Hello friends, it’s the weekend! I’ve returned home to SF and have some city exploring and a date night ahead. Tomorrow night we are going to see a music and video mixing show. Who would have thought that this idea of video mixing would have such deeps roots…looks like this pic dates back to the 60′s.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead of you.

Rainy day in Fredricksburg, Virginia, 1948. Guy Gillette.
Welcome to your weekend, friends! It’s been a long week for me; I had to make an unexpected trip to Seattle, but I’m glad I’m here now. Emergency trips are terrible, and jeez I hope I never have to do that again. Luckily SF is only a short hop away…and thank goodness for Virgin America.
Call me crazy, but I love Seattle weather. It’s been drizzly and gray here, and I’m eating it up…that along with everything in the kitchen. It’s the perfect hibernation weather and I’m making the most of it before I return home. I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead of you filled with your favorite weather and lots of good food.
PS – I’m loving this photo by Guy Gillette. So sweet, but also kind of sad. Thank goodness for the Monroe Gallery. They’re amazing and I love their site and blog. I see lots of others using their photos, but never a photo credit. So many of my nostalgia Friday photos have come from them, so this is a thank you to them and their great collection of photos.
Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have a great weekend ahead of you. It’s super rainy and cold here, but we have a date night planned for Saturday, and I’m still figuring out what the menu will be on Sunday. It’s Easter, so maybe a nice brunch and some more Cadbury mini-eggs.
For this week’s dose of nostalgia, and with sort of an Easter-y flair, I thought I’d post one of my all-time favorite Disney cartoons. (I used to wear a hat for Easter brunch at the Penrose Room when I was young, hence the Easter-hat connection.)
From 1946 with vocals by the Andrews Sisters, this is one of Disney’s shorts that was shown in theaters during WWII. Do you remember Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet?
Let’s start the weekend off with “The King of Cool,” shall we?
I hope you have a killer weekend ahead. I hear there’s a Latin Salsa music festival this weekend, so I’m hoping to make it out to that tomorrow afternoon, and thankfully the weather’s supposed to be beautiful. Then I’m off to my friend Eve’s dance show, followed by drinks and snacks with the whole gang. It’s going to be a great Saturday.
What do you have planned? I hope you’re able to unwind, go crazy…or maybe have a healthy mix of both.

Thank goodness the weekend is just about here. I had quite a week, complete with two hours of hell at the DMV (there was some great people-watching though).
Do you ever feel like this guy here? I have been lately. Sometimes it seems that even the smallest things can add up and weigh you down. Nothing that a nice relaxing weekend can’t solve though. The weather here in San Francisco has been beautiful the past few days, so I think I’ll be making my way to Golden Gate park to soak up some Vitamin D.
What are you up to? Hope you have something wonderful planned.

Welcome to the weekend, friends. What are you up to? Don’t be shy, I see you there…your comments make my day.
I’ll be taking a note from Audrey with some reading and snacking on tap-I’m craving a good snack board. Hopefully I can get up early enough to make it to the farmer’s market, and maybe even swing by Tartine Bakery for some fresh bread in the afternoon. Funny, as I started this I wasn’t quite sure what I’d be up to, but I think I have a plan now. Terrific!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello friends, and welcome to your weekend! Hope you have a lovely Saturday and Sunday. Isn’t this photo dreamy? Have you ever been on a shopping spree and left with bags and bags of wonderful things? I must admit I had quite a day at Neiman’s last big sale, but now that I’m officially on a budget I’ll get my shopping endorphin fix from this beautiful photo. Funny, it’s actually working, I feel euphoric already.
P.S. Aren’t the wrapped and bound packages wonderful.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Liz has the right idea here, I’m looking forward to a nice Sunday nap.

I’m a product of the early 80′s so I totally flipped when I came across this Snoopy Sno-Cone machine the other day. I don’t remember all that much about this, but it seems so familiar. Do you remember seeing this when you were a kid?

I have a three-day weekend ahead and I’m ecstatic! I’m going to savor every second because I don’t think our next holiday is until May.
What are you up to this weekend? So far we have farmer’s market perusing on tap for Saturday, and an Alfred Hitchcock movie marathon on Sunday. My sweetie hasn’t seen very many, and it’s been a quite a while for me, so it will be a nice date night. We just can’t take any more bad movies, so we’re turning to the classics and we have quite a few in the line-up to choose from: North by Northwest, Notorious (my favorite!), Vertigo, and Dial M for Murder. (Ha, what a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.)
If you have a Valentine I hope you are able to have a wonderful day with the one you love. If you’re flying solo this year, live it up and treat yourself to a date night!
