I hit the Oakland Museum of CA's White Elephant Sale last weekend. What an amazing place! A 19,000 square foot warehouse filled with gems that were practically being given away. I got a bunch of craft books, over 20 hardbound classics ($4 to fill a grocery bag), and some bits and bobs for under $10!

This sweet needle set was 50 cents. Since we went late in the day on Sunday, all items were half-price. Score!

Butch Beaver, from a sock craft book.

I really like these pillows!

Excellent colors from a Jaeger pattern pamphlet.

I actually got this above stuff at Pauline's Antiques in Alameda on Saturday, another place I've been meaning to go forever. I have the matching cup to this plate, so I was blown away when I found it!

My new best friend for spring! I love these little honeycomb paper guys. All in all, it was a banner weekend; I mean, I left the house both days!

Happy Presidents' Day!

There's a difference between "sleeping in" and "sleeping until your back hurts and body aches and bedsores form." I might have leaned toward the latter during this three-day weekend, but dammit, that's how I roll.

I had a lovely Valentine's Day which included the aforementioned sleeping in, a first-time viewing of Robocop (a pleasant surprise!), and a ton of mini-hamburgers accompanied by a Kir Royale in Alameda. I am in love with Alameda, probably because it reminds me a lot of San Luis Obispo. I feel comfortable in cities that have a "main street."

Here is some awesome fabric that I think is super-weird; again, what can I make with this? I think a throw pillow might be in order.
