monday bliss
yesterday was quite the day. after working on writing most of the morning, i was excited to cut my day short for a "feathered friend" excursion.
as some of you may know, i am an active member of the SF Etsy Group. its a group of Etsy sellers that live in the Bay Area.
since i have been a member, i have made 1 or 2 friends along the way. but now that i am part of a committee for a TOP SECRET MISSION that can not yet be revealed, i've gotten a chance to get to know a few more amazing sellers.
and while i plan on introducing all of them to you, along with their just-as-amazing shops, the blog state as it is would only hinder my intentions of bring them a few new people to their audience.
so that will have to wait until this blog is fixed.
but despite that roadblock, one of my new friends i have met, is a fellow feathered friend, Sarah. she makes really beautiful feather fascinators that are equally as unique as mine. i love her pieces! and since im at the end of my short lived hiatus, i have no problem sending you over to her shop, Looks Good From the Front.
in the future i plan on talking more about her in support of her endeavours, but for now i'd rather skip to the part about how we had a kick ass day yesterday.
we started off, by meeting at Cafe Sorriso in San Leandro, CA. they had a gorgeous asian selection of food. my wonton soup was homemade, clean, nutritious, and exactly what i wanted. i love it when that happens, don't you?
after our lunch, we both drove to Thrift Town. everyone knows im a sucker for thrift finds. im a NINJA!
i found so many amazing things, and luckily for me, Sarah didn't find me a complete wingnut.
a couple other things are still in the car, waiting for the greek to come over and help me unload, but here are some of what i got to bring home yesterday:
my first find was a General Electric Lighted Dial alarm clock. sooo cute:
its' going to look awesome next to my bedstand in the new house! i can't wait.
the prestwick house is all wooden floors, and if i remember right, has no a/c or central heating ( i could be wrong). so i thought it very fitting to find (and BUY) this mint condition vintage Tital Turn-a-Dial floor heater:
even though i love summer, i'm looking forward to be settled in the prestwick house with snuggly socks and a fire on..... everything painted and cozy, and with the help of Titan, warm. :D
this next purchase will make sense when the dining room in the prestwick house is fitted up. but i
just couldn't resist this:
i can't wait for the greek to bring me another bouquet so i can show this off!
i feel so grateful to be meeting such cool people. and Sarah, if you are reading this, THANKS for such a fun time. i can't wait to hang out with you again.
today marks the official TWO WEEKS till the move, and panic mode is creeping up right behind me. last night i managed to pack 4 boxes in the bedroom. aaaahhh. progress!
at last, my [noun] has come along...
wrapped my head around some things today. as in---- finally! got a blog created specific for creating, progressing, and living.
my other blog (private) is not so appropriate at times, and i'd much rather leave it private for strangers. along with the other reasons that come along with privacy, it also give me a certain level of freedom to be raw and unhinged. without judgment.
still working through template issues, and finding a look and feel that will impel me to write, document, and transcribe creative journey.
i started my etsy store just a few weeks ago, right here, and had two sales so far. one from a dear friend of mine in Scotland and the other in Germany.
*thank you!!*
still super excited about it, despite the inaction with sales aside from these two.
after joining the sf etsy street team, i am now signed up for sharing a booth at an upcoming craft fair in pleasanton, ca.
more will obviously be written and posted here.
what i love about all this, is that it feels like..... at.last.

today we had a really enjoyable daisy girl scout meeting. we had it here again, as we live across the street from the lake. our intent was that they would walk through the premises of the lake/park and clean up litter.
there are 11 girls in the troop all 6-7 years old. they are all magical in their own rite. when they are all in a group it can be sometimes tiring, but also... seriously entertaining.
the girls paired up and picked up recyclables and trash. they hated the gloves! but really enjoyed the whole concept of keeping our world a better place.
i was able to take sasha along for the long walk, and the girls thought she was really smelly and rude when she went to the bathroom in the field, and also... felt a lot safer walking through the fields knowing that sasha was scoping it all out.
overheard while guiding them through littered field:
dgs #1: this is soooooo disgusting.
dgs #2: i KNOW.
dgs #1: who would want ever make the world a disgusting place?
dgs #2: poor little birds.
dgs #1: poor stinky sasha.
the cookies arrived, so now my dining area is full of girl scout cookie boxes. bleh! the ocd in me wants to organize and store them away from viewing. but as this is something i know im consciously trying to work on, i staggered them in different piles, and am just avoiding making eye contact on that side of the house.
;p
