Halloween Related Post No. 2: Pumpkins
It’s tradition for me to not attend popular, famed festivals. Be it work, school, or utter laziness, if something awesome and happenin’ is happening, chances are, for me, it’s not gonna happen. Today, however, I went outside of my comfort zone. I attended the 41st Annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival! Angela posing in front … Read more
Halloween Related Post No. 1
Greetings, ghouls and goblins! I haven’t written in quite some time (hell-O, last semester of college!) so I’m here with the first of MANY Halloween related posts. As this is my favorite made-up holiday of all time, I decided to break it down into a few posts because there are so many wonderful facets of … Read more
Treasure Island Has Festivals, Cheap Housing, and Fleas
Here’s something I just found out: Treasure Island has a two-day flea market on the last weekend of every month. Who would’ve thought that a man-made island with only one bus route and zero supermarkets could hold a treasure trove of goodies? September 24th and 25th (this weekend!) will be your next chance to have … Read more

London: Smugness and Cuteness Abound
The lovely people over at poppytalk have alerted me of a rare gem located in Camden Passage: it’s called SMUG, a “quirky lifestyle store” specializing in houseware, accessories, and apparel: Wandering through the back streets of Angel in London’s Islington borough I was delighted to discover a new to me decor, lifestyle and apparel store … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick
Autumn is upon us! (Or, if you live in San Francisco, it never left.) This means that Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is just around the corner. And honestly, if we didn’t have the three best holidays come one after the other, these next few months would be super dreary. While Etsy seems to think that … Read more
Granny Loves Mori
You know, being the person that I am, sometimes it’s really, really hard to not make a reference to Happy Days each time I write up a post. Because I know that they will not come out quite as good as how they sound in my head. Anyway, this isn’t about my terrible choices in article titles. This … Read more
DIY Hump Day Project: Dreamcatchers
I’ve been looking to decorate my super bland (probably haunted) bathroom, but I’m stuck. Hang some framed wall art? Nah, condensation on the glass. Posters? Paper garlands? Meh, they’re all over the apartment. Then I thought about decals, but they’re a little out of my budget right meow. So what’s a poor (resourceful) Biddy to … Read more
Not to Get All Domestic On Y’All, But
My inner June Cleaver is coming out. I don’t mean the pearls and the pumps. (Or the misogyny.) I’m talking about baking. You heard me – IT’S ANOTHER DESSERT POST. Unlike the last one, this one is going to feature an actual chef who actually went to school for this shit. So, you know. No box … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: The Cake is a Lie
THE RAINBOW CAKE WAS AN IMMENSE SUCCESS! Sort of. Sure, we used box cake, didn’t have a proper icing tool, and the top fell apart, but come on. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Or whatever. Does destination and journey mean the same thing? Do I need to switch those two around? How the … Read more
