I just got this amazing book
in the mail today from the
As I have said,
I have been thinking about Northern California
a lot lately,
and all the amazing women artists out there,
past and present!
De Patta has always been a favorite of mine,
since almost day one,
when I got the book,
That book kinda started me on this
decorative arts journey.
(Well,
was really the first....)
Despite knowing about her early on,
a piece of hers has always eluded me.
But there is always tomorrow....

Buy this beautiful book

Amazing discovery for me. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteLove! Saw the Ruth exhibit when it was at the DeYoung. Soooo good. What a talent.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, Love Margaret's work. I'll have to look her up. Just saw that Pacific shop in one of my books can't remember where.
By the way I saw an incredible credenza on some home tours last weekend. Do you think you could identify it?
Kelly- Sure! Just send me a photo to mondoblogo at g mail dot com.....
