Ephemera

Today was the semi-annual Vintage Paper Fair in San Francisco, and not only was it an amazingly gorgeous day to be in Golden Gate Park (85 degrees out!), there were also tons of wonderful paper finds to be found. Even though Oakland is absolutely "good enough for me," I have to admit that a beautiful day like this makes me appreciate why people love to live across the bay. Here is my haul from today.

Notes from the Point, April 2012: Insider's Edition

My friends and I rented a booth at Alameda Point again last weekend and it was great (that's my section above). I didn't take as many pictures as usual, but I got a few while wandering around on breaks, so here they are.

Weekend!/ Notes From the Point: February, 2012

This weekend was a great end to another busy week. Friday night I went to see Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler speak at City Arts & Lectures, and they were as charming as always. They signed my copy of Why We Broke Up with a delightfully snarky message about my recent breakup, but I was sad to have lost out in the competition to win a piece of Maira's collection of onion rings (awarded to the most romantic attendees, based on a quiz).

Saturday I co-hosted a crab dinner with two other friends, and Sunday was the Alameda Point antiques fair, where I scored on a nightstand, an amazing German educational chart (pictures forthcoming), and a couple of other miscellaneous items. Here's what I didn't buy.


don't these guys look dapper?
