Shifting Gears in San Francisco

The bustling international city of San Francisco is a big contrast to my daily life of quiet living off-grid in the northern Colorado Rockies and I love it! It has always been our favorite city destination and still is. It is fun to look at the haute couture on Union Square, shop for souvenirs in Chinatown, and have a martini in the famous Redwood Room at the Clift.

San Francisco is full of contrasts too. Seeing the red Ferrari in Chinatown was not that unusual but still a major contrast to the primarily walking crowd. Our room at the Monaco was very cosmopolitan but kitschy as well. And if you want to see street vendors next to shops of famous designer couture then Union Square is where you will be.

Next visit will definitely have to be longer!

Seattle Farmers Market Times Two

I have been looking at this photograph I took a couple of years ago in Seattle and it just did not catch the feeling of the moment for me. So I started playing around with it and came up with a different presentation.

Tell me what you think. Do you like the original or my remastered version best? I would love to hear what you think and why.

Life has gotten back to normal in the northern Colorado Rockies. The fire is finally out without any additional property damage. I want to thank my readers for sending me solace with their comforting comments and emails. Thanks friends.

This is the original presentation.

A New Leaf Treasury

I finally got around to doing another treasury on Etsy. I enjoy curating but have not had the time lately. Summers are so busy! I hope you enjoy this one and click on the image to visit it live. Thanks!

Friday Favorites - Pearlescent

I love the iridescent quality of pearls. The light is refracted into blues, lavenders, golds, and pinks complimenting everything you are wearing. Although these products are all very different they remind me of that pearlescent luster in their soft colors and hues. I hope you will visit each one. There are some incredible bargains here!

Friday Favorites - I'm Seeing Red!

This week I would like to shine the spot light on a wonderful group of artisans at Peace and Love on 1000 Markets.

Peace & Love's market profile states that their goal in the new millennium is to capture the essence of the 60's and 70's, when handmade products were fashioned from a culture of free spirit thinking. The Peace and Love market is a trip down memory lane but is also the evolution of this spirit into new twists on old ideas.

Here are a few of my favorite discoveries in this exciting market. Be sure to visit each shop by clicking on the item name or shop name. Enjoy!

Thank you very much, Julie! Super fast shipping and excellent communication. The photograph is even more striking and vivid in person! My mom was thrilled with her gift.

INCREDIBLY TALENTED photographer! This photograph is AMAZING! Julie has wonderful communication. I can not recommend JulieMagersSoulen highly enough! You will NOT be disappointed!

Nancy says:
Everything about this purchase went smoothly. Julie made an effort to get it out in a hurry for Christmas. And her work is outstanding. Very high quality photo and just looking at it on Etsy truly does not do justice to how beautiful her work is once you get a chance to see it in person. I can't wait to order more!
