bike chick!

thanks so much for the wonderful comments on the mister's birthday, they were much appreciated :) we had a great time last night filling our bellies with ribollita and pudding pie!! in other news........bart called and they have the camera i lost!!!!!!!!!!!!! we can't pick it up so they are mailing it to our little casa...it was such a lovely surprise and i can't wait to get it<3


so i didn't have much time to write a bike chic tip today so here is another bike adventure outfit. a couple of weekends ago we got this AMAZING week of warm weather so on sunday the mister and i road around the neighborhood and park. it was so nice to be riding around in such warm weather during november.

i am sporting one of my longer skirts that i bought some time ago at a thrift store on haight street in sf along with a red crocheted cardigan and vintage blue shoes. This skirt is the perfect long length for me and for riding. it isn't long enough to get caught in anything and it covers my legs while riding. i felt so girly while riding which is always really fun!

TOMORROW IS TURKEY DAY! MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bitter sweet

hope everyone had a great weekend! the weather was AMAZING over here perfect for a nice day in the sun and a bike ride. the mister and i woke up early on saturday got ready and then jumped on our bikes and headed out to oakland to try a new park out called mosswood park. we heard of a really awesome deli that is off of telegraph called genova's delicatessen so we headed there first before going to the park. i ordered a prosciutto sandwich and the mister ordered a pepper turkey sandwich. i grabbed a root beer and the mister grabbed a couple of beers. since it was an itailan deli i new it would have my favorite italian candy, boci. this candy always reminds me of my nona who passed away many years ago. she would always give me boci whenever we went to her house...it always felt so special and is a happy memory one that i will always remember.

the park was great, we had it pretty much to ourselves. set up our mexican blanket and sat down under the redwood trees to eat our sandwiches...they were delicious! took a couple of super cute pictures of the mister and just lazed around until the sun started to set. we packed up and went on our way back to bart. when we got off bart halfway home through the neighborhood i realized i didn't have our camera bag...I LEFT MY FAVORITE MINOLTA CAMERA ON BART!!!!!!!!!!! we brought two cameras and i was somewhat relieved that the other camera wasn't in it. i would have felt even worse if it was. i am so upset for leaving it on bart, it seems i can never get pictures of the mister for some reason :( right when i got home i filled a lost item report and have been checking my email and phone every second in hopes that someone has contacted me that they have our camera. i still feel so horrible, i mean it is just a thing and i can buy another one but i am one of those people that consistently is loosing something...so i have no pictures of our day in the sun...oh well it was a great day anyways!

but before we went into the deli we stopped at ruby's garden which has the cutest kids wear. our little niece, clementine is turning 2 this year and both saw these really cute super hero capes that we couldn't pass up so we bought her one! we were going to get the eye mask & wrist guards but they didn't have one that matched her cape so we left our # so the own could contact us when they scome in....isn't it cute!!!!!!! i can't wait to give it to her so she can run around like a maniac in it! she is going to be the cutest little superhero ever!!!!!!

happy as a clam

happy friday everyone! cheers to a short work week, YAHOO!! i want to thank everyone for the most wonderful comments on my last post! i was a little nervous to post about the bike and i was so delighted with the responses, so again many many thanks to you all!!

so as tradition should have it the mister met me at bart yesterday and we wheeled our way to thrift town where we got some great stuff. the mister got two really great jackets and some blue bike spandex, can't WAIT to see him wear those bad boys ;D and i got 2 cute blue dresses of which you can see bits of it in the below picture. but since i was so pumped on bike embroidery i made a bee line to the frame section and grabbed some frames and to my surprise there was a TON of bags of embroidery floss...fate right? so i grabbed a bag which had some new colors i didn't have which will be nice for custom orders :) i plan on making another one this weekend and this time the mister will not get his way no matter how cute he is...

oh and found this super cute sterling silver bracelet with flowers carved on it :D yay!

i hope everyone has a great weekend, i will be getting my hands dirty with grease as i fix ursula up :) can't wait to share my bike chick tip with you next week and some new skirts i plan on making on sewing sunday!
