Dear Diane,
Catherine is indeed a gem! I love it when someone can not only think outside the box; also pull it off brilliantly!

Dear April--Dear Peggy-

Yes...these would be excellent guides for your visit to San Francisco.

I love the range and originality of this list...a hidden bar that makes artistic drinks, two great interiors shops, a pizza truck (stylish)...and a hideaway...it's all good.

I receive the following great message: Great Idea, Michael Yomtov!

such a rich post! all beautiful or delicious, or both.

i wish hudson/grace did a cream soup spoon with a bamboo handle. i had them years ago from hammacher-schlemmer with stainless round bowls; they went the way of all good things. but the bamboo handles for cold soups were quite smart.

hope you are getting ready for a good weekend, diane.

Hi Naomi-

Thanks for your lovely comment. I love your blogs and like your wit.
Come and visit us in California!
And be sure to stay in touch, DIANE

Dear Terri-

Catherine is terrific. I've been friends forever--and watched her working for the Wiseman group and for Nicole Hollis, and then she was ready to make the giant leap. She launched her company and got married all around the same time last year.
So glad you liked this post! You'd enjoy all of her favorites...not the usual things. March and Hudson Grace are three blocks from each other...so you could see them both in the same afternoon. In all cases of these picks--the owners are great. Greater than great...really. Trick Dog...so original.
I hope all is well and that spring has sprung in Canada! for you at least...best DIANE

So nice to meet this brave young thing and see her...

So nice to meet this brave young thing and see her gorgeous rooms! Also loved the list of IT places and spaces. I'd love to visit Hudson Grace. We really must make a SF trip before long. xo's Terri

Your posts are always so informative and I know so much work has gone into them rather than a quick copy and past quip! I really enjoyed learning some new talents that I would have not learned about here in London. Thank you.
