*blushing* Gee. Thanks!

Issue 28 of Sactown Magazine. June/July 2011

What a pleasant surprise yesterday evening when my husband opened the latest issue of Sactown Magazine and said quietly, "Did you know that you're mentioned in here?" I replied incredulously, "What do you mean?!" But there I am on page 66 of Issue 28 (June/July 2011) with other Sacramento MCM friends in the story entitled "Best of the City" under the heading "Mod Squads."

Per the article, "... you need to know about three very cool sites that celebrate '50s-era design in our fair city. The first, Eichlerific, is a must-read blog launched with a focus on modern homes in Sacramento... but has grown to encompass all things mid-century here, from local landmarks to artists and the modern architects who helped shape this city."

Wow, Sactown! Thank you so much and I will endeavor to live up to your kind words.

I'm in great company under the "Mod Squads" category with my friends at Mimomito and Scout Living -- who, by the way, are in the middle of their soft opening today of their new store located at 1215 18th Street in Midtown. See Toni's post on Mimomito for an inside peek and make your way over there. They're open unusually late -- until 10pm tonight! You can also read more about their new store in an article by Brandon Darnell in Sacramento Press here.

If you can't make it in today, check them out during regular business hours (tba) or wait to celebrate with them during their Grand Opening during Art Second Saturday on June 11, 2011 from 5:00pm to 9pm. See you there!
