Musings of Like A Fox

Domestic Construction : A Dynamic Duo

Ask me to name the second best thing about Renegade San Francisco, and I'll claim Domestic Construction, a tag-team design studio from Brooklyn specializing in interiors, environments and one of a kind fashion and home products.

Reporting on Renegade: Mucca Pazza

Ask me to name my favorite thing about Rengeade San Francisco and I'll enthusiastically yell Mucca Pazza! A thirty member punk circus marching band from Chicago, Mucca Pazza put on an incomparable show, mesmerizing the crowd with their wild choreography and fiesty tunes.

Reporting on Renegade

There's no finer champion of independently spirited handmade wares than Renegade, and it was a true pleasure to take part in Renegade's first San Francisco festival. A special thank you goes to my husband and our good friends for helping me set up and run the booth. And thanks to everyone who participated and made this event so much fun -  especially the wild circus marching band Mucca Pazza!

 

Chocolate Finery

Oh, Michael Recchiuti, you are a genius. Your artisanal chocolate confections are divine, their unparalleled beauty tempt both the eyes and tongue into ecstasy. To see a new box set of burnt caramel chocolates featuring artwork from four Creativity Explored artists, well, the heart melts at such goodness.

Creativity Explored is a San Francisco nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art. CE celebrates 25 years of helping others through their life enriching programs.

Recchiuti Confections was launched in 1997 and has a gorgeous storefront in the San Francisco Ferry Building. And fortunately for those of us farther afield, Recchiuti's fine chocolates may be purchased from the website.

Renegade Craft Fair San Francisco July 12+13

I am super excited to announce that Like A Fox will join the ranks of mighty crafters at San Francisco's first Renegade Craft Fair. So, look for me in the crowd at Ft. Mason on July 12-13. Hooray!

Dog Days of Summer - Think Again

Someone else has stolen this phrase....

Sweet Summer Blooms

My mom picked this pretty bouquet fresh from her garden. I'm jealous.

Unconventional Lawnmowers

These lawnmowers require no gasoline, but they do a patchy job at best! Loose in the backyard: Moonie, Mardi and Nick.

New at Mama Bleu's Market

I love the new vintage-laced jewelry at Mama Bleu's Market. I popped in there last week during an afternoon of fun birthday shopping with my pal Rachel. I'm quite taken with the pretty bracelets crafted from old silverware and the lovely beaded necklace and earring sets by K.A.S.  I am so pleased to see a local shop carrying handmade goods. So all of you in Lakeland, get out and support this independent shop. Surely you need a gift for someone - or even yourself!
