photos - eek.

One of the most important factors to the success of an Etsy store are the photos.

I haven't had the time to dedicate to it and well - posting has lacked lately.  I am incredibly picky about the photos I use and it takes me FOREVER.

This week, I'll be hauling all the goodies out the garage and setting up my little photo shoot.  Should be sunny and nice and let's hope I don't screw it up.

Hopefully - I'll have a ton of fabulous stuff to post next week!

Before & After: Bookshelf Bed Frame

Before & After: Bookshelf Bed Frame

I have to share this post from my new favorite blog - BackGarage.

Makes me want to buy an electric sander.

I mean - look at these pics!

And besides, I have that same tree pillow from Ikea.

alameda flea market. hells yeah.

I seriously cannot contain myself. I FINALLY got the day off to go to the Alameda Flea Market tomorrow. That place is crack to me.

We are looking for a mirror over the fireplace, a (very) small side table for the living room and anything else that I just can't live without.

If I find treasures, which I usually do, I will post pics asap.

made it to the front page!

One of the lovely pairs of shoes that I posted recently was part of a very well curated Etsy Treasury made by caffeinequeenie.

The Treasury made the front page of Etsy.com and my shoes sold in a matter of seconds.

Thank you, caffeinequeenie and Etsy!

blah mood averted!

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Cloudy outside, might rain again and didn't feel like hitting the treadmill.

Grabbed my cup of coffee, sat down and 'puter and went to my Favorites page on Etsy.

Saw this and it instantly turned me around:

Thank you, Banjo Puppets. Crisis averted. Now on to the treadmill.

new (old) stuff!

Very excited to start posting all the new (old) fabulous stuff that I've acquired lately!

Just posted a super-sweet tea cup with the "Occupied Japan" mark. Very cool.

And my favorite new section - vintage shoes! I happened upon a few shoes from a lady's estate here in Marin. She had great taste. All have these strange numbers written on the bottom...they aren't prices. I have no idea. But they are adorable shoes and I am pretty bummed that none of them fit me.

I just posted this one:

And here is a sneak peak at what is next:
