As we jetset over San Francisco at sunset en route to Maui, all I could think was: 3 days in San Francisco was nowhere near enough time–we’ll definitely be back. So 3 years later we decided it was time! Having been once before + doing tons more research before we left, we had a pretty good idea what we wanted to do again, what we could skip, and what we couldn’t miss checking out the 2nd time around.

Oh Happy Day has the most clever round-up of handmade 3-D valentines. Whip one up for your valentine!   Blow-up an old family photo into statement artwork for under $10 bucks at your local printer. Check out A Beautiful Mess for the details!   I love this mud cloth diy using a permanent marker from Almost Makes Perfect. Très simple, très cool.   Watercolor lettering is next on my “to learn” list, and Think. Make. Share. Blog breaks it down real easy-like with lettering guides!   The Merrythought’s wooden bow ties take dapper and brilliance to a whole new level! I think Ken might have one of these in his future!
