the big announcement
Hello friends,
I am happy to announce that I will be partnering with Rena Tom to open the San Francisco location of Rare Device.
We will be located at 1845 Market Street between Guerrero and Valencia. We'll open in October and hold our opening party Thursday, October 25, with an art show by Kelly Lynn Jones.
Rena and I have been scheming this for months. Our shop, which will feature well designed, beautiful items, modern home decor, books and indie clothing, will be much much larger than the Brooklyn store and also house a gallery with once a month art shows.
I will continue to work in my studio along with running the shop with Rena, and make and sell my work at other shops and galleries.
***
Expect the unexpected.
I am 39 and my life is starting over.
I am a happy happy girl today.
Oh wow, congrats! I'm sure this knew chapter of your life will be a great one.
So jealous, by the way ;-) Best of luck!
