Jane Lockhart took time out of her busy schedule to chat briefly with a nosy Toddrickallen on Friday about the Santa Monica opening of her second location of her popular bakery Sweet Lady Jane (first reported here https://toddrickallen.com/2010/04/09/sweet-lady-jane-santa-monica/) . According to Jane, the wildly anticipated Nov. 18th opening is more than likely going to be pushed back “a few days” due to the amount of work left to be done and the massive cleanup. The walls were still being painted with swirling patterns when she showed me around.  The space is bright and airy with a fresh, welcoming feel.  With the recent bakery explosion on Montana Avenue, all eyes have been eagerly on SLJ.  It looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer…  The good news is that all you NoMa housewives can order your Thanksgiving pies now!  SLJ has a pie and cake menu posted in its window.  Call (310) 254-9499 for details.
