Last week I noted that Edwards Luggage would be reopening in a new Broadway Plaza location next to Neiman Marcus in Walnut Creek and they are now open. I stopped by inside and it looks really nice.

Macy’s Junior, located next to Macy’s Men and the new Banana Republic in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek has relocated across the street to the “Women’s Building”. I never realized that was considered the women’s building as I shopped for kitchen goods and luggage on the third floor many times.

After 30 years in business the owner of Main Street Postal & Business, Sherry Bennett has decided to sell to a new owner who intends to turn it into a UPS store. As vice president of the Walnut Creek Downtown Business Association Sherry will have to relinquish her position but may return to downtown Walnut Creek with a new business in the future. Stay tuned…
According to the new owner, the conversion to a UPS store will take a few months and will be able to offer more business services such as web site design and production print services for businesses large and small.

Back in August I noted that We Olive in downtown Walnut Creek would be offering wine tasting and the wine bar is now open. Check out their complete wine list here. In the near future they plan on offering cheese and other pairings to go with the wine selections.
From the menu:
Our Wine Bar was created as a place to share our love of both great food and wine. We emphasize hard-to-find artisan wines from distinct regions throughout California. Consistent with our philosophy on Extra Virgin Olive Oil, we hand-select only the finest limited-edition California wines to share with our customers. All bottles of wine are available for retail purchase for $7 less than the listed price.

The spa Metamorphosis has closed in downtown Walnut Creek at the Mercer apartment complex. There are still quite a few salons on this block and Starbucks opened a few doors down yesterday.
Back in December I noted that Edwards Luggage would be relocating from the backside of Broadway Plaza to a new Broadway Plaza spot next to Neiman Marcus and they are very close to reopening at this new location. The old location has now closed and now every store on the backside of Broadway Plaza has closed except for Banana Republic, which will open across the street in March.

Thanks to a reader for sending word that the kids and maternity consignment store They Grow So Fast on Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette will be closing for good tomorrow. According to a letter posted in the store their rent was raised by 50% which caused them to leave after 21 years in business.

Begin Where You Are. No matter your goals or desires, you have no choice to start where you are, look around and feel your moment and sense your life and determine what is of value to you, This is how we can approach our creative life and go from a “blank canvas” to a beautiful experience. This and more was the topic of my TEDx talk in 2011.
What most interests me about art and the process of creativity is the transformative power it can have in our life. Allowing creativity to flow opens up a doorway to unlimited possibility. For this reason I believe and teach that art has the power to heal. I have witnessed it and continue to witness it on this sometimes gut-wrenching and beautiful journey.
Come visit the brick and mortar studio/gallery in Lafayette, CA. We will launch our official opening Feb. 2014 3620 Mt. Diablo Blvd.
