Happiest of New Year’s to each and all of you and a heartfelt thank you
for continuing to tune into sfgirlbybay. The new site should be up in
late January, which I hope will surprise and inspire you.

These images above represent bits and pieces of my hopes, my dreams,
new places and random feelings I hope to experience in the New Year.
See you all next week! xo, Victoria

I’m Outta Here.

I’ll be gone visiting family for the rest of the week. And I’ll see y’all
back here on Monday the 5th, after the holidays. Much love, and the
happiest of holidays and happy new year to all! Yours truly, sfgirlbybay.

Sfgirlbybay/Bliss Holiday Photo Exchange

Hello!  It’s me, Mrs. French from bliss.  I was honored and thrilled when the brilliant Victoria agreed to do a little photo exchange on Christmas Eve.  I don’t bake, so a cookie exchange was out of the question…Anyway, I think that the holiday season means different things to different people.  Some view it as a time of year that involves hopping gleefully from celebration to celebration, while others look at it as a time of peace, or possibly a quiet time to share with friends and familes.  Photos are perfect examples of the many interpretations…I have arranged mine by first sharing a few of my own and then sharing some of my favorites taken by my talented friends on flickr… 
For links visit my flickr photo stream….

Regardless of how or if you celebrate and interpret this time of year may you find peace and love.  Thank you so much for joining me for a glimpse into my interpretation…I am dying to see what Victoria comes up with (most definitely eclectic and magical)…head on over to bliss and check it out….xo mrs. french

The Wish List.

To take much better photographs.

People always want to know what you’d like for Christmas. I would honestly love some world peace, a better economy for those who are struggling, homes for the homeless, the end of George W….you know the usual things we all hopefully wish for. But if you’re gonna twist my arm, here’s a few things I wouldn’t mind in my life. They say, “if you’re gonna wish, wish big”. So here goes…

A vintage Typewriter. This one’s a cool color, too!

An Eichler home of my very own.

A never ending supply of art books.

A romantic trip to Paris with my favorite person.

A vintage Dodge Dart. Preferably a convertible.

To be able to design and sew clothes really well.

To have had more time with my dog Cooper.

To really know how to surf and do it all the time.
