It's Time

Weblogo This probably will not come as a surprise to many of you but it is official, I need a break from blog land. I will be taking a temporary hiatus as I work on the many different exciting things going on right now - but eventually I will be back with new and fresh ideas! Until then, I suggest that you sign up to receive my posts in email form that way as soon as I am back you will know.

I would also like to take this time to remind you of my new project -Lightbox. We will be opening up a artist workspace with a gallery, shop, classes and artist rental space here in San Fran. I would love to have you sign up for our mailing list or become a friend on facebook so you can stay up to date on our events and progress. Join our mailing list by sending an email to list@lightboxsf.comwith Add Me in the subject line. We'll make sure to keep you up to date on all Lightbox happenings

Thank you so much for all of your support and I look forward to staying in touch. Love Shelly

Because you are a special someone

Bonbonoiseau Looking for some ideas to give your honey for VDay? I couldn't imagine anything more special that one of a kind piece from Bonbon Oiseau. I especially like this locket with itsVictorian glass foil inlaid disc and big gold heart - just in case anyone was asking...

There you have it

Ellemoss One of my favorite things to collect right now are photos of people from the knee done. Perhaps it's my shoe fetish...Who knows. This one is a current fav and I must add it to my collection.

Barner

Sarabarner A friend introduced me to Sara Barner as we were looking for inspirations for web designs. Meanwhile while agreeing that yes, her site is gorgeous, I fell in love with her Alder bag for all its simplicity and fine materials. It's that kind of love that makes you wake up at night, roll over and grab the photo that sits on your nightstand. And that kind of love that wakes you up in the morning and says " get up and get to it if you ever want to afford a $400 bag." Oh sweet dark love.

A brighter side

 Batter  I just received the sad news that Domino magazine is closing its doors - just one more issue and that's it. The only thing at this moment that can make me feel better is word that there is a new bakery in town - Batter Bakery. I am headed there in the next few to nuture my sad soul.  Ummm cookies....

Oh sun why did you leave so soon?

Snailandcyclop Well, all of us Bay Area friends sure were spoiled for the last several days. I couldn't help get a little pouty when I awoke to the rainy, chilly day. I had been day dreaming about wearing cute little springy numbers, soaking up day cocktails and riding my vintage Motobecane (but of course, not in that order). Now it is only January and we certainly have a few more months of winter and I have some more time at the gym to prepare for what will be my awesome new warm weather wardrobe. While searching through some old files, I found this great post from one of my favorite fashion inspiration - Snail and Cyclops. This photo of her with another of her great vintage finds totally mirrors what I hope from this upcoming summer. I won't be blond but I will be sporting some really great duds.

oh here it comes..

Hula Yep, I made it another year and am two days away from starting my 36Th year on this lovely planet. Can't say I haven't been a little blue about the upcoming number and I have been searching for ways to relish it as I rightfully should. Andrea of Hula Seventy who I am just smitten with totally inspired me to start a new birthday tradition. She lately posted a list in celebration of the new year and her 38 years of enjoyment. It consists of thirty seven things that she experienced this past year, new and random with of course, incredible photos to document each event. So I am going to be a copy cat and do the same thing, eventually binding each year's account into small books. What a great way of appreciating what the past year has offered you! I love that lady.

Sweet porcelain

Helen-beard-L1070303 After moving into my new place, I have realized that I am well stocked in the area of decorative art. Answer to this - add more shelving because these little porcelain beauties may need not be missed. How adorable is that little hairy chested number?Helen-beard-L1070308

A little extra something

Il_430xN_51169436 Super cute flower corsage on a pretty ribbon. I love the idea of wearing it as a belt against a simple dress. They are available in a couple different colors and types of flowers- the spider gerbera is my favorite. By Grey Goat
