Here is a gift Marcia, the owner, gave me today! I was telling her about Pink Saturday and she let me take the following pictures!!!!

This is just a "small " section of the pinks and she has other sections divided into colors. Antique jewelry, buttons, buttons, buttons, China,purses, hats, shells, embellishments of all kinds! She also sells handmade treasures of several artists.

And, she has small classes by well known artisans!

So, if you are ever in the bay area of San Francisco, it is well worth the trip to Danville, CA. There are at least 8 excellent restaurants with in walking distance.

Have fun!!!
