Craft Fair

For all of those who didn't see my extremely professional and amazing set up at the cabin fever gift show, (brown fabric clad foam core display boards never looked so good!), here are some photos!

Map.

Ben and I are about to move into this big empty house for a bit, which is not decorated. We have a few posters and paintings, but I thought we could use a map. And just now, thanks to the always-up-to-speed-on-all-things-I-need-in-my-life-without-knowing-it-Sarah Brin- i found the map i need. but it's $60 more than I can spend on a map of the world. (It's $60.00.)

Instead, I'll just stare at it for a long time, and imagine how amazing it would be hanging up in the living room.

Cabin Fever Craft Fair - Check

I think I love craft fairs. I love talking to other vendors, I love setting up. I even love waiting hours after you're done setting up, waiting for the show to open to the public.

I love not peeing all day because I'm too lazy/scared to go to an art gallery down the street and take an elevator upstairs to a bathroom with a line.

I love forgetting that I haven't eaten anything all day, except a Cliff bar. And a gigantic Arizona Iced Tea.

I love having people laugh at my Beard Is Good keychain.

Some of those sound sarcastic, but they aren't!

Anyhooslebees, I don't know where my camera cable is, so I'll post some pics later.

New Pacman Rings!

SO, for the Cabin Fever Show this weekend, I made a few sets of a special edition Pacman ring set!

The pacman faces are made from antique silver dimes, and the dots are hammered blobbits of silver, oxidized to a nice black! To get your own set, i guess you'll just have to come to the show!

Vintage Calendars

Thanks, Sarah, for leading me to all of these amazing vintage calendars!

More Valentines

I typed up a new card for the I Love You pendant.

I've decided that for the Cabin Fever show THIS WEEKEND, I'm going to bring my typewriter and offer personalized valentine's card for the jewelry if it's a gift. Good idea? i hope so.

New and Improved Scarab Necklace!

I jazzed up the scarab necklace with little sea glass beads that I fell in love with!

Spotted

EDIT: Today I saw the sculpture at the bottom labeled an Eric Boyer in a consignment shop. I was about to go back tomorrow and buy it, when THE Eric Boyer commented on this post (see comments!) saying it wasn't his. SO. I won't be getting it. This is a real Eric Boyer:

FAKE:

Bows Are Cute (Like you)

I'm getting the hang of this jewelry/Valentine thing. See em here!

Curtains

I would do drastic things to get someone to sew me kitchen curtains out of this fabric.

Efficient gift giving.

Card+jewelry= easy gift!

My Bikey Valentine

I spent most of the rainy day making little valentines day cards to put some jewelry on. My favorite so far is the bike one. Coming up next...the overly crafty display they are going on!

Gloomy Day Fix

I keep expecting to see Eeyore sitting outside in my driveway looking sad.

Not really. But it's rainy and cloudy enough for that!

Anwyay, I came across this photo that I took a couple years ago of a dumpster by my dorm, and it always makes me smile.

Joan's Pen Necklace

(img via Love it a Lot)

Lately I've had such an urge to watch Mad Men, but will have to wait for the new season to start this summer. Sad.

Speaking of Mad Men, for the holidays, I bought my mum a necklace like the one Joan wears because a) she loves Joanie and b) she loves pens. And is always missing hers. How perfect? Anyway, if you feel the need to have a pen necklace too (because who wouldn't want that?) I found a knock off on Amazon from 1928 Jewelry Company.

My latest 2Modern Blog post..

I nearly popped from joy when I saw these images of an Ikea table done up in legos. A Parisian design team called Munchausen, which is made up of Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, bought the kitchen island from Ikea and covered it in 20,000 Legos.
