Back last December I noted the opening of a popup art gallery by Tom Matousek and now they have just opened in a new location in Lafayette at 996 Moraga Rd. next to Squirrels Coffee Shop. Take a peek inside and you’ll see his distinctive artwork hanging which looks amazing. According to their Facebook page it’s by appointment only.
Spotted in front of Venture Men’s Goods clothing store in downtown Lafayette. Entries due by Friday, March 29th. Some of the decorated egg drawings were hanging in their window. Another great idea by Venture.

The children’s bookstore Storyteller has been squeezed out of their downtown location and are relocating to a spot behind Peet’s Coffee & Tea, next to Whole Foods in Lafayette to make way for the Cooperage Bar and Grill expansion taking place at the former location of Petar’s. As you can see in the photo below, the wall separating Storyteller won’t be there for long. Look for the Cooperage Bar and Grill to open sometime this summer at Lafayette Circle across the street from Chow.
Earlier this month I noted that a florist might be opening in downtown Lafayette behind Patxi’s Pizza and it turns out to have been true. Floret opens today in the Lafayette Clocktower.

Back in the beginning of the month I noted that the Neiman Marcus metal fins were missing from their storefront but they are now back. This time you can see a distinctive skelton-like backbone which presumably protects them as they swivel back and forth from the wind. Take a look at the photo below to see what they looked like on opening day one year go.
