WILD CHILD

continuing to gather work for my upcoming show at Paxton Gate Curiosities for Kids...  Come to the opening July 6th!!!

Afternoon Wandering

Spent the last two afternoons wandering in the Mission after work and came across this etched (or carved?) concrete. I thought it was a nice detail, a happy discovery punctuating the somber grey sidewalk of Valencia St. I love the unexpected beauty a simple design can embody, especially when it is found by chance, by merely glancing down on a busy urban street!

A Day in the City

Spent the day in SF with my friend Alicia. We started at her house with a breakfast of crepes sprinkled with sugar and a squeeze of meyer lemon juice made by her husband.... they were amazing!!!!



Headed down to the street to Arch to check out art supplies, then to SCRAP for a treasure hunt...

After a walk down Valencia, and a delicious lunch at Papalote's we stumbled upon this wonderful shop appropriately named Gypsy Honeymoon. I found a few beautiful pieces there including a vintage still life oil for a bargain! The proprietor, Gabrielle Ekedal, is the fourth owner and treasurer hunter Gypsy Honeymoon has had in its 17 years open. Gabrielle is warm and welcoming and has created a beautiful store full of delicate vignettes and rare findings. Its a truly unique collection, reasonably priced and thoughtfully, artfully crafted. I can't wait for a return visit!!!
