Birds! Birds! All kinds of birds!

(OK, we totally just watched James Franco on the Tizzle Wizzle Show again. Jammies, pills, & knives!) Winter always makes me long for the outdoors and this year we’re all about the birds. We were inspired by this DIY version of a much more expensive lamp from Anthropologie as well as a cute mobile of [...]

Girlie weekend!

Steph, Nikki, Alicia and I checked into a hotel Saturday night with plans of cocktails, shopping, and a wonderful grown-up dinner. All went well until poor Alicia sliced open the tip of her finger on my picnic knife. So off to the ER she went. Once everyone was back in the room, we sat up [...]

Date night!

First we’re having cocktails with friends at The Wit’s rooftop lounge, then we’re going to Moto, a restaurant I’ve been dying to check out for the longest time.

Etsy find: Zeng

A few months ago I ordered a pair of Zeng’s prints for my daughter’s room. The pieces are admittedly a bit spooky, but nonetheless beautiful. Zeng’s subjects are usually ballerinas with bunny heads or royal deer dressed in dapper suits. The prints start at around $8 and arrive from the Chinese artist’s studio printed on [...]

Etsy find: One more way to love Alice in Wonderland

2 things I’ve always loved: Alice in Wonderland and type. I have engaged that story in so many different ways. At one point I was in a band named for one of the books in the series. I have a set of prints gifted to me by the very sweet widow of Ayers Houghtelling, an [...]

I LOVE this show! When I decided to open the shop, this is the first show I went to a couple of years ago. It was such a great experience that I look forward to it each season. I even took the day off work so I could indulge in an entire day of browsing [...]

Haunt: Jan’s Antiques

Looking around Chicago for fixtures for your old home? Anything from keyplates, to heat registers, to spindles, chandeliers, and tiles. It would be easier to list the things they don’t have and everything they do have, there’s lots and lots of. Fi and I found ourselves at Jan’s yesterday after a trip to Salvage One [...]

Etsy find: Vintage enamel tackle boxes

Vintage tackle and tool boxes make me sooooo happy. My attitude has always been that if you need a functional item, there’s no sense in going with the bla-dee-dah. Why not find something that ads color, history, charm and function? I can think of a gazillion uses for an old enamel tackle box. Anything from [...]

Will, Dave, the flea, and me.

Will, Dave, the flea, and me.

Will, Dave, and I loaded up and headed out to an area flea market this morning. I’ve been nursing a bug to not just sell new stuff in my shop, but to find cool vintage stuff to re-purpose and craft into some new little thing. Today my laser beam focus was on silver plate. I [...]
