Monday

Tonight for dinner I made mashed potatoes with organic yukon gold and spinach. We both ate really fast in order for zach to run and pick up some tee shirts for new orders and so I could go to the library. I rented an Inconvenient Truth ( because I think we were the only people who had not yet seen it) very powerful. I had seen parts of it on Oprah- but some of it was just amazing when he is discussing scientists who alter their findings or who are forced to lie.

I also rented Disney's Alice in Wonderland because I wanted some inspiration as well as Elizabeth the HBO miniseries with Helen Mirren. I've been on inventory duty for the last two days. Next weekend I'll be at the June 30th, 2007 /PROM as I am affectionatly calling it. It will be my first loner show. So if you come by and I am not at my booth I am either in a port-a-potty or on a coffee run! Zach will be at the Botcon convention- but may be able to help me set up & break down.

This morning and afternoon I worked on finishing up an apron, cutting and pinning a pair of lightweight cotton pinstriped jeans into a skirt, I made a clutch from some vintage fabric I picked up along with some imported Japanese fabric Summer had gotten me. Very Cute! I have so many items to list on etsy, but that is always my biggest pain. That's like after cooking a wonderful meal, you have a loadfull of dishes! Yikes- listing is to load fulls as sewing is to cooking/baking. Hope that makes sense.

Zach's shop, 247 Magnum is doing really well. Take a look~ My Husband's Other Store! Well I will leave you with 3 treasuries we were included in over the last 2 days- how exciting! One is a bunch of other vegheads on etsy xo, another is a fellow PROM vendor and lastly a lover of kites! Wheee







Off to bed, zach needs a ride to the train station tomorrow a 6:45- and I'm the chauffer!

Weekend-

So much going on~ making making making. The plants are doing well in the yard. We were informed a new couple will be moving in downstairs. How exciting. I can't believe on June 24 it will be our 1 year Wedding Anniversary! Time really has flown by it amazes me. We also just had our Etsyversary- on May 31st and missed it!

For the first anniversary I think it is paper. We were thinking about what we'd like to get for each other or what collectively we need. An ipod is on the list as is a subscription to Netflix. Technically netflix arrives in paper.. right? So maybe that will count.

Tonight I listed a new bag, Eyes on the Prize Tote. Tomorrow Mo comes into town for Brigette's get together.

The gears are in motion for new tee designs. I have a few as does Zach. I'd love to start screenprinting, but at this point we have such limited space. Although we could probably do it in the backyard.

Something to think about.

The BIG Art Show at Supreme Trading, Brooklyn, NY

On Saturday, April 14th, we were at Supreme Trading on No 8th in Williamsburg. Here is Zach at our little 5 foot booth set up!

How cute he looks!

A BUnch of Birdies that landed on this plate to be sold! We sold a few of these Luxy the Bird Lapel Buddies.

Rebecca shows off her little birdie on her hip~

Artwork from the show-
Some pieces we didn't get the name of the second photo is artwork of Paul Vogeler. There were some really cool artists, Etsyians and such.



Some of our coffee cuffs- we later grabbed some cups for better merchandising!

A Tire Sculpture on the roof of Supreme Trading.


An old somewhat- abandoned building on Driggs. We thought it was interesting and sort of sad.


You never really know what a craft fair will be like even if you've been there before. Elements like weather,location and other happenings on the same day can really dictate the foot traffic you get. In the case of this fair it was located next to a bar- so there was a busy stream of people coming in- however many of them were there to drink and not shop.

Speaking of drinking- I don't know if it had to do with her alcohol content but the person next to us ( an actual vendor/artist whatever) started changing her clothes on the gallery floor.NOte: there were 3 bathrooms for our use) Slipping a pair of pants on under a dress or skirt- you can get a way with- no big deal- but she then took her dress down and I unknowngly caught a glimpse of bra-ige (sp). Not to mention there were people all over the place!


***************************************************Crafty**************************************************************

Overall we were able to meet a few Etsyians; Sarah from Fort Cloudy,Haasome on Etsy and the guys from Happy Panda. Thankfully the rain stayed away for the day and we were not touched by a drop.

We enjoyed the best falafel of my dear life!!!! and checked out the neat shop JUNK on No.9th & Driggs. Zach and I bought new velcro & canvas wallets for 99 cents! His has a map of Hawaii and mine can fit my check book!
Bye for now xox

My Favorite Turtleneck- it's the softest material ever and has a vintage Macy's tag on it. These are also a pair of my favorite sunglasses! My mom and I bought a pair together- she looks so cute in hers. My dad says we look like cartoon characters!



Hermione leaping around the apartment:


These cuties came from Amy at purl.etsy.com. She has an adorable shop and added goodies in the package! Check her out!


Self-Portrat Thursday 4-12-07 Zach got a call and I mimicked him with a sepia tone.


Our own Hobo photo shoot- We thought it was time I pack my bags and my hankie and ride the rails.These are the tracks close to where I grew up. As a child I would walk on or next to the tracks with friends. There is a small section where it s elevated and looks like it is pieced together with toothpicks!


Today is a showcase, we missed out last time- I was at work- luckily I am off today- have my timers set and I am ready!

Newest Listings on Etsy

These are a few of our latest listings on Etsy. I'm really enjoying the process of making my "Coffee Cuffs"- they're an inexpensive gift for you or someone you know. I made these while watching Scrubs!




The adorable vintage dress I found at church bazaar. I then added a cute tree applique. I hope you love it!

There are so many awesome sellers on Etsy- I really enjoy interacting with them on a daily basis within the Etsy Forums. I received my headband in the mail yesterday from GracieDesigns.etsy.com I'll post a picture ASAP- it came out adorable. Shout out to Kelley!
