Love Ya Valencia

Dad and I took a little trip down to Valencia St.
I would definitely suggest going there when in SF.
They have the funkiest shops.
There's Paxton Gate, which is a shop of wonders.
They have a lot of stuffed animals (not plush) and interesting plants and stones.
It's eccentric for sure.





Right next door is 826 Valencia. Another shop of wonders.
But these wonders are more piratey.
I believe that they have writing workshops for kids in the back of the shop.
It's really cool.
You could buy a message in a bottle, some folic acid, maps.
The best part is the drawers.
they have drawers up on the walls filled with little this and thats.
One is filled with buttons, one is filled with belt buckles, butter knives, adorably random.





There are so many other shoppes that I wish I could tell you about.
Maybe in another post.
But these two are my favorites. :)
