Best Wishes

Wow - I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted anything.   No excuses except that it's been busy and I have been thinking about what I want the blog to be going forward.   I have an idea and will make up my mind before January 1:)

In the meantime, I wish everyone a wonderful time with friends and family.   May you share laughter and way to much good food!   Thank you for all your fabulous support!

It is a gorgeous sunny Fall day in LA today and we love how the store is looking!  We are packing all the fun and goodness in for the season so I took some pics this morning.

Beautiful handcrafted dishes by Cynthia Vardhan and some very in charge bulldog banks!

Shop Shelves

It's been a busy couple of weeks in the shop as we stock the shelves for the season.   Endless boxes unpacked, a trip North to the beautiful Paso Robles area to do some vintage shopping and things are starting to come together.  Next week is online store updating week...

The color and depth of the work of San Francisco-based artist, Francesca Pera is stunning.   She uses multiple mediums to create pattern and contrast.  Wow!

New In The Shop

We have been busy in the shop adding lots of new art and furniture and getting things ordered for the season so I took a little break from blogging.   Here are some pics of some of the things that have meandered into the shop in the past couple of weeks.   I am loving everything.
