Hello! I want to share with you another fabulous shop we visited in San Francisco during spring break, but first a quick reminder that today is the final day to sign up for the Easter basket swap. Please see the post below for details, and email me your information if you would like to join. I'm excited, there are some really talented ladies that have joined in!
Now, about this fabulous little shop. I have had the pleasure of visiting San Francisco four times now, and each time, I have made it a point to stop in at Timeless Treasures. This year I was especially excited as my oldest daughter was with us and being a major, she is in love with typography, which is exactly what this shop specializes in.
Do you see all of those bins? They're packed with vintage letters and numbers in all sorts of sizes and shapes!
A little closer look. The owner Joan, is one of the most welcoming and helpful shop owners I have had the pleasure to meet. It is always nice to chat with her. She has a passion for typography and it shows throughout her shop.
Joan also carries a great selection of antiques and vintage items, handmade jewelry, gifts, and greeting cards.
I love the creative way she displays her greeting cards! I am thinking of trying this out in my studio for inventory.
Pardon the glare through the window, but I loved the framed letters.
They do not have a retail website (though they should!), but if you're in the San Francisco area this shop is a must stop. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

I miss living in the Bay Area as we used to go to the City all the time, just hopped on BART.
Now it's a 2-hour drive each way . . . not that far but still a drive . . . . BUT next time I am there I will be sure to go to Timeless Treasures!
Have a great weekend! I hope to ge some creating in . . ..
