First stop: SF

My friends,

I arrived in San Francisco for the first leg of my trip to a empty house full of thoughtful notes and surprises!

(Page and Ryan are on honeymoon number two to Maui and were kind enough to let me stay at their home until I fly out with Kristin to Europe.)

As soon as I walked in, there was a nice little welcome sign with a lavender chocolate (delish) and a stack of magazines...

an adorable nail kit that Kristin and I will be using tomorrow night...


and a nice reminder that I can borrow some samples from the birchbox Page received a couple weeks ago.


Best of all, Ryan stocked up on toaster strudel for me! My favorite.


I even had some for dessert tonight.

You guys are the best!!

Looking forward to Kristin coming over tomorrow!

The ya-ya sisterhood

My lovelies,

I have two wonderful sisters. One knits, the other blogs. Today, I'm going to tell you all about the blogger. Another time, I'll share with you the knitter.

Page, aka The Mrs. (she was married a year ago to the wonderful RC), is wonderfully creative. She has an eye for design and has always had a knack for fashion. The reason I love, love, love her blog is because it keeps me up-to-date on what's "in" AND it features her amazing crafting ability. This girl can craft like none other. Everything she makes looks like it either came out of Pottery Barn or a Martha Stewart magazine.

What also is awesome about her blog is that it features some really cool, unique spots in San Francisco. Since she's a newbie in the city, she's exploring the nooks and crannies of everything San Francisco has to offer.

Basically, her blog is a fashionable, crafty must-see list of SF. Or something like that. Definitely check her out before August 20th and leave a comment to be entered into a drawing for a FREE birchbox.


Some fun facts about my sister:
- I used to call her ya-ya because I couldn't say Page.
- She is fantastic at poetry. Her rhyming ability is amazing- I swear she could be the next Eminem.
- She's the greatest at giving gifts because she is so thoughtful.
- The girl can't sing, but she sure has rhythm and sweet dance moves.

I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful and talented sister. Thank you, Page, for all that you do for me.

xoxo
