flickr surfing

i'm pretty obsessed with flickr...my photos, friends' photos, strangers' photos. here are a few pics that i like, swiped from friends:


from arlo's page


from esteban's page


last but not least, from shawn's page

secretaries are cool

i want to buy this blouse from norwegian wood. old secretary blouses always grab my eye, thankfully she has done some work on making them fit more attractively.

dutch door

i like these letterpressed cards from dutch door. they've got beautiful designs that remind me a bit of the papercuts i've been looking at and old stencilled items my mom sold in her antique shop. their studio is right here in sf!

old school scooter

i've always loved old fashioned toys. even when i was little i was really into the simple wood toys that my dad made. in his retirement, he's been carving alot of replica antique toys including an awesome one where a drunk guy, ale in hand, performs a weird, floppy dance upon the turn of a hand crank.

this handmade scooter is from the 50's and still works! it probably never went all that fast though...which is good cuz that brake is crazy.

i HATE this table so so so so much.

hubba hubba

blown away by science

okay, so i don't understand much more than the adjectives in this article, but the photos are mind blowing. apparently, this is a particle accelerator so large it resides in both france and switzerland. it can collide particles faster than anything anyone ever dreamt about...i think that's a good thing.

a gnome in my home

i like this musical gnome pitcher online at theurbannestsf.com. they also have gnome plates and such.

7 swans a swimming

pretty cards from foxy & winston:

swimwear

i like this bathing suit from anthropologie, even though team tan would never approve. do people really spend $200 on bathing suits? i just go to target.

bulletin board

i just gained a new sewing table, donated by courtney, for my apartment. i had to haul it 10 blocks practically carrying it on my head, so i really want to make good use of it. i'd like a big bulletin board above it. something to which i can stick magazine tear outs and fabric scraps. i'm having a hard time deciding on what color/pattern/format to choose but i like these ones.
