Start of Summer Flea Market Sale !

i miss the summer


Hi everyone!
Here is a little schedule for how things will be running over at my etsy shop for the next 2 months or so ... Which seems like a long time in advance, but time is moving along so quickly lately!

I'm planning a long trip to New England at the end of June and I'll be there until probably late July. During that time the shop will be in vacation mode (I'd love to be able to keep it open but there's too many family things going on it'd be impossible for me to keep up!) so I want to make sure everything has found a home with someone before I leave. (I'll be bringing back new findings and there's not enough space in my tiny apartment for everything!!)

Leaving for almost a month means lots of planning and loose ends to tie up in San Francisco (plus I'm taking Westley with me and I've never flown with a dog before) so to make sure I don't have too much etsy shop stress before I leave I'm going to start now by having a flea market sale!

- From now until Thursday evening at 6:00 PM Pacific everything is up for grabs. Please understand that there are a few things that I can't budge toooo much on... But, I do want to make sure mostly everything is gone by Thursday!

- Pick your fancy from my shop and send me a message with an offer price. I'll write you back and either accept that price or offer a different one. If you agree on that price then I'll reserve the Item for you!

- Since I'm running the sale for almost a week, the only catch is that I'll be offering only a 24 hour reserve period for the item(s). So it has to be purchased and paid for within 24 hours otherwise it'll go back up for grabs.

- And of course the golden rule of the flea market applies - the more you buy the more you save - so don't be shy and shop away!
. . .


Then on Friday I'll be adding some of my own printed cotton summer dresses to the shop and then Alameda flea market loot will be added sometime after June 9th/10th.

Phew! Ok! Hope everyone is enjoying this long weekend!

Custom Uncommon Case !

I'd heard about Uncommon cases a few months ago via My Love For You... and I thought it was such a nice idea, because lets face it ... iphone/ipod cases are typically snorish or tacky. And then I found out a few weeks ago you could upload your own image and that was the deciding factor! I had to make my own!

I had a hard time finding an image I liked that was over 2,000 x 2,000 pixels - but I ended up zooming into this image from a Pintauro book:

The case came a few days ago and I couldn't be happier with the quality/printing !

But, I sort of settled when I chose this print ... I really wanted a seahorse but I wasn't sure if the printing would be fine enough to capture all the tiny details .. but after seeing the case in person (and then seeing JT's on The SF Style I decided to go ahead and order the seahorse design this morning.

** Update! I found a home for the case and my new seahorse case should be getting here in about a week!

Don't you think some of those stills from Liquid Crystals would make amazing prints for silk dresses!?

There's many more films to dissect and screen capture - but I'll spread it out and post more next week!!

Science Is Fiction, pt. 1

It's raining here, sort of. It's been grey and chilly and sometimes rainy and I think it should be like this for the rest of the week. What better thing to do then watch Science is Fiction and take little screen captures of my favorite microscopic moments. I'll have to warn you though, I have a lot of favorites ....


. . . Hyas and Stenorhynchus, 1927 . . .

a.b.k.

I've been on a constant search to find the perfect leather bag for a while. A nice thick back pack without drawstrings or zippers, or even just a simple roomy shoulder bag... Beautiful all-leather bags that aren't too fussy or over designed are hard to come by - vintage or new. And then I saw this post about a.b.k. over at We Could Grow Up Together and I was instantly charmed by the elfkin like shoes and her simple leather goods.
I'm sending my wish to the universe that I can some day own one of her pieces.
