I'm Back...sort of

While on vacation, 
I stopped in at Giannetti Home 
in Brentwood, California
to meet the lovely Brooke Giannetti who is the beautiful face behind Velvet and Linen.

I can see treasures Brooke picked up at different flea markets (Roundtop, Scott's) and markets across the country.

 Their store reflects soft hues and textures that Brooke and Steve both design with and have added to their own home in the past few years. 
I just love beautiful linens!

She and her team create beautiful vignettes.

   We enjoyed some time together and neither one of us reached for our cameras for a photo together.  :(

Be sure and check out this month's issue of Veranda magazine and see their 
coastal home featured.

    Hi Renae; What a really fun thing to do, stopping in to meet Brooke and Steve. Oh I must pick up Veranda to not miss their home. If there store is any indication, I can only imagine how magnificent their home must be?! From just the small snippets of hearing of your trip, it sounds like you truly had a marvelous time. I'm so happy for you. What a shock I bet to come home to the heat and humidity once again? Hope the week is really good to you my friend. xo xo Deb

    Welcome home Renae,
    it would have been wonderful to meet with you and Brooke in LA.
    I'll be there late Oct. again to drive the coast up to SF to meet up with our son at mid break. A stop at the shop is a "to do"!

    Take care, good to be back!

    Vacation is on here, summer is gorgeous and the archipelago is breathtaking now. Still I'm able to blogg shortly using my laptop sharing my iPhone's surf. I love hi tech on the island.....
