a mother of the groom. Thank you

Interesting…I just read a piece in The Guardian about Deetjen’s & Big Sur and commented to a friend that the only thing I REALLY miss (having moved from Carmel to Ashland 5 years ago) is the summer drives down to B.S. in my little blue convertible with the top down and Reggae blasting on the cassette player. Among many addresses & over a period of almost 35 years, I lived above Garrapata Beach, in Palo Colorado Cyn (very briefly) and 8 years in the Highlands. I’m now in Ashland and LOVE it but was on pins and needles when Big Sur/Tassajara (almost) burned and read every blog, daily. Am now supporting the refurbishment of the Tassajara area with (monthly) donations to the Zen Center. Anyway, would love your Big Sur shirt and am so pleased (& not surprised) abou your observation that B.S. maintains it’s flavor/authenticity (while all around it shifts) (am being polite). If you’re ever in Ashland, the welcome mat is out!

I would love to have this top!!! First, it would fit … so few things do these days (I’m on prednisone, and have “blown up” way beyond my normal size!). I can’t exactly tell you why I want this top; just that it is sooooo “me”!
