\u2022\u2022\u2022 There\u2019s something exciting in this Wednesday\u2019s Historic Landmarks Commission agenda: a small hotel by Jeff Shelton on the vacant lot at 813 Garden Street (De La Guerra\/Canon Perdido). The three-story building would have \u201cone ADU; an eight-room hotel; and one residential dwelling unit.\u201d Please let it be pink!<\/p>\n

\u2022\u2022\u2022 The Polette<\/a> eyewear shop at 1014 State Street (Carrillo\/Figueroa) has opened, and it\u2019s sharing space with a sister brand, Academy of Love<\/a>. Polette is kind of like Warby Parker, affordable and with transparent pricing. As for Academy of Love, \u201cwe create exclusively All-White products, as we believe they represent simplicity and purity as Love should be. Each month we release 5 to 10 products in limited editions. All our collections are unisex, timeless and full of softness. We invite you to also visit our showrooms that are built like Love Galleries, an unique retail experience where the time is slow and the love grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u2022\u2022\u2022 While working on this year\u2019s Shop-Local Gift Guide<\/a>, I belatedly learned that the Folly<\/a> shop at Arlington Plaza has expanded into the former Marisa Mason space next door.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u2022\u2022\u2022 Goleta\u2019s Maker House<\/a> community arts center has a pop-up at 913 State Street through the end of the year. For a temporary space, it looks pretty darn good, and I thought the ceramics on view were both attractive and affordably priced. If my husband\u2019s late father hadn\u2019t been a ceramicist, I might\u2019ve been tempted to buy something. The giant toadstools would look great in my yard\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u2022\u2022\u2022 The Indian Summers<\/a> women\u2019s apparel boutique in Summerland has announced that it\u2019s closing, but I\u2019m not sure when. In the meantime, everything is half off. Is more change in store?<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u2022\u2022\u2022 Opening December 6 at Separate Reality<\/a> gallery: The Shape of Unease, works by Armando Ramos, head of Sculpture and chair of the Art Department at Santa Barbara City College. \u201cGuided by a distinct sense of duality, Ramos\u2019s newest works explore the tension between the industrial and the handmade, irony and sincerity, reverence and irreverence. Ceramic baskets constructed through complex firing and glazing techniques emphasize fragility and negative space, while cast-aluminum knots consider the entanglement of time, memory, and function.\u201d Below: \u201cConvert.\u201d<\/p>\n
