In thinking of the heartbreaking news of Diane Keaton's passing, we are remembering the first time she came into our shop and how absolutely wonderful she was in person. She was as quirky and original as her characters were. She was herself. At that time, it was all about blogs and sharing sites on the internet and she said, have you been featured on Remodelista? We said no we hadn't been... she said, why not?! As though it was an obvious no brainer. She said she was going to contact her friend who was the founder, as we should definitely be on the site according to her. A few months go by and we are surprised by an article on Remodelista... and not only that, but Diane wrote the article herself! We were so completely and happily surprised. It speaks to Diane's originality and genuine character... she simply connected with our shop and didn't care that we weren't in a city hub (far from it, in the middle of the desert!)- it didn't matter, she liked what she liked. She spent her precious time to write an article about us, and we simply couldn't believe it. We still can't.
We have lots of fun stories about her, she was delightful and so cool in the true sense of the word. We liked a lot of the same things and she would get gifts for her friends from our shop each Christmas. A truly generous spirit. We are honoring her and thinking about her a lot right now. At a time when so much - fashion, ideas, even personality is repeated, copied and recycled through social media, it's so heartwarming to think of Diane, someone who kept it true to herself. What she brought to the screen, to art, to the world of interiors and style will always remain a gift to all of us. How lucky we are.
Thank you Diane <3
