Beautiful "divas" at Peace and Loaf...

Here comes Gina with Chris and Lisa!

The cinnamon rolls blew out of town...

It was 8:30am and the smell of just made cinnamon rolls permeated the air around the bakery. Our first customers arrived just a few minutes before opening and presented us with the ad we publish in the Calendario and said "We finally found you and we would love to have four of your cinnamon rolls with four coffees". They sat at one of our picnic tables under the ficus trees and smiled. That was the beginning of a great new day at Peace and Loaf.

A few minutes later our friends Kris and Jamie arrived. We had not seen them for a few months, and were thrilled to welcome them back from Alaska. Also to inform them that the Rubilina they gave us last year is very happy and healthy in our garden.

Then Enrique and Giana showed up wearing one of our t'shirts. Where was my camera?...

Like that the familiar faces keep coming back week after week, sometimes we have to dig back into the brain's computer to retrieve the names (which we might have forgotten), but we never forget the happy faces and the connection to their wonderful experiences.

You can see the pictures of Calala, between her parents, also Anne, Peter, Kaylee and Doug (just back from a major sailing trip).

Something new at Peace and Loaf....

Dominique, our very own organic garden diva brought her beautiful greens to Peace and Loaf on Saturday. And, they did not stay for very long... happy customers were picking up their loaves of bread and then purchasing some salad greens as well. She will be back with more goodies on Saturday!

Peace and Loaf's logo...

The Peace and Loaf logo was designed by George. We have been able to apply it to our t'shirts, paper bags, stickers, cards and our advertising.

You can see it in one of our bags held by beautiful Maia and her Mommy.

Human connections...

As I ponder and think of what is it that I like the most about Peace and Loaf I come to the conclusion that it is the connections formed by people sharing a cup of coffee and a piece of bread. Our communal tables, where sometimes you have to ask someone to move over to make room for you provide this opportunity. Sometimes you get to meet a visitor or perhaps a neighbor who you have seen but maybe never got a chance to speak to. Great friendships have started right at these tables. Also, personally, it gives me great joy when I look up and see a familiar face walking in, maybe someone I haven't seen since the last season. A hug, a smile... like the Master Card commercial says "it's priceless".

The Community at Peace and Loaf...

It wasn't quite 9am last Saturday at Peace and Loaf, the fresh scent of just baked cinnamon rolls filled the air, when one of our customers snuck in through the opening of the gate and asked if he could take some pics of the bread coming out of the oven. That event started our happy day, the welcoming fish flags got put in place and Reed, a friend and customer, helped by opening the gate.

T'shirts at Peace and Loaf...

New T's have arrived at Peace and Loaf. We have beautiful grey and white t'shirts with the Peace and Loaf logo printed on them. And, we also have George's Art t'shirts. The
artwork printed in these shirts includes imagery photographed by George and modified digitally, then hand printed by their daughter Karen. Do stop in and check them out! P.S. Note our smiling celebrity hostess for the day "Miss Lisa Welsch" wearing one of the new Peace and Loaf t'shirts and a dark vest.
