I am so tired from a week packed full of superfun activities and small annoyances. Truly, TGIF because I wouldn’t make it another day! I usually try to refrain from using this blog to air grievances, but I am grumpy this morning and convinced that it will help. Here are a few of things I…

For the first time in a few weeks, it is actually gorgeous and warm outside in San Francisco today! Summer weather means summer pajamas. Usually, I am a satin pj kind of girl. But during the warmer months they are a little too much. When it is warm, I switch over to Honeydew camis and…

I love repurposing antiques and making them usefull. Along with the gold mirror, I also recently inherited a heavy brass letter holder (sort of like this). Not having many letters in need of “holding,” I turned it into a napkin holder for the kitchen. It works perfectly and my everyday paper napkins have never been…

Tonight’s the big Scissors for Lefty show at The Independent! Time to get decked out in your best rock show gear. I always have a hard time picking out what to wear for these shows. I think it has to do with the fact I rarely wear jeans and have a propensity to look more…

I recently inherited a gilded mirror in need of repairs. One side of the decorative plaster was broken into about 20 pieces. I am determined to repair it myself, relying on my crafty and obsessive nature instead of actual skills! I bought some plaster from the hardware store and just ordered something called PoYo Putty…

I bought a set of ten linen napkins from Nordstrom last weekend on the vow (to myself) that I would throw a dinner party soon. Sure, I already have more than a few sets of napkins…but these were so cute with an orange and white Moroccan pattern! Time to get to entertaining! I’ve had the…

Rob and I were at home eating leftover pizza in our pajamas when we got the call. Ikon (visiting from San Diego) had tickets for us to see Marriage of Figaro at the San Francisco Opera. We had fifteen minutes to get ready. A quick change into our best opera clothes and a ten minute…

Rob and I had lunch with Peter, our favorite rock star, today. Peter’s band, Scissors for Lefty, is back in the US for a week in between European tour dates. They have a big show here in San Francisco on Thursday at The Independent on Divisidero. Buy your tickets online before it sells out! Plus,…

After last night, I think I have officially decided on my favorite part of day. It was 10:30, Rob was doing the dishes in the kitchen, I was addressing a few letters at the dining room table and picking up the house. It was perfect! I really think that this last little clean up session…

To me, summer reading is all about old favorites and a little romance. On Saturday last weekend, I settled in with my copy of A Room With a View. This book is perfect for a quiet summer weekend! Read about darling Lucy Honeychurch’s Italian adventures and oh-so-handsome George Emerson. The characters in E.M. Forster’s book…
