A few of us went to Ray at Night in San Diego last night. It’s an art walk in the North Park neighborhood and it’s on, you guessed it, Ray Street. Actually it spills out onto some surrounding streets and about 40 studios, retail stores and cafes  are open from 7-10pm. It’s on the second Saturday of the month. Many of the studios have food and drink, some even kegs, for a few dollars. Most of the artists from the studios are hanging out and ready for conversation. It makes for a fun Saturday night, if you’re in the area. On that note, we ate at the Linkery, which is right in the neighborhood. The food is really good- they use local organic ingredients and make their own sausages, which change daily. The mexican chicken sausage was spicy goodness.

There were a few cool places and things that I came across last night. Cirello Gallery makes jewelery that is made from recycled stainless steel. They can be bought in the studio (for a small discount) or online. I tried on quite a few of the bracelets- I love the look of the jewelery, very simple designs with a cool and modern style. They are a little on the pricey side but stainless steel anything holds up pretty well over the years. A little polish here and there should do it. I’ll be back there, when I have a job.

Another really cool place we went to was Olive Branch Green Building Supply. I just started taking interior design classes, which I am loving by the way,  and this was right up my alley. All green products under one roof. I had never seen many of these materials before. One that stuck out was Nova cork flooring. They have really interesting patterns, nothing like a cork board. And it’s a sustainable, durable choice from flooring- it’s made from live trees and it does not harm them. Icestone is another sustainable product but for counter tops. It’s made from recycled glass and concrete. They have lots of color options and showrooms in different parts of the country. We plan on remodeling our kitchen soon, once again the job thing a factor, but I can’t wait to check out products like these!
