heart leg warmers.

so i know i sound like a broken record and all, but being a hawai‘i girl i’m pretty much always cold here in san francisco. i basically never have my legs exposed. i’m in jeans and leggings, wear tights under dresses and even my workout pants are below the knee. but since i take the bus to get to where i need to go, being in my workout pants outside leaves me shivering. i was thinking that i should look at getting some leg warmers and then stumbled upon this pair…

how cute?!

sock monkeys. there are so many variations of them now. a few years back, a friend and i did a trade where i made her a pair of earrings and she made me this guy…

awesome, right? that’s my punky monkey. and, yes, those are earrings in his ear. don’t you love his hot pink mohawk?

you make me happy.

just saw this print of lily & val’s original hand drawn chalk art. this quote has a special place in my heart because my grandpa would always sing “you are my sunshine” to me as a kid…

do you guys remember my spam musubi? well, these pickles in a jar came from the same crafter, jakc designs…

i’m not even a pickle person, but their cuteness won me over. there’s also a smaller pickle with a silly face on the other side of the big one.

catching up.

life has been sort of hectic so i am catching up on a few things. i have been good about taking my daily photos, however. here’s what i’ve got for ya…

45/365. my friends and i headed over to a really fun spot. and, yes…that’s bigfoot!

46/365. my friends and i planned on going to a show to watch a performance. with dancing to follow, of course! since i hardly ever go out {last week was a big week for me}, i thought i’d get fancy. so my friend curled my hair. she’s awesome and i wish she could do my hair every single day.

47/365. when i took a walk the other day i spotted this beauty. i love older cars. if i had a bunch of money to spend on a car, i’d get a classic. my grandpa had a mercury cougar, so that’s the car that holds a special place in my heart.

48/365. i hopped on over to a book signing over at omnivore books to show my support for a friend. because i was running late, i caught the tail end of the event but was able to pick up a copy of her book. we had never had the opportunity to meet in person {she does graphic design and web stuff for me} and yet we’ve known each other for years.

49/365. here’s the cookbook that i picked up at omivore books during the book signing! i’m so proud of lindsay and her husband {taylor}!

50/365. yummy breakfast with lindsay and taylor. so much fun!

so how was your week?

44/365.

my co-worker and i were pretty busy today. we decided to order pizza from a spot around the corner from us. and when they so kindly delivered our slices to us, we found a little surprise artwork on the box…

cute! it’s just the little things that can make your day.

p is for pinterest.

hope your tuesday is going well so far. i’m feeling a little run down and am trying to take in as much vitamin c as possible and rest the second i feel even a little tired. everyone i know or talk to is sick, has been sick, can’t get over their colds, etc. no fun. but what is fun is that it’s p is for pinterest day! enjoy…

this morning while i was running some errands, i passed by a shop and saw this in their window…

what i love is that it was just a hint of valentine’s day. it wasn’t overly girly {yes, yes…i’m scroogie, huh?} and this could actually be left out all year. i also like that it seems to be handmade.

mini jungle.

just spotted this cardboard cut out animal set by milimbo. this small company, based in spain, draws inspiration for their artwork from stories such as “little red riding hood”, “hansel and gretel” and “the three bears”. i love tall of their products, but fell for their mini jungle…
