My kid went to buy a toy and she paid with Apple Cash and they took her money and said transaction didn't go through. They kept yelling at the girls saying they were holding up the line. It's not about the money. It's the principle of things. Stealing with little kids is not cool. Don't support these old ladies and their dishonest store.

I'm a big fan of letterpress and an even bigger fan of independent artists. If you love handmade cards, you will LOVE Olive & Page! Molly makes an assortment of cards for each special person and special holiday in your life - she has notecards, birthday cards, holiday greetings, and even gift tags. Her vintage style is elegant and modern at the same time ... bringing an old printing process to life! Her new line of Valentine's Day cards are gorgeous, with vibrant swirls of color and beautiful imagery. My favorite is the "Heart on a String" card ... you've got to pick that one up for your sweetie for sure. And though you may think the prices are kind of steep, think about two things: 1) How long it takes to make a single one of these cards 2) How cool local artists are! Then sit back and wait for your cards to come in the mail ...

You can blame the power outage but that happened over the weekend in SF before Christmas. There are a few days left to grab a gift. One place has some good fun gifts which will be a bit more unique from that Target store gift card you may be planning to give. It's located in the Mission District and it's called Serendipity( not the Christmas movie) . On a Winter Holiday stroll on Valencia street between the Chic n' Time and the Valencia Pizza & Pasta there is a cards and gift shop. Serendipity has cards for the holidays and also the traditional stocking stuffers and Secret Santa gifts. You will find candles, socks, jewelry,and other surprises. This is the spot if you want to gift something to a person who most likely doesn't have the item you're giving them. Come to Serendipity before you turn into Ebenezer Scrooge. Come to Serendipity where they have gifts for any occasion and "setting "from Birthdays Christmas , and, the "Wedding" because Winter is season for Holiday cheer should be "spreading" and the last thing you want is having a Christmas gift that you are "forgetting" Go to Serendipity by bike , car , bus, feet, BART, or Waymo , Uber, or "Lyft " because the Holidays is the time to "uplift" the spirit of a person with a Holiday "gift" and get that Christmas card with Mariah Carey or Taylor "Swift"

The most unique thing I had Peggy frame was bar coasters and beer bottle caps from a beer tour we did in Europe. She frames moments in my life that I get to display and they become conversation pieces. She takes the time to find the right frame color/style, border or no border and the right protection from the sun. This review is long overdue but it's time to share what a wonderful job she does.

I was offered usage of the materials, drafting table, and her wealth of knowledge to help me learn the skills I wanted to learn (which is finite at this time). Connie and I had a conversation about what I wanted to accomplish and she offered me advice and guidance on the best way to go about it. Within an hour, I feel confident that I can make my desired repairs and build upon that knowledge. Connie let me know that should I wish to join a class or expand my skills, that was possible. The studio is small but very well lit (I accentuate that for the visual aspect to sewing). Folks sit close to each other, but it feels communal and pleasant.

Many classes here at the sewing studio are geared towards kids (seven and up) who are able to complete 5-6 projects in a week. This is extremely ambitious for a beginning sewing class that lasts a few hours a session. My student says the class is fun and she felt well supported by the instructor and her assistant. Projects do get completed alongside good supervision and instruction. The studio is unmarked beyond a simple black awning that reads aptly, "Sew."
