A Few Favorites

With the 49ers-Steelers game delayed yet again because of a power outage, I thought I'd take the opportunity to do a little blog update with some of my favorites things of late.

A couple of weekends ago, my nephew came over to hang out with me while Jon was out of town. We made sugar cookies using these Star Wars cookie cutters. They were cute enough without any adornment, so we didn't bother with any frosting or candies.

I love this neon pink and orange ribbon (apologies for the grainy iPhone photo). It reminds me of the neon holiday decor story that Kate Pruitt wrote for the Anthology winter gift guide.

When we were in Mexico for Thanksgiving weekend, my sister and I did a little shopping in Los Cabos. I got this amethyst and sterling silver ring, which I've worn almost every day since.

The other day, Jon and I were in Bernal Heights and stopped in at Avedano's for the first time — and it will definitely not be our last! The sandwiches there are insanely good. And I don't usually even like sandwiches. Just up the street, Sandbox Bakery is another good spot. I love their cheddar, bacon and scallion biscuits (which I first discovered at Flora Grubb).
