Grand Opening: OBSOLETE, San Francisco

Last night I attended the grand opening of Obsolete's new showroom in San Francisco's Design District. I'm thrilled that they opened a second location in Northern California.

Obsolete has the most eclectic and unique objects d' art...

Luckily I took these photos early on, as it became jam-packed with people...

The grounds surrounding the showroom are beautiful....

Quotes from the likes of Eames and Chanel painted on the walls...love it...

My friend Karen enjoying the opening...

What a great quote from Aretha...

Always the most eclectic objects at Obsolete...

This vintage wing back chair in the corner is upholstered with vintage Army tenting. What a unique idea...

an old cabinet filled with my favorite, Santa Maria Novella potpourri...

If you're in the San Francisco area, be sure and visit Obsolete. You'll be in for a treat!

Grey Gardens Online!

For all of you Big & Little Edie fans, I just received an e-mail about the newly revamped Grey Gardens online site. Perhaps I'm the last to to hear about it, but thought I'd post anyway...

The site has great historical data, never-before-seen photos, and even a section of collectible memorabilia, such as this envelope (above) with an October 13, 1970 postmark addressed by Big Edie with the P.O. Box number for Grey Gardens printed on the rear flap....(love the liver pate...obviously for the cats..!)

An actual pair of Little Edie's shoe clips that she wore on her shoes, head scarf, and clothing. (from a private collection)

...a note to Little Edie from Jackie Onassis with a newspaper clipping...
