Another favorite shop of mine in San Francisco is BELL'OCCHIO, a tiny treasure trove of lovely rococo inspired treats and fancies! You may find beautiful 18th century letters, delicate pink opal earrings, powder puffs for a ladies vanity, paper mache boxes shaped like clam shells or bees, loose tea called l'opera and chocolate that makes you sing in your sleep... They also have one of the best selections of french fancy ribbons around!
