My high school buddy and long time friend, international actress Barbara Bouchet and film star from the Star Trek TV Series and "Casino Royal" Bond movie, invited me to join her and her sisters on a couple of shopping trips to Triburon and Petaluma boutiques. The weather was fantastic and ripe for having fun. Each store we visited offered wonderful gift ideas and fashion treats. Especially the Unique Boutique on Tiburon Blvd. Owner Debbie Hershy's on-consignment array of clothing, purses, hats and several other "unique pieces" were simply delightful. I couldn't resist having one of her hand-crafted pop-art purses. And the price was just right. Another place Barbara and I enjoyed visiting was the "Ruth Livingston Studio" on Main Street. This "one of a kind" hand-crafted artist purses, ceramics, art and furniture designs were all fully framed within quality craftsmanship and great imagination. And a wonderful staff made our visit even more enjoyable.
