Moving Over

I'm going to experiment blogging from Flickr. For me it's all about the photos anyway and I seem to be doing double duty uploading my images to Flickr and then coming over here to post them again. If I have withdrawal symptoms – I'll be back but until then, dear reader (hi Tracy) you can find me over here http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluecoat/

Having fun in San Francisco

Jam-packed weekend. Saturday night we went to Lisa's opening at the Reform School and enjoyed meeting her and splurging on a piece. I love it!

Sunday afternoon I flew up to San Francisco for business and made a pilgrimage to Doe. Lots of yummy stuff to buy.

I spent today at the City Club for an Adaptive Path conference listening to a stellar list of presenters. A highlight for me was Caterina Fake, the co-founder of Flickr. As is always the case with these conferences you take on so much in such a short period - I feel like my head is going to explode.

Buttons

I picked up a bunch of covered buttons at my local thrift store. Someone obviously had fun with a button maker and never got around to using them all. I'm in love with all the bright colors.

But my favorites are these sweet little polka dot ones.

Goodies

Vintage wrapping paper has to be one of my most favorite things. Look at the amazing paper Tracy wrapped my birthday present in this year...sooooo beautiful.

And you know you have a good friend when she gives you the very same thing from Superbuzzy you ordered for yourself the week before. Hers is much nicer however as it comes with a ribbon and dachshund linen tape.

And as if it could get any better look at this beauty – Thanks Tracy!
