Over and Out

The hubby, kids, corgi, and I are off for a short vacation at the beach. I'll be back with regular posts on Monday, August 13. (I may pop up here for a random post or two before then, but don't bet on it ... )

In the meantime, if you live in these parts, don't forget about this weekend's fun East Bay events:

* The first-anniversary party at Industrielle, Feria Urbana at the Oakland Museum, and the Oakland Art Murmur tonight, August 3

* The warehouse sale at the Gardener in Berkeley tomorrow, August 4

* The Alameda Point Antiques & Collectibles Faire on Sunday, August 5

And while I'm away, be sure to check out the blogroll on the right-hand side of this page for some great reads and gorgeous eye candy.

Have a wonderful week!

Mark Your Calendar: Warehouse Sale at The Gardener

If you're anywhere near Fourth Street in Berkeley on Saturday, August 4, be sure to stop by The Gardener's big warehouse sale.

Merchandise from the store -- which specializes in gorgeous, "organic modern" design for the home and garden -- will be 50 to 90 percent off, and furniture will be 40 to 70 percent off.

The Gardener warehouse is located at 1501 Fourth St., three blocks north of The Gardener's Fourth Street shop, above (which is most definitely worth a visit as well). The doors open at 9 a.m.
