The Ferry Building Marketplace

  While, on my trip to California, I discovered the most wonderful Shops at the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco.  I could virtually shop here forever!)   Sur La Table  carries everything you can imagine for creative entertaining.  My eyes were wide and my "Gimme Gimme" thoughts ran rampant!  Unfortunately my checkbook didn't allow any impulse buying genes to kick into gear!  Their window featured an adorable Hand Painted Family of Rabbits from the Keepsake Collection and a two tiered wrought iron Easter egg stand complete with hand-painted bunnies and chicks. 

  A colorful display of Anodized Ice Cream Bowls  also caught my eye.   

  Other shops:

Far West Fungi carries a wide selection of culinary mushrooms both fresh and dried.

The Cowgirl Creamery  is an Artisan Cheese Shop.

Kingdom of Herbs  specializes in an array of botanical products.

Tsar Nicolai Caviar is a concept I have never seen before...a  "caviar café".

Frog Hollow Farm sells a variety of fresh-from-the-farm organic seasonal fruits.

Miette  is a dainty little pastry shop, inspired by the patisseries of Paris. Check out their cake gallery!  They have the cutest little "Princess Cake" which is always pale green with a pink rose!

And many many more.  (For a list of the all the unique shops in the building click  here.  Have FUN!  I did!
