"The San Francisco Fall Antique Show . . . "

Greetings,

It's always one of my favourite social events each October - the Opening Gala of the San Francisco Fall Antique Show.   And it's a perennial favourite for the myriad of reasons . . .

Do let's take them in order . . .

Penelope Bianchi, Emily Eermans, me, and Jennifer Boles 

1) Great friends.  It never fails.  I always run into Jennifer Boles (The Peak of Chic) and Emily Eerdmans every year  . . . and this year, I finally had a chance to meet Penelope Bianchi!

2) The Space is always amazing.  For those of you not familiar with San Francisco, the Gala is held at Fort Mason Center . . . which is basically a giant warehouse space in the Marina . . . but, each year - it's transmogrified into something glorious . . .

3)  Great food (more on that further down . . . ).  and Great drinks.


4) But, most importantly, the antiques - an amazing collection of dealers and pieces from around the world . . . have a look at a few favourites . . .

You can never go wrong with the classics . . . 

O.M.G. - I want that screen . . . 

I was fascinated by the carving on this amazing chair . . . 

Can you say, "Perfect pedestal table for an entry way?"

And I always have a passion for beautiful tapestries . . . 

Food.  And more food.  And a great bar.  

And - for the second year in a row . . . it happened.  After running into Grant Gibson, Jennifer Boles, Diane Dorrans Saeks, and Eric Cohler right by the front door . . . my first questions was, "Are they serving Tater-Tots again this year?!?!?!?"

Blessedly, the answer was YES!  

Cheers,
Scot
