One of my kids found a new home

So its Saturday in SOMA after this morning's rain and waiting on the second round of showers later today, and I just sold my favorite picture here on 10th Street, and sent it to a nice home in Noe Valley with a couple Hillary Williams prints we framed.  I'll miss the "Asian Still Life" by C. Chandler Ross.  I think I was secretly hoping it wouldn't sell and then I would buy it and take it home.  It had a beautiful bamboo moulding and a fabric wrapped mat on it.  It greeted me everyday, and was a personal highlight on the wall, but with the big sale we're having through Christmas (20% off all pre-framed non-original art and mirrors), I expect I'll be sayng goodbye to a lot more of my little kiddies.

It's nice to think of them hanging in a new home though.  That is the point! Can't help but have a little separation anxiety.  

Got all the Holiday decor up and trying to hold back until Monday before I start jamming the Christmas music.  Plenty of stuff for home and office this year.  I have spent the last few weeks collecting all sorts of stuff for any budget, so come check it out!

The development of the new apartment towers on 10th Street, across from our SoMa store, is progressing nicely.  The 19-floor tower (closest, draped) is nearly, well, 19 floors high.  In the distance, the 38-floor tower grows day by day.
