New York is at it´s best at Christmas time and my favourite place at that time is definitely the Soho area. I visited the Birdbath bakery that is at the old Vesuvio bakery´s place on Prince street to bring home some huge chocolate chunk cookies. Dean & Deluca was looking good as always. I stocked up on some of my favourite home keeping items at the Laundress store and revelled at the Christmas tree scent on all street corners. Then it was time to head home. Obvisouly with the newest Martha Stewart Living to find some new inspirtaion for you guys.
Have an absolutely amazing weekend! I´m becoming a godmother for the third time on Saturday and then I´m going to a ladies pre Christmas party. So I will absolutely enjoy some champagne and good vibes!

San Francisco

A photo collage of my trip to San Francisco. I had a wonderful brief visit to this beautiful city. The skies were blue and the sun was shining. Christmas was everywhere. I got some great tips from an Instagram friend whom I had coffee with ( at As Quoted in the Presidio Heights area where they happened to have cookie decorating for kids that day, the Jolly balloon picture is from there) and she showed me around her hoods too. Pacific Heights was a gorgeous neighbourhood. I found some cute little interior finds from Hudson Grace and Sue Fischer King. March was also a fantastic looking boutique. The children´s shop Dottie Doolittle was cute but my absolute favourite of them all was Mudpie. It had a great selection of children´s clothes, toys, books, vintage finds, treats, antiques and cosmetics. I also went Christmas ornament shopping in a 150 year old department store called Gump´s. The Christmas layout was amazing and I found the Nutcracker decoration I was looking for to put in the girls Christmas calendar ( yesterday when we saw the Nutcracker at the National Ballet). I went to the Ferry Building where they had amazing food stalls and a farmer´s market going on as it was Saturday. Gorgeous! And I obviously visited Miette that was on my bucket list.
I wish I get to visit this beautiful city soon again! There is some sightseeing to do still!

p.s. That amazing soup tureen in Hudson Grace stole my heart. If only I had had a place for it in my luggage. Absolute perfection!
