heading out - have a great weekend!

I'm heading to Chicago this weekend to pick up my printing press [yay!].  And thanks to the lovely Jane, we'll be making a few recommended stops ...Chicago cupcakeIncluding a stop here to get their famous, award-winning cupcakes.  How could I pass that up?  I'll be sure to share the full scoop next week.  And would love it if you send your good vibes my way -- I've researched + carefully planned transporting my new treasure, now I'm just hoping it all goes according to plan!   Have a great weekend.

i *heart* san francisco

We're back from SF + had a great time.  It was just what we needed.  Most of our time was spent hanging out with family but we did check out a few places here + there.  My favorite little shop, of course, was Miette at the Ferry Building.  Their macaroons?  To die for. Just about the best little treats I've ever had ...Miette

We went to go check out Bell'occhio the day before we left + it was closed!  I was beyond bummed.  Definitely a stop for next time.  Will share photos as soon as I get my new hard drive [yes, computer issues are still haunting me].

Timing of this trip couldn't have been better -- its a great way to start off the summer + considering my computer woes, its a good time for me to get away.  Have a great weekend + see you next week!

Bell'occhio

Another definite stop during our upcoming trip to SF will be Bell'occhio ...

Bellochio
I know for certain that I'll have a hard time maintaining self-control in this super cute little shop.  For sure I'll stock up on pretty paper, ribbons + of course that string!

sf trip: miette

Miette will be a definite stop during our trip to SF ...

Miette
I didn't realize until recently they have an online shop + ship select goods.  Yum!  Now we can enjoy Miette when we're not visiting family.
