Hello my dears, this was another one of my Paris flea market finds. I had it listed in my eBay store, but I'm clearing out the Paris inventory to make way for treasures from San Francisco.
Would you like to have it? It's lovely: made of silk with a green glass bead handle. The latch looks like an green jeweled antique brooch. It's large enough for lipstick, a few euros and tickets to the opera!
Please leave a comment to enter! The winner will be announced Monday. Thank you! Meanwhile, I'm off to explore more of San Francisco...xoxo
To kick off my week of blogging in SF, I wanted to ask...
...do you think San Francisco is the most beautiful US city? When I was growing up, my dad used to joke that he was going to quit the rat race to work as a trolley car operator. He loved SF above all other cities (including Santa Fe)....
I love NYC and the Garden District in New Orleans is amazing...but SF has my heart...
My dears, we're packing now to head up to San Francisco to visit relatives for the week. I'm excited to go to Chinatown (with Polaroid camera) for Chinese New Year!
When we return, we're going to begin the search for a new place to live. We've been in our house for more than 12 years and we'd like (rather, need) to downsize. Maybe a loft? I don't care if it's small, I just want something light and bright!Photo from Apartment Therapy.
Happy Friday everyone! This weekend I'm having lunch with my friend Elaine in Beverly Hills and I'm packing for a trip to San Francisco, where I will be taking lots of Polaroids and blogging next week! I'm putting together a list of great flea markets and thrift stores in SF...Any suggestions!?
What are you up to?Photo above taken with my iPhone on my recent trip to Paris.
It's rainy and cold. And I just want to stay in and read. Don DeLillo: "She used the old dented kettle instead of the new one she'd just bought because -- she didn't know why. It was an old frame house that had many rooms and working fireplaces..."
Will be back tomorrow...

Polaroid fans had so much hope last year when Urban Outfitters teamed up with the Impossible Project to restart the production of Polaroid film. But today, project officials sent out a cryptic email saying the effort hit a snag. They had set Feb. 22 as their deadline. It's now been pushed back to March 22.
Anyone out there know what's going on? Are you guys still using Polaroid film? I was very upset to read recently that even Jen at My Polaroid Blog was struggling to find film...I have six packets of 600 left in my refrigerator. I thought I had a new source on eBay, but so far nothing...
Maybe mid-year will bring new hope?
