weekend recap - snow in march.


i thought i would share a few photos from this past weekend. my girlfriend and myself had a hankering to do some antiquing and the random springtime blizzard was not going to stop us. we headed down to cherokee street for the afternoon. i found some fantastic antique jewelry for only $15! i'm thinking i might need to open an etsy shop one of these days and share some of my finds.


after scoring the perfect wooden crate for the back of my bike complete with a hinged lid, (pictures to come) we decided we needed to perk up with something warm. we popped in the mud house and had some delicious espresso. seriously the best americano i have had in a long time and the brunch menu looked amazing, i can't wait to go back. i can vouch for their baked goods - only crumbs left on both of our plates.


friday night i was introduced to sanctuaria's cocktail club! have you heard about it? once a member you can order from their "members only" list of cocktails. there's 150 cocktails on this list, so to make it slightly more manageable the bar equips you with your own mead compostion notebook to keep track of which ones you have tried and take notes. i've already devised my own rating system based on taste and presentation :) turns out the notebooks are also great for playing elementary games such as M.A.S.H. and the dot game - not that i did this... membership also includes discounts on their events, including cocktails by candlelight (exactly what it sounds like). sanctuaria is a tapas bar in the grove district.
