More about Christmas.

I am keeping the Holly Hobby vignettes fabric for now, but the other is available in our other etsy shop thriftstore, and hasn't sold yet, oddly. I want to make pillows from it, or something.








Christmas thrifting find. Vintage fabrics make me very happy.

She is 103 years old and still designing today. I love her.

We have listed a lot of Eva Zeisel Hallcraft Classic Shape Dinnerware in our store that we bought at an estate of a local artist. It is really amazing, beautifully thought out design. (Please note my personal Mexican lobby card of A bout de souffle in the background!) Very fine and formal for low fire ware. Also fragile, from the days before dishwashers (we had to discard a good half of it). Eva Zeisel has had an extraordinary life. (Read about her here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Zeisel and here http://www.evazeisel.org/). She's one of those people who's charisma and beauty has lasted their whole lives.

Ways to Use a Crate

I was editing some photos and I had so many ideas when I was photographing. Too many ideas for one crate. That's when I got the idea that I could use a blog to do this. So some ideas top to bottom: 1. display 2. a tote 3. a desk or table 4. books and records 5. the naked crate
