I have always dreamt of being able to go back and live in another time, and this film taken from a streetcar driving down Market Street in San Francisco gives me the feeling of doing just that! I love the chaos of the street- and all of the characters you see from the streetcar! {That’s the Ferry Building at the very end!} Thanks for sending me here, Tablehopper!
The Twitter party, that is! I have been urging my friends and clients to join us on Twitter- it’s really like a fun cocktail party where you can chat with friends and make new ones! Drop by whenever you like, see pretty things, have a laugh, and wake up the next morning without a nasty hangover! Today I reached an even 1,000 followers on Twitter and I am truly honored and tickled that you {my Twitter friends} have joined me! If you haven’t yet, find me here.

These charming “tea wit” cards were created by the multi-talented Susan Arnot, who I was lucky enough to run into at a charming Boxing Day party this past weekend. I recently bought one of her Christmas cards here…which was so beautiful it was hard to part with!
We ended 2009 with the Ruby Press Christmas Party at Crown & Crumpet yesterday…yay!! {And don’t be fooled by these party pics from the tea room- there was plenty of champagne flowing as well!} What a great way to end the year- with our fabulous team. Thanks so much for all that you do- Angela, Kate, Terra, and Kadie! We wouldn’t be Ruby Press without you! And to our blog readers- we may not have met the majority of you, but we feel like we know you. Thanks so much for checking in with us each day and for your sweet and thoughtful comments! We’re all really looking forward to a wonderful 2010 together!
xxMelissa and Sam
P.S. Wanna see the photos I took at the party on my iPhone? {These professional shots are from the fabulous Kristen Loken!} Follow me on Twitter- I’ll be posting them today!
If anyone is scrambling to buy a VERY last-minute Christmas gift, allow me point you in the right direction. I’ve been dying to check out photographer Lauren Dukoff’s book Family since it released a few months ago. It features candid yet striking shots of musicians Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Entrance, Bat for Lashes, Vetiver, and many more–an incredibly creative “family” of folks that are pretty stylish both on and off the stage.

Okay, when I started reading this post about Birdbath taking over the old Vesuvio Bakery space, I almost cried- but when I read a little further down and learned that out of respect for this iconic 89 year old New York City Bakery, Birdbath {a green bakery} kept the entire facade intact {including signage!!} my frown turned into a huge smile! Bravo Birdbath!!
{A vintage postcard of Vesuvio! Now really, how many bakeries get their own postcard? If you don’t live in NYC, you may still recognize this storefront- it’s been included in many fashion shoots over the years. Image from here.}
