Francesca Kennedy's jewelry featured at Poetica

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Bay Area Jewelry designer Francesca Kennedy!   The Poetica midsummer soiree featured her latest pieces to our customer's delight.   I'm a fan of her work  - and clearly many others are quickly becoming fans as well.  Her pieces continue to add the perfect compliment with brass, pyrite, semi-precious stones, talismans and pearls.   

In the photo dear friend Eric Johnson visiting with Francesca the night of our party.  Look inside "the shop" for a sample of her work.

Winter Sun - A New Year Begins at Poetica

Greetings!   I'm here in San Francisco on yet another Beautiful day.....  This is unusual, especially during el nino years.  They say my holiday photo post and e.e.cummings poem about snowfall were the only signs of snow in Northern California....

Nevertheless, it is Winter.  A time of quieter, shorter days as nature rests and restores prior to Spring.   Poetica honors this season with unique and beautiful objects for your home and soul.   New furniture arrivals such as two elegant Baker Hamilton mid-century Art Deco bedside table and petite chest of drawers, a handsome Regency-style desk and two extension wings, a Mahogany sarcophagus style Napoleon-era tea caddy and a pristine 1950's solid chrome coctail shaker.  Beautiful and interesting!

That's just a peek   -- there is more to share.

My commitment to keep it interesting and select continues - come see the new additions, vignettes and say hello! 

Traci at Poetica

Snowfall

gently (very whiteness:absolute peace, never imaginable mystery) descend

May the peaceful beauty of winter surround you and your loved ones.

Blessings, Poetica
