watchdogs

log box

i ordered a bunch of plastic log boxes last year and was really disappointed with the way they looked. i decided to try and paint them into something i liked better, and this one is almost done.

vase love

i got these beautiful little bud vases here. they are perfect for a few sprigs of scented geranium from my garden.

partial sneak peek

here's a peek at a limited edition, hand silkscreened print i made for the shiny squirrel. it will be launched for sale there around the 15th of this month along with a new batch of special softie surprises. i'll post about them again when they are available for purchase.

i'm famous

just kidding- but my name was in the newspaper today! there is a cool article in the sf chronicle today about "the decor shop as gallery" featuring rose and radish, rare device, the curiosity shoppe, and doe. the sixty forty print club is also mentioned- an idea i came up with as a way for people to purchase affordable, original prints while supporting independent artists and donating to a charity. speaking of which- there are only 6 of my "round" prints left! hurry and get yours- the donation from this print will go to 826 valencia.

room 30

we made an afternoon trip to olympia to visit the lovely jennyrose at room 30. her shop has a great selection of art, home goods, clothing, jewelry, and kids stuff- the kind of shop you always know you are going to find something special. after we visited room 30, jennyrose gave us a behind the scenes tour of olympia where we met sarah utter and peeked into her studio. sarah has some beautiful work up at room 30 right now.

below are some views of room 30- and some small stump goodies! i just dropped off a bunch of prints as well so if you are in the olympia area, stop by and check them out in person.

seattle

i just got back from a mini vacation to seattle. it was so nice to visit with a much missed friend. i have a few photos of the trip i'll post over the next week. these are a few of her house which has beautiful light.
