Glimpses from Unique SF

I am back from a whirlwind weekend at UniqueSF and am already prepping for the next show! Here are a few photos from the trip, which was an amazing time and I am so happy to be able to share honey my heart jewelry with the Bay Area.

 

Our booth!

 

 

One of the many interactive options for shoppers was free screen printed shirts. It was quite popular among attendees.

Our booth neighbor was Genevieve of le petit elefant! I heart her illustrations and was so happy to be able add some to my collection.

Another great option for Unique SF shoppers was the Digital Detox. This analog zone allowed shoppers to unplug, do some yoga, share stories, get their portrait drawn, and enjoy each others' company. It's such a great concept.

Chocolate by Wild Ophelia was my favorite treat. With ingredients sourced from all over the USA and options like Sweet Cherry Pecan and New Orleans Chili, the bars were uniquely tasty.

Happy to see our friends LOK'D.

Cute food plush by Jakc Designs.

And a few of my buys! I heart stationery.

Happy July from the honey my heart crew. We left our hearts in San Francisco.

Fizz & Frills Wedding Marketplace

We had visited San Francisco at the beginning of August to participate in fizz & frills: A Wedding Market Place. Held at blu bungalow on Union Street, fizz & frills was 2-day event hosted by Utterly Engaged and Lovely Jubilee that featured a pop up shop of independent designers, make up and hair stations, drinks and desserts, and wonderful conversations. It was such a stylish and well designed fete for brides and frill seekers.


The colors of the event were navy blue, coral, and creamy white. It is one of my favorite color combos and I liked seeing it in various details throughout the event.




Fizzy drinks!




Geronimo Balloons! I need one of these in my living room.


There were plenty of conversations, diy project, and a Q&A about being brides and the first year of marriage. I really loved the community aspect of it.


Sweet accessories for your wedding day carried in The Collection Event Studio. I totally wanted the coral clutch.


Over the Moon Vintage Rentals had lots of fun supplies, tags, accessories to decorate your venue. I'm even considering some for my table design.


Statement necklaces by Margaret Elizabeth.


Very awesome personalized boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen by Fritts Rosenow. Some favorites include a boom box, sailboat, Super Mario, and SF Giants logo with baseball bat. I love that this is extra flair for the men and can be worn over and over.


My table. When I heard the event was at blu bungalow I decided to change the colors my heart displays to shades of blue. It actually matched nicely with the light pink polka dot table cloth and paper flowers provided to us.


I have been so inspired since returning from fizz & frills. The design and details, caliber of event, and lovely ladies who created the event have made my August a month full of ideas and work towards the growth of honey my heart. I can't wait to work with them all again.

You can check out some amazing photos and a recap from the event in issue 16 (pg 104) of Utterly Engaged.

I Eat SF

As we gallivanted around the City two Saturdays ago, we ate at almost each place we visited. And how could we not? There is just too much yummy goodness to be enjoyed. Here are a few of my favorites!


Salumi cup from Boccalone! I loved all the different cured meats.


Crab breakfast burrito from SF Fish Company. Fresh sea food is so great.


Cupcakes from Citizen Cake were a must. The cookie cupcake was like eating a cookie with extra cake and frosting. We loved it.


Since the Nom Nom Truck opened a new truck in SF, we had to stop for some grilled pork bahn mi! It's always so nom worthy.


And since the truck was parked 10 feet from Smitten Ice Cream, we had to get a little sweetness to end the meal.


A small salted caramel made right in front of us with liquid nitrogen! Loved how light the flavor was.


Sushi in Japan town. Uni is my fave.


And our last meal of the trip was curry at Osha Thai!

Hooray for so much deliciousness, and for walking everywhere so that we could eat everywhere ;)

What are your favorite eateries in SF?

Chantal Guillon

Prior to our visit to San Francisco I made a list of patisseries and bakeries that carried macarons. As of late macarons have been my go-to snack and favorite indulgence, and I was ready to taste the treats available in the City. We had visited a few shops and purchased a lot of yummy macs, but my favorites came from Chantal Guillon.

Nestled in SF's Hayes Valley, this wonderful shop is so chic and welcoming.






I love that the shop is solely dedicated to macarons and teas. They do what they love and they do it very well.




Super cute business cards!




My box of deliciousness: green tea, pistachio, hazelnut, salted caramel, orange, and bourbon vanilla. They are both airy and dense, and chewy with just enough sweetness. I'm actually rationing them out to last me the entire week ;)

What's your favorite macaron place and flavor?

Happy Friday!

I Heart SF

We headed to SF last weekend to participate in the Fizz & Frills Wedding Pop Up Shop. Since we were selling on Sunday, our Saturday was free so we explored the city! It is such a beautiful city.


AT&T Park. Wish we had time to catch a Giants game.


We arrived in the city and it was sunny and beautiful. Here's a view of the bay from behind the Ferry Building. Fog is starting to roll in on the left and the Bay Bridge is on the right.




Art sculpture/fountain.


Patricia's Green.


Brighter Faster. This is one of my favorite street art pieces of the trip.


Cute corgi spotted waiting in line for the Nom Nom SF truck. There were so many dogs on walks around the city. I loved seeing them.


Strolling through Fillmore and passing by Citizen Cake! More on this and the other food we enjoyed in a later post :)


Fresh flowers from Le Bouquet on Union Street.


Mural at our J-pop style hotel room at the Hotel Tomo.

I love SF and have been day dreaming all week about returning for a visit real soon, hopefully for a longer stay. And I do think I left my heart there :)
