Staff here are consistently helpful, upbeat, and kind. Easily one of my favorites in the neighborhood, and from my perspective, a good place to find nice touches that won't break the bank.

When I'm in a new Town, if there's a local Arts Guild Shop, I'm there. Some of my best gifts or…read morehome artistic flourishes have come from such Cooperatives, with notable places including Barcelona, Edmonton, and Spirit Lake Iowa. And no matter where I go, I find the selection to be varied and unique, the quality high, the prices reasonable, and the background to a particular piece to be fascinating. I also feel good about supporting local artists and truly feel that such places are the best gift shops in Town. This time around, I bought a beautiful ceramic table piece. It has a distinct shape, stunning red colouring, good heft, and a nice feel to the touch. It was designed and crafted by Beverly Prevost, who I had chance to meet a few minutes later at La Haye Are Center next door. The Guild member working the Gallery was friendly and informative, and I didn't mind helping her figure out how to work the credit card machine.

Sonoma Court Shops is a courtyard across the street from historic Sonoma Plaza, an outdoor space full of shops, wine tasting rooms and galleries. Never knew it was there, a truly surprise find! Wine county treasure. Fountains, arches covered in greenery, retail shops, little oasis of pleasure and joy. Gastronomically satisfied belly, after delicious brunch in San Francisco, called for relaxation with a good bottle of wine. It's time for the soul. Over the Golden Gate I go! And back into yelping, after a month-long break, taken for full immersion in work. Life's been busy, my friends! That's how I do things - I dive in! With everything I have! Drove to wine country and ended up in Sonoma Court Shops walkways. It's a Vine Alley, come explore! A welcoming European detour is sure to please. You'll thank me later! I landed at Sosie tasting room. Had an amazing time. Buonissimo! Hope you're finding simple joys in everyday life. A wish ambitious enough? :-) *I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right I need you, baby, to warm these lonely nights I love you, baby Trust in me when I say I love you, baby... I love you, baby... Cheers! Missed E v e r y o n e !!! Happy Mother's Day!

My mom has impaired hearing. Her mask came loose from her ear, and before she could put the mask back on the owner emerged from the back in an rather unpleasant, confrontational and angry tone. I had my mask on, and my mother fixed hers. About as unprofessional as we've ever seen. Needless to say, we won't be back and purchased art from another vendor. Main message here is to treat patrons with respect and kindness. We won't be back.
