Ok ladies, several of you asked for a better picture when we did our self portraits the first week of Sally's Focusing on Life Photo Challenge. This one is for you. Recently I was out in San Francisco and I met up with my bloggy friend Kashmira. We did a little wandering and shopping in Burlingame (just 10 minutes south of San Francisco). We wandered in and out of stores, checking out jewelry (of course!). Kashmira even bought the cutest pair of pinched metal earrings ... maybe she'll show you all if you ask her?
What fun to meet her in person, and I have to say she is as sweet in person as she is in the blogosphere!! Ok now on to our challenge. Sally asked us to look for doors. Doors hold stories, they hold a way to a new adventure, they hold a memory.
Well she's right! Kashmira and I walked into a fun, eclectic shop where the front door was a split door with Frida Kahlo all over it. Oh yes. We were definately going into this shop. Fun things to explore and we both whipped out our cameras to capture our challenge for the week. But this picture here was taken by my daughter. Kashmira was so sweet to let her join our excursion. She loves to meet Mommy's bloggy friends.
I'll bet we're 'twinzies' for this week's reveal. What fun to get to know my bloggy friend Kashmira a little better. And word on the street is that she's going to make it to Bead Fest in August, so perhaps a few more of you will meet her too!
beautiful photo, very cool door, and an exciting day meeting Kashmira :-) you are two lucky ladies!
ReplyDeleteAw, how lovely both of you were able to meet up -- envy!! You are as adorable as I imagined. And that is a very cool door; Frida is one of my favourite artists :)
