I've been back from the Bay Area for a few days now. It was one crazy, fully packed trip! I saw so many good friends and family members. Alameda, California is a second home to me and if I didn't love Portland so much I might move there.
I had a great time visiting a part of San Francisco with which I was until recently unfamiliar: Hayes Valley. It's the kind of place where I couldn't afford most of anything that my friend and I saw in the stores, but I'm going to mention them all because we had fun and got a lot of good ideas. I'm still searching for the perfect bedspread, and we stopped in Reliquary to see a quilt I had looked at on my last trip. If you follow the link, you can see many of their colorful quilts on a shelf. Alas, it was too small but at least I have another reason not to spend money I don't have on it. We paid another visit to Lotus Bleu to see their rugs and textiles again. It's such a beautiful store, the kind of place I tell myself I'll come back to when I have the money. One of my favorite places that day was Nancy Boy , a store with vintage furnishings and their own line of bath products. The guy that worked there was super nice. One of the reasons I decided to blog about the place is that he told us that they get business through word of mouth, so I wanted to make sure I did my bit. He also recommended that we try mixing tea with "cawfee" sometime for a surprisingly refreshing and delicious beverage. I haven't tried it yet but I will, though for now all I have at home is herbal tea and instant decaf so I don't think it'll be as good as promised.
