I drove past Summer Camp a couple of times not knowing it was anything more than a custom framing shop situated in an old automobile service station. On our way out, we stopped and I’m so glad we did. This place plays to the senses with good tunes, the best smelling candles, the most tactile displays like hangers made out of tree branches, and enough treasures so beautifully displayed that your eyes will be popping out worse than Wile E. Coyote’s. I came away with that adorable “Hunker Down With Me” banner (which can also be found

here), a copy of The Collective Quarterly that I had intended on ordering online anyway, and the tobacco and teakwood combo soy candle (found here), which the nice girl behind the counter said happens to be their best-selling one. If for no other reason (and trust me, there are many other reasons), I’ll be returning to Ojai to stop in at Summer Camp once again.

We ate until we could eat no more, drank wine and whatever it was that that manager from that one restaurant served us, listened to live music, got massages, walked through the local Farmer’s Market (which had the best tangerines) and hit up some of the local thrift stores (I scored a gorgeous skirt and some other knick knacks for the house). We stayed at the Ojai Rancho Inn, which was very unassuming and easily missed when coming up the road. It was quaint and cozy, with lovely character and a horse next door that we had the pleasure of watching from our bathroom
