It was a quick trip south….
to
San Francisco ,
the city by the bay…
but we managed to pack
a lot in! You know, the usual…
sightseeing…
champagne…
(at NORDSTROM!)
& shopping!!!
Upon our SF friend’s recommendation,
We (the fam) hit the
Ferry Plaza Farmers Market for breakfast!
We took a stroll through
iconic Chinatown!
And our son and his
friend, visited a
few colleges…
I even managed to work IN a
work OUT with my beautiful
niece Gina,
who lives in SF!
I survived my
first ever spin class!! (Actually, I loved it!)
Check out
the gym…located in this
amazing old theater!
We refreshed ourselves afterwards at
with fab
Red Velvet cake chocolate ice tea!
Um, only 5 calories &
sooo yummy!
So, we of course added a little soy milk &
aguave syrup!
Later, it was time to do a little
home-decor shopping! I knew this
would be my first stop… after reading
all about it, on the very cool blog,
And HD Buttercup did NOT
disappoint! Here is a peek inside!
The lighting selection is inspired!
Love this milky
glassware!
BTW…I’m totally eyeing these gorgeous
bar stools!
(Sorry about the quality of the photos…Cell Phone! )
H.D. Buttercup is a Brick & Mortar store only…but
they gladly ship :)
Anyway, I asked Gina & her friends
for a little ’20 something SF Shopping Guide!’
You know, just in case you are heading to SF!
(Thank you girls!)
Here’s the partial shopping guide list:
and
which is situated on this awesome,
light strung little SF street. Magical.
So much shopping so little
time. Hope to return soon…
I am seriously a ‘SF girl’ wannabe,
What a wonderful time I will keep some of your sites for my visit to SF sometime in the future. I have never heard of Gumps so going over to check that out.
Awww, reminds me of my days living in that great city! My first apartment out of the house! In fact, as a kid my parents would often take me and a friend up to “the city” for a day of sightseeing, shopping, and dinner. We always did it in the Fall as well as other special times of the year. It was such great fun and among the many memories of my childhood!
So glad you got to have a little getaway. Even if it was short!

And BUY those barstools!!! They’re too spectacular to pass up!
