roll camera

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Man, I wish they had invented one of these stop animation cameras when I was a kid! I would’ve made the best My Little Pony movies in the whole world. And probably would’ve become the next Coppola. Just sayin’.

comfort and joy

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

My grandmother had a tradition of making sock monkeys for each of her grandchildren when we were babies. I named mine “Monk the Monk” and he’s been a constant presence in every home I’ve ever lived in. Even though sock monkeys have become ubiquitous in recent years, I still find them utterly charming. To me, nothing says “comfort and joy” like this set of handmade alpaca ornaments. Merry Christmas, Monk!

tiny baubles

Monday, December 13th, 2010

Last weekend was the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair in San Francisco. There was a ton of crafty goodness to browse, and I knocked a few more names off of my holiday gift-list. Mother-in-law? Check. Sister-in-law? Check. And for myself? Um, check, check, check. I couldn’t help it. The lovely up-cycled jewelry by Cara Lyndon was my downfall. Tell me you could resist this gold necklace with vintage brass lockets? I bet you can’t.

get that elf off my shelf

Friday, December 10th, 2010

I gotta say, I find the whole Elf on the Shelf thing very unsettling. There’s a little man in a funny hat sitting in your room, just waiting to narc you out to Santa? No thanks. But these cast-iron elfin candleholders are cute, and not at all creepy. I could go for that.
