Someday... Retro Knit Dress

Now that we're entering summer, it's time to make sweaters in San Francisco. The foggy weather is perfect for cozy knitting. I'd like to make this gorgeous dress from the Vogue Knitting 25th anniversary (Fall 2007), but it requires so much yarn ($$), I probably won't get around to it till 2012!

First Aid Box

Last Sunday, we did a little browsing, strolling, pie-eating, and of course, latte-sipping. I picked this up at The Curiosity Shoppe on Valencia. Steel construction, and red! Opening this box will be a little treat every time I cut myself (which, with all the remodeling and various projects, is quite often).

Flea market find

Vintage globe circa 1953.

Simplicity in safety pins

I wish I could remember where I found these...

The best food storage container EVER

Glass, stainless steel lid, silicone perimeter seal under lid and air valve. No yucky plastic that gets all scratched up or that leaks God-knows-what-chemicals into your food... I have two of these but wish I had more. Originally from Williams-Sonoma but alas! they discontinued them a while back. I guess we'll have to go to Germany!

I want.... Eva Zeisel Classic Century Footed Bowl and Sauce Boat

I would totally add these (and the matching place settings) to my wedding registry if I had one. Will have to wait till Christmas. Hopefully the line will still be available.
