Guest post from Andrea at got craft?


Hello! I was lucky enough to head to San Francisco and Los Angeles a few weeks ago to soak up some California sun. I hadn't been down there for awhile, so I figured it would be a good time to revisit a few of my favourite shops and share them with you lovely Poppytalk readers!



The Mission District in San Francisco has certainly changed since my last visit. I was headed to Tartine one day when I spotted Pot + Pantry. Of course, I had to stop and check it out after spotting their beautiful window signage that was hand painted by owner Donna Suh Wagemen. Formerly with Hello!Lucky, Donna took her letterpress skills and collaborated with The Aesthetic Union to create the Julia Child letterpress prints and with Molly M Designs to create an exclusive assortment of laser cut felt coasters (above).



A small kitchen boutique, Pot + Pantry specializes in new and gently used kitchenware. For those that love to cook, bake, and have a weakness for vintage kitchen items; Donna gathers some of the most beautiful kitchen accessories including foodie based magazines such as Sweet Paul and handmade products like those pencils (above) from Paper Pastries. Be sure to check out their events page for more info about upcoming workshops and special events!
