Greetings, dear friends!,

As Mr. Wonderful puts the finishing touches on tonight’s barbecued chicken, I thought I’d tell you about The Ruralist, at 57th Street Antiques, here in Sacramento.

Tom Kurth and his partner, opened the shop just a couple of months ago. Tom used to share space with me and a few others, at Veranda Antiques, in Carmichael. I’ve always admired his style!

This space is wonderfully displayed and well edited. There is a cohesive sense of order in the whole shop.

Next time, Tom goes on a buying trip, I am going to follow him at a reasonable, yet unnoticeable distance. I want to shop where he shops!

Tom has done all sorts of things in the design field and all of the experience has served him well!

The Ruralist is open Thursday through Sunday, at “ten-ish”! Tell them, Barbara sent you!
