After leaving French General my daughter and I made our way over to Hollywood Boulevard so she could see the sidewalk of stars. Hurray for Hollywood!
Hurray for Hollywood
We were also starved and spotted this sign and made a beeline for this darling cafe.
If you are a fan you will love it.
There were also several cute shops.
This was Varga and it had great vignettes.
Isn’t this doxie purse adorable? It wasn’t big enough for my needs though.
Later that evening I made my way to Brentwood to attend the opening of Giannetti Home. What a breathtaking store! I am pictured with owner Brooke Giannetti who has a wonderful blog. It is called Velvet and Linen. On the right is Mary Smilove. Do you know Mary? She owns Sweetpeas and Snapshots, a truly delightful store. Mary has also been featured in several magazines. Her most recent appearance can be found in this months issue of Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion. Both ladies are true gems.
