penny presses and fun-house mirrors

Today I got to meet up with the lovely Sonja, and go somewhere that I have wanted to go to for a very long time in San Francisco, the Conservatory of Flowers. It was humid and beautiful inside, and we talked about going there every day in the summer with books and embroidery projects and sketchpads and brewing jasmine tea in front of the koi ponds and venus fly traps. The special exhibit this month included an old carnival style section, with photobooths, goofy mirrors, and memorabilia penny presses!

There was also some impromptu daisy chain making involved on our way back to the train... I can't wait to get my actual photographs developed. x
