You're a wonder, Wonder Woman!

I want this Wonder Woman doll so bad I had to put this picture up! Where will I get $200? How can I justify the expense? These are all questions waiting to be answered...

Here's where I saw her.

Mushroom Tea Set

I love this!!! If I could justify spending the money on a child's tea set for myself, I would absolutely buy this!


...could my cat use this? or my box turtles?

It's available at Mahar Drygoods for $140.

He lives in Italy, I wish I could visit him.

Capsule Design Festival, San Francisco

Hey, Everybody,

Well, it's been a super, mega, busy last month or so for me. I crammed a lot of stuff into a short period of time. But more about that later...

This Sunday I'll be participating in Capsule Design Festival in the Hayes Valley neighborhood in San Francisco. I will be sharing space with the fabulous fashion designer, Mignonette. We are booth 88. If any of you all are around town, please come check it out!

Here's the official word on the street:

Twice a year Capsule hosts over 150 designers for an all day,
outdoor, Sunday extravaganza in sunny, fantastic Hayes Valley.

This first show of 2008 will have 160 independent clothing,
accessory, jewelry, and lifestyle designers. As well as some select
artist, print makers, and producers of some random well conceived
curiosities.

As always the show is free and open to the public. (it is outside) So
come and check it out.

You'll hear a group of DJs, courtesy of Nature Boy, and the Pacific Art Collective returns to adorn an art wall.

DATE: Sunday, May 25th

TIME: 11am-6pm

PLACE: Hayes Valley, (Hayes at Octavia, will put you in the center of it.)

More Shelter-Kit Houses

Build My Own House?

Lately I've been obsessed with the idea of building my own house, mostly because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and housing is way too expensive. Not that building your own house is necessarily more affordable, but...
In a very roundabout way, I came across this company called Shelter-Kit that offers all kinds of kits for building your own home. Some are kinda modernist cool, others are more old-timey cosy, and all seemed to be pretty customizable.
Basically, you design what you want based on different modular units and materials offered, the company makes everything needed (including a super comprehensive instruction booklet), everything is shipped to your site, and you build the house on a foundation you have prepared beforehand. You have to do the interior finishing, plumbing, and electrical, etc. yourself, though.
Anyway, I'm just into the idea of having a lot of control over what's going into my house (as in "no toxic weird stuff") and being able to partially design it myself. Like I could add alpine chalet details, windowboxes, porch, whatever to make it look cool.
So, can I find affordable buildable land lots in the Bay Area? That would be the ultimate challenge to making this little idea a reality.
