Mama's Little Babies

These are the super cute things we bought at the fair on Sunday. I bought the bracelet, and Caitlin got the necklace. I really loved this ladies work, and would have also liked the necklace of the little red bird. I may contact her and order it. The name of her line is Mama's Little Babies. Click on the link if you want to find out more about this artist. You can also order on line.

Crown and Crumpet, and a fun weekend

First off I would like to say that these beautiful photos were taken by event photographer Drew Altizer, and they are pure eye candy aren' they. We went to this tea shop in San Francisco called "Crown and Crumpet." I forgot my camera, but I'm actually glad, because it was very
crowded when we went, and these photos show it off much better than I could have. It was so much fun. It was a proper English tea, including real clotted cream for the scones!!
I chatted with one of the co-owners, and she was so friendly, even though the placed was mobbed, she took the time to make us feel very welcome. We went on a whim, so we didn't get the best seat,and for that reason, you should make reservations, but our experience was still fun.
Of course they have a darling little gift shop as well, where you can buy all things tea related.
Give it a try if you are ever in that part of San Francisco.

Our other excursion was to go to Marin, to visit the store "Sundance" I received the catalog a few days ago, and then realized there was a store in Marin, so we decided to check it out. We all got some beautiful things from there, and enjoyed our visit. They have beautiful shoes and unique clothing.
Going backwards, to Saturday, we attended a re-opening of our down town Gap. Because of some shuffling around, our Gap and kids/baby Gap, got displaced, and the kids shop completely shut down. It was sad, as I love to get basics at Gap, and also gifts for the little ones there.
Fast forward to Saturday, and they reopened in a huge location(formally Pottery Barn Kids). Ushering in our new location, was Jay Sario from "Project Runway." Funny to see him there, after we just finished watching the season finale. He was very pleasant, and not what I expected. He didn't come off as very friendly on the show, but you know how reality shows edit things to make it more dramatic.
So, all in all we had a very fun weekend, filled with eating good food, and great shopping!
Next post I'll show you some projects I hope to get to, soon as my darn back cooperates .
Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
