One of the best vintage stores we’ve come across is SF’s Kim Fiscus Antiques, a tiny storefront in the Cow Hollow neighborhood (2313 Greenwich Ave.; 415-474-2313). Fiscus travels to Europe several times a year and sources a well-edited collection of lamps, mirrors, accessories, and furniture. View her wares at kimfiscus.com:
