i will be closing my etsy store on may 1st – july 4th (custom orders will no longer be taken after april 1rst). i will need a few weeks to prepare for france . . . to make new aprons, to gather supplies, to tie up loose ends, and to bid my adieus.
i just spent 5 days in new york. i always find great inspiration there and in the overwhelming amounts of things to do, eat, and see. there are museums + galleries galore and and an endless sea of cute restaurants and boutiques. i even find inspiration on the streets, literally . . .
i recently did a collaboration with jess brown. she makes these incredibly lovely handmade dolls using recycled + antique fabrics/findings. my handmade porcelain picnic set is fully functional, so your little ones can have their own little tea party. the set comes with 1 pitcher, 2 cups and 2 dishes. two for tea anyone ?
last night i went to the oakland art murmur with my friend pouké. this is really a fun thing to do on the first friday night of every month. 25 galleries are open within walking distance of each other, food trucks, street art, music, people, beautiful weather = loads of fun. i was quite drawn to this installation at hatch gallery.
i recently designed the logo for this new and lovely restaurant in san francisco called PLOW. fresh. seasonal. delicious food. and a beautifully designed space. maxine + joel learned some of their best tricks from working at oliveto, 42 degrees and campton place . . .
it’s time to start thinking about your valentine. although everyday should really be valentine’s day, it’s nice to give your sweetheart just a little memento . . . a small object that will remind them of your love every day. i have just a few of these left in my shop.
