FRENCH GENERAL SHOP

When trying to summarize how special French General is, I came across Natalie W's Yelp review.

"This off-the-beaten-path place is a little slice of crafty heaven here on Earth: a terra cotta colored cottage a bit off the beaten path smack in the middle of Echo Park. Knock on the door and Kaari, the owner, will come to greet you with a smile. This old Lasky studio is all the workings of Kaari and her husband, who once had this very same shop in New York on Crosby, and beforehand in the Hudson Valley. It's sweet touch of Provence, filled with antique linens and textiles, natural balms and lavender-filled sachets and pillows, and vintage notions. A communal table in the back houses Saturday workshops teaching you how to make a necklace or earrings out of these French-inspired materials. A pair of hand-dyed, handmade roller blinds are on my wish list here."

Quite lovely...indeed.
