Unis

It took James’ post about Unis to remind me how much I liked this line when I worked at R.H.  At one of the infamous R.H. sales, I even bought Seth a few of their tees which have lasted for years.

By the way, this is my dream top…

So is this.

Busy week

Hi, sorry if I’ve been lagging with posts.  I was working at the LA Textile Show, studying for an Algebra exam, and planning a baby shower for my friend Kim.  The show is now over, test taken, and the shower a success!  A very busy week indeed.   Next week is Spring Break which will be nice.

I really do think that this is the best Etsy shop for clothing that I’ve seen so far.

1.  Some french macaroons I bought along with some harissa paste and some frozen mini-quiche crusts from a little local spot called Nicole’s Gourmet Foods, which I’d highly recommend.

2.  My sleepy cat.  Used to be a hellion, but you’d never know it.

Etsy pick: Moustache Man

Would it be so wrong to carry my resume in this to an interview?  Notes to a business meeting perhaps?

Weekend Project

Took a set of drawer knobs that have been covered in many coats of paint over the years by my landlords:

vintage, glass, knobs, hardware, restoration, thelooksee

…and with some overnight soaking, some carving, and some scrubbing turned them into this:

vintage, glass, knobs, hardware, restoration, thelooksee

… and finally this…

Etsy vintage pick: Chevron Afghan

If I had $60 to spend on a homemade throw, it’d surely be this one.  Such a great pattern.
