When my husband and I were on our honeymoon in San Francisco in 2001, we went by ferry to Sausalito to visit the art galleries. We stumbled onto a little side street and into a gift shop/gallery called, "Isn't That Life?". It was so cute inside - lots of pretty paintings, beautifully illustrated gift cards, and even some pretty fairies hanging in a corner. It was such a serene and peaceful shop. Connie, the owner, was there and so wonderful to my husband and I. She even hand signed a card she drew of no-name-girl (what she calls her line of cards). I really loved the store and really love her illustration. She does excellent work and Connie really cares about her business and loves art. She is also very real and just an all-around nice person to deal with. Very honest and up front. Her shop is so cute, you have to stop in there when you go to Sausalito. Tell her Holly in Boston sent you - she may remember me since I've kept in touch since seeing her last in 2001.
