Ric's holiday design includes a wooden carved polar bear and a lead hood ornament - vintage architectural elements. Having fun designing a California-themed Christmas Party for clients with a Spanish/Monterey-style home. Happy Holidays from Sekula's.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, French champagne and wine were shipped in wine crates made of wicker. These rare collectible baskets with their original markings would make the perfect gift for a champagne or wine aficionado, or great props for the wine cellar. Keith Wicks' wonderfully mysterious new painting "Dinner with Hopper" is an ode to the illustrator Edward Hopper and his muses. As seen though the eyes of the artist, Keith says he was transfixed by the concept that Hopper's community of lonely characters seem trapped in a web of structure and color. Keith, very much wanting to be amongst them, has painted himself into the mysterious scene, bringing them all together in an imaginary dinner with Hopper himself, at the head of the table. If only we to could climb inside this painting... what stories would we hear that were so intriguing that they inspired an artist to capture them for eternity in stokes of color and structure - not unlike Keith.

Yesterday I went to look for something in the cupboard at home and look what I found. Ric had stored these treasures to be used for a display at the house. I can't wait to see the display he creates with all these amazing vintage objects we have collected over the years. My latest collection is vintage wax seals which is growing. I use these for our custom gift wrapping service. This is a part of our business that is growing rapidly. Customers who need unusual and unique gifts for their husband, wives or clients come to us to seek out unique treasure that set them apart. To make each gift special we offer our custom wrapping service when you find the treasure you want to give. This is always such fun, one of my favorite parts of what I do for a living.
