KitTea Cat Cafe, San Francisco
I love the wave of cat cafes that seem to be opening all around the country (and the world). When my friend Saira asked if I wanted to check out Kit Tea in San Francisco, I jumped on it! To be honest, I’m more of a dog person, but I was still intrigued by the prospect…

Afternoon Tea at Tal Y Tara’s, San Francisco
On a lovely December day, I met up with my friend Saira for afternoon tea at Tal-y-Tara in the Richmond District of San Francisco. Tal-y-Tara is a unique combination of tea shop and polo shop– and it’s not just the decor. They actually sell plenty of stuff for all your equestrian needs. It was a fun, eclectic…

Best of 2015: Favorite Books
My love affair with reading blossomed in 2015, bolstered by a new purchase toward the end of the year: my kindle paperwhite, which I’ve lovingly named “Sassafras.” I already did most of my reading via the kindle app and free ebooks borrowed from my local libraries, but with my new kindle, I upgraded to a better…

Chefchaouen, Morocco
This is the final post of my five-part series on Morocco! As soon as we returned from our desert excursion and got back to Fes, we loaded up our car and continued north for another 4 hours to head to the town of Chefchaouen, known for its blue buildings. We wandered the blue alleys, collecting…

Desert Excursion, Morocco
When we booked the two-day one-night excursion from Fes to the desert, I don’t think it occurred to any of us to check how far away the desert was. Turns out, it’s about 7-8 hours each way. Far. But the four of us, Godwin, Liz, Justin, and I piled in to the car, and our…

Rebecca & David | Pagoda Leather Wedding Album
This album was a year in the making, from Rebecca and David’s wedding in November 2014, and it was totally worth the wait! We created one medium 10×10″ album and two 6″ minis for their parents. The mini albums are a perfect combination of great value and a smaller book, but at 6″ square, not…

Old Ladies Knitting Club
I’ve known how to knit and crochet since elementary school, and it’s often been a fun hobby to keep myself occupied in the winter. But about a year ago, I started to think it might be fun to turn this solitary activity into a club. So in February, I started it up: the Old Ladies’…

Fes, Morocco
It’s a maze of a city, with narrow, meandering alleys and high walls all around. We initially thought we might just wander and explore Fes ourselves, but as soon as we arrived and saw what we were in for, we quickly changed our minds and joined the walking tour that Godwin had booked for the next…

Elizabeth & Derek | Joaquin Miller Park | Oakland Engagement Photography
Elizabeth and Derek are a wonderful pair of old souls who share a love of rugby, architecture, old films, and their Golden Retriever Stella. I met up with them in the Oakland hills for their engagement session at Joaquin Miller Park. Despite an overcast day, we got to create some beautiful portraits lit up with personality. See…
