Popping up in Oakland
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Here are a few snapshots from the Poppy pop-up shop that happened last weekend. We showed the Vessel rug and the Lace rug. Check out the Poppy pop-up shop for a list of all of the artists that exhibited. thepoppyshop.com
While we were visiting Oakland, we made a stop at Lola who carries our rugs from time to time. Lola has an incredible selection of beautiful objects including the lamp above which I’m madly in love with. Check out their website here for a taste but it’s worth making a trip just to go there. Next door to Lola is a fantastic place to have lunch called Summer Kitchen and Bake Shop which features some classics like fried chicken and cobblers.
We wish you peace and love on this very special day and every day. I started the day, as usual with my local Pacifica radio station listening to Democracy Now which played Martin Luther Kings’ famous, “I have been to the Mountain Top” speech, given the day before he died. Here is a link to the speech,
We love when our customers send in snapshots of their rugs in action. It doesn’t look like those two pups will be returning to their dog beds any time soon. The spring green ring rug and deep blueberry upholstered chairs are perfectly at home in this mid century setting. I love how the foliage is framed by the large windows, bringing in another note of green. On the subject of green and purple, I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to share this image of one of our more livelier attired friends. She’s definitely not afraid of any color. Enjoy.
