Celebrating Simple Pleasures in the New Year at the Great Park
January 1, 2012 by Bonnie Gausewitz · Leave a Comment
It was another gorgeous day in Southern California and I coerced my husband and friends to come with me to the Antique Fair/Flea Market which recently moved to the Great Park in Irvine just off Sand Canyon and the 5 freeway. Fun finds of the day were these brooches for $3 which will dress up a [...]

After being happily stuffed over the holidays my body is craving fresh, organic fruit. I am so thankful we planted fruit trees a few years ago because my family is never without some form of fresh fruit to pick & enjoy. For those of you who don’t already have fruit trees, they can be implemented into [...]

August 15, 2011 by Bonnie Gausewitz · Leave a Comment
I love going to Peppertree Park for the “Concerts in the Park” series sponsored by the City of Tustin and annual “Broadway in the Park” show sponsored by TACFA (Tustin Area Fine Arts Council.) This year’s musical, “Oliver,” is one of my all-time favorites! What makes the experience even more fun is bringing food and libations to [...]
Are North Tustin Residents prepared for the upcoming fire season?
August 6, 2011 by Bonnie Gausewitz · Leave a Comment
I recently attended the ReadySetGo meeting at Bent Tree Park in Lemon Heights which was very informative and frankly, a little scary. According to fire authorities, Peter’s Canyon Regional Park is at the end of a wind tunnel which could carry a fire to our area in 15 minutes and burn our hills in as little [...]
Your Home is Your Sanctuary

Sorting through and tossing out years of old magazines in my latest attempt to cleanse my home and mind of excess baggage, the torn pages of “eye candy” I have collected have given me some clarity on how I want my home to “feel.” Over two decades I have filed away or given to clients favorite vignettes from Veranda, Southern Living, [...]

North Tustin Real Estate Update

So…it only appears to have been awhile since I posted because some HACKER from Turkey (the Turkey) attacked my site and I didn’t back up my more recent posts. Maybe he was jealous of that we are living Under the Tustin Sun and he’s not. Ha! OK – quick update on what the heck is going [...]
North Tustin Housing Prices
September 23, 2009 by Bonnie Gausewitz · Leave a Comment
I was pleasantly surprised today when I went to meet an appraiser on a home I had sold. To establish value I need to bring him/her recent sales. There were over 20 sales since January asking for $850,000 – $1,100,000 in North Tustin. Yes, prices are down but our area continues to be an extremely [...]
Tustin Chili Cook Off!
June 7, 2009 by Bonnie Gausewitz · Leave a Comment
Today’s Tustin Chili Cook-off is the largest in the Western United States! And I missed it…however, my daughter made it. We are all chili lovers. One year I had a booth and we made gallons and gallons of chili which was all gone by 11:00. I didn’t compete for two reasons: to be a true [...]
