Last Sunday Deanna and I took the day to visit the San Francisco Gift Show. First, it is always wonderful to spend time in San Francisco for whatever reason. Second, though the show was small compared to what we will see in New York later this week, we had a wonderful time discovering some new possibilities for the store. One of the items that will soon be in the store is pictured above. The Makana soy candles are made by a small “mom and pop” company down in southern California and will be available in a number of different fragrances including a “non-fragrance”.We also had an opportunity to visit with a number of our current suppliers including Menus and Music – cookbooks with music, Café d’Amore – delicious hot cocoa and sipping chocolate drinks, Tampopo - Japanese tea pots and cups, Holztiger – wonderful German wooden animals, Green Hill Music - great music CDs, Kubla – for those beautiful little boxes, and several others. So you can count on the fact that many of our most popular lines will continue to have a presence in the store.
In conjunction with the gift show the Gourmet Housewares Show was going on. Again we saw lots of great stuff, but we just aren’t a kitchen store. We did see some gift items that may find their way to our store.
