as time goes by

these boulangeries are everywhere, really affordable and authentic french food. the croissant and baguette sandwiches were great!

hey guys! seems like i just got here and it’s over right this very minute! i forgot my camera on so many occasions that i almost gave up posting about san fran. but when renee called to check in yesterday she was not hearing that! she convinced me to retrace my steps. i accepted the challenge, hopped on a bus (love the one that goes up van ness. it’s $1.50 in coins), and started shooting!

on the bus i got a call from lynn who was ready to run around again so off we went on another adventure by car! these are some random hilights

chinatown

market at the UN on wednesday

passing by the pretty old theaters

off the bus you can see so much more detail of course, like adorable toy stores. this was a puzzle in a train specialty shop

great displays

got off on polk street by union and ran into a great store called jak. turns out the exterior was designed by the man who did the carvings at the hearst mansion. he didn’t want to live on site so he created this little workshop that jack now rents. it’s all in the book below:

polk turned out to be a great street with lots of amazing places

swallowtail can really merchandise, making me want everything in the store

tiny crowns in ‘past perfect’ antique collective. lynn is a crown expert and i always look at them when we’re together

carol at interior visions may end up carrying some tpa stuff! glad i went back and revisited afterall and will post the rest later. and now to the airport!
