My waist bag at Peapod fabrics’ blog July 19, 2010

Still remember my waist bag (sewing project #2)? I got the fabrics of my waist bag from Peapod Fabrics in SF. I showed this waist bag to Yoshko, the owner of Peapod Fabrics recently. I am so honored to have my bag photo mentioned in her Sew and Tell blog. Check out the link below!

As Yoshko mentioned in her blog, my waist bag can become individual shoulder pouches too. Check out the pictures below to see how the individual shoulder pouches look like!

Swedish Design – FromSthlm.com July 13, 2010

I am a fan of Scandinavia design. I was at Stockholm, Sweden several years ago. After my trip, I started falling in love with Swedish design.

It is my honor to meet Tiffany, the owner of FromSthlm.com, in November 2009 at her first SF trunk show. FromSthlm.com is a shop and a blog. Her shop sells beautiful everyday items by independent Swedish designers. She features a new designer and offer their freshest, most interesting designs in limited editions every month.

Dine about Town Dinner @ Vicoletto

Vicoletto is another Dine about Town restaurant that my friend and I had dinner. Below is the list of food that we tried.

Antipasti

Mozzarella Burrata: voted best burrata in Italy, imported from the southern Italian region of Puglia. Served with cherry tomato and arugula salad. This is very yummy!!!

Salumi: San Daniele prosciutto, sweet coppa, and Felino salame

PASTE DELLA CASA

Ravioli con aragosta: house made lobster ravioli, sautéed prawns and cherry tomato brandy cream sauce

Tagliarini al nero di seppia: house made squid ink pasta, fresh Monterey squid, bay scallops, bread crumbs in a light cherry tomato white wine sauce

DESSERT

Raspberry panna cotta

Soffiato al cioccolato: soufflé style chocolate cake with crème fraiche gelato

I enjoyed the food here, but the portion is a little bit small. If you are a light eater and love Italian food, give Vicoletto a try.
