oh how i've always loved the idea of sister cities.

two great places, joined over sea & sky by the idea of common cultural & commercial ties.
this new rikrak studio series explores 2 sister cities @ a time,
and some of the handmaking lovelies that they share!

this week: sister cities #2
san francisco, usa
seoul, south korea

these are two cities i just adore.
san fransisco i've visited years ago on a wonderful family trip. what a vibrant, fabulous place. such great neighbourhoods, fabulous vistas, great people, & truly great arts & crafting!
and seoul, a city i lived near for about a year many moons ago.
oh seoul! i have so many fond memories of my almost daily trips into into town that year to meet up with
mr. rikrak for darling date picnics @ one of the many beautiful historical palaces in that great city...and so many great neighbourhoods in seoul, too! and such great handmaking!
so yay to sisters, sister cities, and the wonderful handmaking sisterhood who create
@ the heart of each city.

happy monday, nicies!
