My husband and I carpooled to San Francisco yesterday. Him = business meeting, me = Japantown (again).
I grazed on oyako donburi and daifuku, purchased more Japanese masking tape* from Kinokuniya Stationery and Gift for upcoming items in the “shop“, and finally, stalked by a pigeon outside of the Peace Plaza.
* You can purchase Japanese masking tape here, here, and here.

Next stop was Kara’s Cupcakes at Ghirardelli Square – if you are a local or tourist, it doesn’t matter. Leave your things – and go now! Yum!
Smores cupcake to go (chocolate cake, marshmallow frosting, graham cracker crust on the bottom):

I turned this wedding menu wheel (so cute!) by Rifle Design into a Valentine’s Day card for my husband. A little silly and a lot of fun to make! It is obviously not a masculine-looking card, so I used blue and neutrals to help balance it out a bit. Placed in an envelope made out of red construction paper, sewn around the edges – leaving the top open for a punched hole and red + white baker’s twine.
A few photos from the annual Santa Rosa cat show – can I adopt all of them?

A trip to San Francisco is not complete without a visit to Kinokuniya Stationery and Gift in Japantown. My big purchase for the day: colored and striped mt masking tape.
