VIN12: a lovely evening

I always have so much fun at the monthly VIN12 events. Invariably I meet lovely people, get to admire an incredibly well-curated art collection, and of course, the wines can’t be beat. Here are some pictures from September’s Napa In Autumn event.

it felt like christmas but it wasn't.

and so it began...

as the evening wore on....

Needles and Pens

Needles and Pens is a great little boutique/gallery on 16th Street between Dolores and Guerrero, chock-full of work by independent designers, writers, and artists (including me). It’s a great place for gift shopping.  Check out their website to get the scoop on new shows going up all the time: Needles and Pens.
