Nothing beats heading over the Richmond Bridge on a beautiful spring day.

Then turning towards Sausalito and the Golden Gate Bridge.

First stop:  Scoma’s in Sausalito

for a Crab Louis salad while watching watercraft like this paddleboard and boarder.

Satiated we headed over to the Heath factory store.

And perused earth-toned plates and bowls.

Neutral pitchers, covered dishes and salt & pepper shakers.

Vibrant house numbers.

Beautiful tiles.

Many shades of blue

and white.

Always interested in a bargain, there were plenty of great “seconds.”  Including these mugs with the low handle which were designed by Edith Heath to accommodate holding a cigarette as she enjoyed a cup of coffee.

We left with the intended wedding gift as well as a few Mother’s Day gifts–for ourselves!

If you’re interested in picking up some Heath for yourself or someone else—this weekend everything is 15% off in their Sausalito, San Francisco and Los Angeles showrooms.
