It had little dark blue fish on the base. I might be breaking some unknown color rules, who knows? I thought about that lamp for weeks. And went back and bought it. Not much more than I'd pay at World Market or Target, honestly, but more charming. I'm so glad I did. I'll be back - they're within walking distance of home and have lots of lovely items. Staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Did I mention how much I love my lamp with its little fish pattern?

The owner was delightful and knew her stock very well. I found everything to be well priced for the quality.

There is a place which honors San Francisco and the Richmond ( the District and not the city of Richmond). This place has art which honors the monuments of San Francisco and the style of San Francisco on clothing. It is called Fleetwood. On a Summer stroll on Clement street I landed inside Fleetwood. Inside you will find hats and jewelry along with shirts and seaters with prints that represent San Francisco from the Richmond District to the Golden Gate Bridge to the Sunset Dunes. You will find posters with San Francisco related prints along with tote bags. Fleetwood is also an art gallery and also has screen printing workshops. This is a good place to shop for clothing that is artistic which has a connection to San Francisco. It's interesting that weather in SF is "misunderstood"and to try to fight does "no good "so gear up when it's hot or cold in the Richmond "neighborhood "in SF at place called" Fleetwood" Go on a coffee run , walk or "jog"and you will find in SF place so you can yap and have a "dialogue" about what your next social media "vlog"and you will be surrounded sometimes like on 4th of July "Karl the Fog"

The sound bath itself was so relaxing that I definitely nodded off a couple of times. By the time the event ended, the sun was setting over the property, which was really nice to see. Overall, it was a relaxing evening, and I'm glad I finally had a chance to visit.

The only reason I knocked off a star or half a star was regarding their choice of food vendor taco stand, Tacos don Pepe, they had during the Memorial Day weekend. They charged $30 for a set of three meat tacos and an agua fresca. There was barely any meat or content. And what really put a bad taste in our mouths was that they were already hiking up the price when we were in line, but by the time we were picking up the taco, they were repricing the tacos for $34 for three with a whopping $9 a taco individually.

Sprig (affiliated with Bennett valley gardens )is a different animal entirely. Located in the heart of Bennett Valley, this place is a niche concept that just works. The layout is clean, modern, and intentional--none of that cluttered chaos you find at the big-box stores. It feels more like a curated gallery for your outdoor (and indoor) life than a nursery. Their selection of plants is healthy and vibrant, but it's the pots and gifts that really set them apart. They've managed to source high-end, contemporary designs that actually feel unique. Whether you're looking for a statement piece for a San Francisco terrace or something low-profile for a Santa Rosa backyard, you'll find it here. The team is fantastic--knowledgeable, accessible, and they clearly take pride in the space. It's the kind of store that makes a neighborhood better.
