One stop I always try to make when I’m in the Bay is Heath Ceramics’ Sausalito factory store. I love the sound of the gravel as I drive into the parking lot, seeing the front red door of the store — the kind of red that’s modern and fresh but also warm and welcoming. Once inside, the space always feels so zen and makes me forget whatever swirling, harried thoughts I might have had on the drive up. I love looking through all the tiles at least a few times, and one of my favorite parts of the store are the shelves of “seconds” where I’ve found so many beautiful pieces. Pieces that have traveled many miles home with me to be a part of my home.
