a delishuz week
On Thursday afternoon a coworker and I headed over to the Museum of Craft and Folk Art to check out the latest paper art installation. If you have never been, check it out, the installations are small but very interesting and the museum is free every tuesday.

On Thursday evening Ptdddingeauxs and I went to the Castro for Sketchfest (http://www.sfsketchfest.com/home/)and watched Better Off Dead on the big screen and got to hear a Q&A with Savage Steve Holland. He was incredibly charming and funny and we got our pictures taken with him in the furry coats I made for us.
I sold some clothes at Crossroads on Irving street to get some moola to offset some of my shopping during the weekend. The added bonus being that there is more room in my closet. W00t! They even have a drop off system now, where you can drop off the clothes and pick up your check 24 hours later!

I went to Flora Grubb on Saturday while the Ptdddingeauxs had lunch with his ma mere. If you have never been it is an amazing place to get inspired to plant like a fiend. http://www.floragrubb.com/index.php. I bought two planters and became resolute to put some more green living things in the house. I popped over to the goodwill across the street and found some great blue glass pieces that went perfectly together. Sunday was planting day using some succulents trimmmings I got from my back yard and two plants that were given to me during the holidays. Once I got it all done, I placed them all around the house along with the flowers I bought the day before.
Saturday evening was spent at Samovar at the corner of Page and Laguna attending a suprise Bday party for a friend. We showered her with a satuerne and a ton of chocolate, which seem to fit the bill quite nicely. The chai tea is divine!

I made a crock of sauerkraut which is so freaking good I can't stand it. I am now going to have a constant rotation of fermenting sauerkraut! So if you want some, let me know!
Along with thrift store runs, I got some of the fun stuff I had ordered over the past week. I am very fond of the surly cat timer.
I started reading a novella by Proust called the Lemoine Affair. It is a series of short storied written in the style of other authors, like Balzac and Flaubert. It is so freaking funny I let out a little pee (I know TMI, but honestly this shit is funny).

I noticed while rearranging the house that the Ptdddingeauxs and I really really really love birds, and to prove that point observe the birds around the house:
Last but not least I bought some amazing fabric at equilter.com which carriers some of the most interesting fabric I have ever seen! The best part of this particular piece is that the girl on it looks exactly like the cartoon girl in the the Mica Lollipop video:

I am now watching Wild Wild West, am embroidering a spiderweb on a skirt I bought at the thrift store and drinking a delishuz chamomile and ginger tea for the Imperial Tea Court in the Ferry Building, which is one of my fave places for lunch, the won-ton soup rocks!
