Lori Weitzner Assemblage

Earlier this month I was in San Francisco where I presented a keynote address for their winter market. I love this city and I love the designers there - talented, serious and kind. The snow in New York City allowed me a bonus day there to play! Sometimes those canceled flights are a gift!

The lovely De Sousa Hughes showroom

A clever way to show samples!
