Over spring break, we rented an apartment in North Beach, San Francisco. We were a few blocks up the hill from Washington Square Park (pictured below). On nice days, the park is often filled with locals hanging out, practicing tai chai or displaying their artwork. We even saw a guy flipping pizza dough! The Saints [...]

I often get asked what camera I use to take the photos for my blog. I use a Canon Powershot S90 digital camera and I LOVE IT! In most situations, I am a point-n-shoot type of camera gal and I have been extremely happy with the S90. (I believe the current replacement is the [...]

Why is it that when you don’t really NEED anything and you really SHOULDN’T be shopping (both kids just got braces and our Am Ex bill just arrived in the mail — with our vacation expenses) — that you find AMAZING things that you really want???

Flea Market Finds

About once every four or five months, I head off (bright and early) to our local antique flea market. They are held the first Sunday of the month. There’s quite a bit of junk, but there are also hidden treasures. These days, I continue to look for old bottles topped with seashells (and old architectural [...]

I recently received a very interesting email from Anthropologie. It was very cool, in fact … as it showed “Tabletop Art.” Anthro has added a fun tool on their website where you can create your own designs using homeware and tabletop products from Anthropolie. You pick plates, cups, silverware, vases, etc. Then you rotate the [...]
A Box of Chocolates

I like chocolate, but I’m not one of those people that LOVE chocolate. When at a restaurant, I will almost always pick a dessert that is not chocolate. And I wouldn’t ever consider stopping by See’s Candy or Godiva for a sample. (I know. I’m in the minority. But I do have other vices — [...]

Jeff got the Nespresso Citiz espresso and cappuccino maker for Christmas. He LOVES good, rich espresso and has been wanting this machine since he first heard about it. I’m not much of a coffee drinker … at least I didn’t use to be. But this thing makes a great cappuccino or latte in less than [...]
