Well, my day off is quickly coming to an end (I still go to bed early, even on West Coast watches) and I wish I would have been a bit more productive - but, I still got a whole lotta things done so I guess I shouldn't complain!!
We'll start out with my outfit for the day! A pretty little 30's cotton day dress I recently picked up in the city.
And then we have all the fussin' I've been doing with re-arranging and trying to make do and find homes for things...
A little more kitchen bits:
And my bedroom.
... If you go to my flickr you can see what came before this ... sit tight - this is bound to change at least 6 more times! We need a lamp near the chair and then I think some old medical illustrations to go above. I'd love to find a nice embroidery sampler in corresponding shades, but those cost a pretty penny and chairs should come first!!!
OKAY - now, onto the somewhat exciting stuff. I opened a Big Cartel shop! I'm no etsy traitor - but I wanted to give Big Cartel a whirl!! I'm still fussing around with it ... so bear with me as I figure out things in this apartment and with this new website. Hopefully I'll be adding a few new things each week due to the fact that I have a walk in closet and I've quickly run out of space for my clothing and that's not even including the 4 bins of winter stuff sitting in New England... so ... you know... gotta make some room!!
OH! And I don't think you can add Big Cartel to your readers ... so I just created a twitter page for the store that I promise I won't update too much, just one tweet per big shop update. I had to use underscores because someone named John Moore thought it cute to take 1385... John, whoever you are, I'm not impressed.
Anyway, here's the link to the Big Cartel shop - check it out!

Congrats on the Big Cartel store - it looks great!
Congrats!! I love the print on that dress, so adorable!
everything looks pretty!! if i were not in major penny-pinching mode, i would snap up that lavender floral daydress in the new shop in an instant.
Your house looks so adorable! I love all of your lovely vintage textiles (those curtains!!), and that wonderful green trim. :) And the dress is beautiful!
The 50s shirtwaist dress in your lovely new store is calling my name! I absolutely adore it. You're apartment looks great too..the floors are beautiful!
I love that shade of green on your cabinets and the wall trim. I have been thinking about painting my desk a similar color.
Congratulations on your new store!
Your apartment is looking lovely thus far.
I love your photos - they are always so dreamy and romantic.

Effie! The Big Cartel shop looks great! I wish Etsy had that option to colour coordinate!
ps- I am in love with the green trim in your apartment!
I wish I could leave intelligent and witty comments on you blog, but all I can think of is how gorgeous you look in all your pictures.
Just so you know, you sound VERY San Francisco already. "...I picked up in the city," because to natives, San Francisco is " The City," of course.
Just thought that you would like to know.
Also, everything looks lovely, as usual.
I know that dress! I've been eyeing it for a while!
You have a lovely new house! I love the flora sheets and pillows and of course your little corner with your boxes and table. The dresses on your Big Cartel store looks lovely (as usual)! Can't wait to see the completed look of your house!
Crack head hair - you're funny!
I love all your little vintage decorating touches. The way you styled the shoes with the other bits and pieces - sweet!
Congrats!
It all looks so very pretty, I love it all!

Welcome to the Paris of the West, and greetings for across the bay!
Oh, your new place looks fabulous already! I also have glass bottles lined up in my window and I like to meditate on them catching the light.
Shucks...you're probably sick of hearing this from me, but good golly you are the most magical little lady!! That dress is gorgeous and holy smokes your nest is looking incredible!! You truly have a special somethin' with decorating and all that--it look beautiful!
And hooray for the Big Cartel store!! I'm awful with change, so I'll have to get used to it, but it's lookin' really nice!! I was all sad when I thought 1385 was goin' away for a while, so I'm especially excited!!
