SF Renegade Craft Fair!!

So excited!   

First time that I am not working and I can FINALLY go to this.

Fellow Etsians, see you there.

like butter

I purchased these bakelite butter knives on a recent trip to Denmark. I love their butterscotch color.

I don't need these knives, despite my affection.

So they will be posted on the shop soon.

Unless I change my mind...which is often.

What do you think? Keep or sell?

backyardigans.

Note to self - never use live links to photos in your blog...because then the photos go away.  Boo.  Sorry the desk photos and bed photos are gone.  I have now learned my lesson.

However, we have purchased a sander and decided not to get another desk right now.  Too many other projects around the house to contend with - namely our backyard.

We've torn out most things and ready for complete demo next week.  All I've been thinking about is outdoor living.  Scrounging around salvage yards, definitely got some inspiration for our trellis/arbor.

We break ground next week - I'll keep you posted on the progress.

small desk

My husband and I have a lovely office of which we share.  Side by side.  Quite nice.

Except when he is on the phone.

Which is a lot.  It is his job.

So - I've been thinking of getting a small desk for the guest bedroom that can serve multiple purposes - nightstand, a little storage (never can have too much) and back-up work space.

Here is the first one that I found on craigslist that fits the bill:

And it has a pull out shelf:

I want it.  But the seller's want $325.  Completely reasonable for an original danish modern desk in perfect condition.  Just a little more than I wanted to spend.  Okay - so maybe a lot more.  I was thinking $50.

Here's the link if you want to check it out yo'self.

Sigh.   I'll keep looking.

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.
