Electrical Energy Inside!

Wasn't sure what this thing was at first... but, I read the fine print and it's a jewelry cleaner! I just found it amusing because of it's warning on the bottom... I'm a little concerned about plugging it in though.

Window treatment

I saw this window treatment in Ready Made magazine. I am still working on it, but will be sure to post the finished product.

Plus- one curtain down, one to go!

Organization is the KEY!

I have been organizing my new shelves and am trying to figure out what to get rid of. Things are looking good!

Been very interested in orange lately. I never really liked orange until now. Here are some of my recent finds.

Rescued!

From the dumpster! (Thanks to my cuz) I really don't have a place for these fixtures, but someday I will.

This one's a keeper

Oh yeah.

I love these frames.. Might just keep the original pics.

Up!

Looking forward to seeing Pixar's new film Up! Which comes out tomorrow. I haven't seen Cars yet, but I love all their other films. The short films are great too. This is one of my favorites: Lifted.

Street Signs

Saw a cool article in the Chronicle about this guy who makes furniture out of old streets signs. I'm so jealous.

Der Schlafer

Finally got my German Sleeper Poster! Hurray!

And here's a funny clip for you to enjoy.

Thrift Store Madness

Erin and I were bad and made a day of it. Went to a few stores, near and far. And found lots of treasures!

Stitched Plants.
Baby Ben Clock.
Salton Hotray in original box.
Lazy Susan, vase, and green jar chopper (I'm sure there is a better term for it).
Coffee pots and syrup dispenser. Plus pink aluminum canister on left:)

But it's Broken....

I still like it though...Sparkly!

Future Projects

Found a cute side table for free on the street! It needs some paint, knobs, and a new top.

Also, I am planning on designing a poster of my first car- I know, it sounds cheesy, but I really loved that van! Soon, it will be hanging above my tv.

mmmmmm!

Nelson De La Nuez

I came across this artist at a street fair a few years ago. Very pop-like, clever, and fun. I have a few of his prints and would love to get more.

"Dorothy in the Hood"

"Candyland"
"Alice is Daliland"

A whale of a tale

Found this cutie at Salvation Army and couldn't say no. Not sure what to do with him.. There is a hole in the top, but it's a little too small for a plant. So, maybe a jewelry dish? Suggestions?

More Jewelry

Made some jewelry as gifts recently.

Mercedes Sosa Poster

Here's a picture of my poster!

Hornsea Pottery

Found some amazing pottery at Salvation Army--cheap! I'm going to start looking for more on ebay. Here is a picture of the set. (Thanks mom!)
And some more beautiful pics I found online- it's from the 70's!
