I had a gazillion errands and left my camera in the car so I was able to show you some of my favorite things about living in Sacramento.IKEA is only just across the river ~ less than 5 miles from my home. I got the IKEA catalog every year while I was living in Mexico and drooled over it. When I moved to North Carolina, the closest IKEA was in Atlanta....5-6 hours away and I made that drive twice in 2 years just to get my IKEA fix. Now I go at least once a month and when I first moved here it was 2-3 times a week!!! I love me some IKEA.
We are so lucky to live in what is called the Market Basket of the world ~ the central valley of California is largely agricultural. We have some wonderful markets here and a new one to me, is Nugget Market. Not only is the outside of their market wonderously beautiful, the inside is amazing to behold. Even if you aren't in the mood to cook....you will once you travel these aisles.
Isn't this butterfly bench something? The corporate offices have opted for beauty and function when it would have been less expensive to just go for function.
Sculptures on the walls of gossamer-clad beauties holding up platters of fruit. My, my, my.Oh, and the awnings over the windows look as if they are made of seeds...the texture is remarkable.
The produce is displayed like fine art, and even though you came to shop for vegetables, it seems a shame to change a thing...it is so perfect.That was yesterday....
