Who's going to the ALT Design Summit in January? If you are, I'd love to meet you. I'll be going and I'm speaking. Very excited [and nervous!] about the whole thing.
This photo has nothing to do with it ... just thought it was pretty (and it was one I recently pinned : ).

We had a great trip to San Francisco this past week. It was the perfect mix of family, great food, a little work + friends. Some folks asked what my recommended stops were ... so I thought I'd share some of my favorites ...
2. Levi's Workshop - I loved everything about this - the concept, the execution and of course the topic of printing
3. Kinokuniya - my fab sister-in-law brought me to this Japanese stationery store ... and of course, she was right ... I LOVED it.
4. Tartine - definitely one of my favorite stops
5. Bi-Rite Creamery (there was a line out the door at 10 pm on a cold Monday night. I of course had to go back the next day to try)
6. Miette
7. Britex Fabrics - everything I imagined this mega fabric store to be
9. Tail of the Yak - Jordan of Oh Happy Day took me here. And all I can say is that if you're in the area you MUST GO. Its the most amazing little store. I'm just happy thinking about it. And speaking of Jordan, big thanks for having me at Craft Night and taking me around. You're just as cool as I thought you'd be : ).

While in NYC last week at we stayed the Ace Hotel + loved it. I just came across their branding + love how it fits perfectly with the feel of the hotel ...

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 ...Including 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.

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 ...
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].

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

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