Have you seen the movie Elf? I know, I know…it seems a bit past the season for me to ask you about this. I think that movie is great {and I’m not necessarily a holiday-related movie fan…unless Halloween is the holiday}. I said it. So, there. What prompted this discussion is the cute quote of the week post over at On-Hand + Modern I just saw…
ps – you can download and print it. love.

Forgot to mention to you that a few weeks ago I saw Ira Glass…
Alright, so I saw his face. When I was strolling around in the Mission I visited one of my favorite shops, Little Otsu, and saw this Ira Glass Pillow by Big Stone Head. I was so tempted to bring it home with me. Next time. Next time…
I thought this was pretty cool…

Over this past holiday season {previous ones as well} I did my shopping from only small businesses. Everyone got things from me from shops that were local or independently owned. One of my favorite shops for getting unique gift items is Limonaia.
Located in Russian Hill here in San Francisco, owner Jessica Goldfarb has curated a selection of goods from both local and international companies fit for any occasion and recipient. Most recently I picked up a vase and candle for my mom, a fabric pouch for my sister, and a memory card game, drawing books and bath treats for my nieces and nephews. Oh, and there may have been a little something for myself thrown in there as well. The shop is great because it fits any budget.
Stop on by and see Jessica and her friendly staff. They are all very helpful and knowledgeable about the lines they carry in the shop. Some of my current favorites are the fabric headbands and ponytail holders made locally {which I own}, paper products, candles, soaps, and well, just about everything I guess. My friend actually just gave me the cutest wristlet/clutch from Limonaia recently as well. I’m also kind of obsessed with the blabla dolls {hey, I’m a big kid, right?!}…
aloha! i’m Liana. this is my site. i am not a professional writer. i pretty much just write the way i talk. it’s fun meeting new online friends and introducing these amazing artists. i’ll do my best to keep you entertained.
