Last Weekend

Last weekend our neighbor Caty sneakily followed us to Animal Care and helped us cheer up after looking for a pup of our own. We went to Flower Craft, the affordable plant nursery, where we stocked up on more lettuces and some new greens. We also spent some time Flora Grubb, the not-so-affordable but totally amazing and inspiring retail plant shop, and at the community garden on the border of the Mission and Potrero Hill (where I am now DYING to get a plot!). Finally, we rounded the day out with a visit to an old military building that's been turned into artist studios on the Bay, and a late lunch at Chez Maman in Potrero Hill. FUN!

I was thinking of all of you in Chicago, so I made sure to snap plenty of great flower pictures at Flora Grubb.. hopefully the greenery will be emerging there soon!

Freesia from Caty's garden plot.. sooo yummy and beautiful





Erin, these placemats reminded me of the work of that paper artist you sent to me ages ago

we couldn't resist bringing two of these home!















this is a crazy kind of palm tree.. i think it's bare now from winter, but the trunk has all of these spikes on it.


on the roof...there are some cool old buildings in this particular area...we picked up a nice big house plant at Flower Craft!
