scenes from san francisco

my trip to san francisco has been fantastic (and warm!) so far and i just wanted to share a few scenes from the week before i post more tomorrow…..

[image above: hand-painted wooden apple boxes (with leather "stems") i wish i'd bought at rare device. about $24 each by miss natalie]

[image above: julia setting up her incredible houses in the window of rare device, pre-show]

[image above: i love all of the hand-drawn details on julia's houses. she also made stick-on tattoos for the opening tonight in her house patterns]

[image above: so clever- julia's house doors double as a stand for the houses]

[image above: lovely succulents outside of a design firm next to pancake and franks in the mission]

[image above: breakfast (chocolate hazelnut and cheese danishes) at la boulange in hayes valley with julia]

Miss Natalie said: July 10th, 2008 - 2:47 pm	Thanks so much for the mention of our wooden apple boxes, Grace! We’ll be at Renegade this weekend with a new batch of apple boxes & wonderful wooden eggs. Swing by the Miss Natalie booth to check them out, and score some sweet treats. Can’t wait for the RD show tonight!
