Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah with family and friends!

1614 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Walnut Creek
The eyeglass shop Warby Parker opened over the weekend in downtown Walnut Creek in the historic Dole House on Mt. Diablo Blvd. In addition to frames, they also offer contact lenses and plan to offer eye exams upstairs where you can book appointments for eye exams and contact lens fittings. Check out their Walnut Creek page here. “To celebrate the new year, Warby Parker created custom-illustrated 2020 paper glasses. During the last week of December (12/26 onwards), customers can stop in store to pick up a pair, no purchase (or prescription) required.”
I would love to know what was going through the mind of the person who made this sign for the Lafayette McCaulou’s. Is this possibly a brand where the “i” is lowercase? What’s the meaning of this!?
Christmas and Hanukkah are fast approaching and the wet weather isn’t dampening people’s spirit as they go about their lives getting ready for the holidays. What is your favorite part of Christmas and the holidays this season? Spending time with family? Food and a cozy environment? Presents?
The Shops at Todos Santos, Concord
Yum Squared Thai Cuisine is coming to The Shops at Todos Santos in Concord where Woung Luang Thai Cuisine used to be. Stay tuned…
495c Hartz Ave, Danville
The shapewear store KIMMI COUTURE opened recently in Danville. Check out their online selection here.
From their website:
The online store began with one of a kind bathing suits handmade by Mrs CEO K but it quickly expanded into women’s shapewear. With Kimmi being from Colombia, she felt it was an organic transition to share her “Secret to a Tiny Waist” with her customers.
2800 Larkey Ln, Walnut Creek
Over the weekend I dropped by Larkey Market in Walnut Creek to check out what was going on since they got a new owner. There had been some questions about their homemade sandwiches disappearing and I found out that a new deli station is in the works and once it’s ready they’ll be back to offering handmade sandwiches as well as an expanded menu including a special family chicken salad recipe, breakfast items and more specialty deli items. Online ordering will be available as well as a new Larkey Market coffee, including a proprietary cold brew. In addition to food and drink updates they want to update the aesthetics so it will feel more like a neighborhood market and deli with more tables and less like a convenience store. Check for updates on their Instagram page here.
