Out And About: Elsie Green House And Home

About a year ago I joined a group of local creatives.  We count among us:  architects, textile designers, jewelry makers, interior designers, business owners and several artists.  We strive to meet once a month to discuss our individual creative paths or to participate in a workshop as a group.  This month we met at Elsie Green House and Home in Concord, Ca.  The founder and owner of the shop, Laurie Furber, spoke to us about opening and owning a retail store, her business philosophy and her passion for vintage French furniture and accessories.  Kelsey Cox, a floral designer and founder of Mais Oui accompanied her that evening and lead us in a class of arranging foraged botanicals.  The evening was quite delightful.  I'm looking forward to revisit Laurie's store and take in all her beautiful Parisian wares in detail.  Take a look at some images from that evening:
