Cleaned out my closet today and am getting excited for autumn! The leaves have been turning for a couple of weeks since the Bay Area hardly had a summer. I bought a cute coat for my July birthday since it was already cool enough to start wearing it (looks like this). I love fall fashion and remembered this fun post from way back by Stephanie Congdon Barnes. Love her taste—these elbow patches are perfect!

I love the site Design Sponge and their Sneak Peeks are so much fun! My two favorites as of late are Susan and William Brinson’s Manhattan home and Bladon Conner’s Chicago home/studio!


So the Renegade Craft Fair was super awesome. Since we had just returned from vacation and I had bought myself lots of birthday presents I really tried to show restraint at the craft fair. It was tough but I decided on a few perfect items with my big splurge being issues 3-6 of Uppercase magazine. I also got a canvas bag from Dutch Door Press and a string a colorful paper garland. maiki bought a gorgeous notebook cover and lots of other notebooks too. The weather was actually perfect and we love walking to Fort Mason from the BART station. I had some of the best food ever that day as well: japanese curry from Delica, meyer lemony lemon cupcake from Kara’s Cupcakes and cold tofu and a glass of Humanitas cabernet from Bushi Tei Bistro. It really was a perfect day.
Reserved one of our regular
City Car Share cars and went on a road trip. Visited our old home and old haunts. My actual birthday we went wine tasting and came home with a mostly full case of wine. ^_^ We made a figure eight of a drive there and back and made sure we crossed all three north bay area bridges in the process. Today off to the
Renegade Craft Fair at Fort Mason!
