As I was wandering through Sue Fischer King in San Francisco a few months ago, a book caught my eye and I immediately picked it up and started flipping through the pages. On the cover of “How the French Live” there is a beautiful image of a sun drenched entry way with an antique workbench that is to die for. From there, I did a little research on the author and discovered she lives in San Francisco and has a well known blog called @FrenchbyDesign! Although I have yet to meet Si Mazouz in person, I feel like we are kindred spirits and even more so after I was able to interview her and ask her questions about her love of France and how the book came about.

I have always loved vintage scales and it’s pretty obvious since there are three in my kitchen. My mantra has always been “beauty over function”, but in this case both beauty and function prevail. 🙌🏻 They are also a reminder to keep the balance!
Its starting to look and feel more and more like fall. This is one of my favorite French finds. A metal fountain that I would love to figure out how to reproduce. The sound of the water cascading down is one of the most relaxing sounds especially after a long day at work. Wishing everyone a relaxing and peaceful evening.
We can’t wait for our book signing with @frenchbydesign!! She will be at the shop September 29th from 3-5 pm signing copies of her book and talking all about How the French Live! It’s going to be a fabulous afternoon, we hope you can join us! 🍷🇫🇷 {photo by @frenchbydesign}
It’s officially fall in my kitchen and this is where I plan to spend most of the day after a marathon week in the shop celebrating our 16 year anniversary. 🍾🥂 We have one more day left of the sale and EVERYTHING in the store (except the jewelry)is 20% off. Come on out to @cornerstonesonoma for the day and visit us!
A perfect fall day in Sonoma and there’s a chill in the air. These honey candles just arrived from @larochere_na and perfect timing to light up our evening as the days get shorter and they could not smell more divine. Hint of 🍯 to sweeten your evenings. The bee glass is a nice feature too so they can be used over and over. La Rochere knows how to keep things sustainable. They have been in business for over 500 years.
