Pelote

While waiting in the usual line at Mamas, I decided to kill a little time across the street at a new boutique offering up French linens from the Basque region. The bright colors, affordable prices, and simple displays caught my eye. The owners, a husband and wife with two kids, are amiable and happy to chat with customers given the chance.

I saw this (see left pic) hanging on the wall and couldn't leave without it. Given how much I cook, I figured I could chalk it up to a "work expense"...
Don't live in San Francisco? Me neither. Visit their website here. Luckily, we can order all their colorful, happy linens online.

If you live in San Francisco, visit them here over on 1706 Stockton Street, next to Luguria Bakery (great focaccia!) and across from Mama's on Washington Square.
