find and the Pagholz chairs were a bargain at Neophobia, a local mid-century vintage furniture store.
This is my favorite organizer. It is a metal dry erase board from the Target clearance bin, with magnetic canisters from World Market. They are the perfect size for ribbons, thread, pins, etc.
This is one of my favorite projects: fabric covered button pushpins. The idea came from Jessica at How About Orange. She has a great tutorial here. This a very relaxing and fun project, that has also indulged my love of fabrics... Right now I'm working on a batch to send to my Grams.
So about a month ago I decided I absolutely must have a bike. I live in a neighborhood in New Orleans where many people ride bikes. I decided it would be really nice to be able to ride to pick up dinner half a mile away, rather than driving. I could also use the exercise.
The thing that has kept me from getting one thus far: I hadn't ridden a bike in about 13 years, I was a bit (okay a lot) afraid that A. I wouldn't remember how and B. this would certainly cause an immediate head injury. And C. the cost, because of course not just any old bike would do, it had to be a cool vintage one of appropriate color.
So this morning I ran (well...drove) to a garage sale near my house and voila...a bike that meets my standards. It is an older version of this Schwinn bike but without the fenders.
I nervously practiced in the parking garage below my building, and then took it out for a spin around the neighborhood. I am happy to report that A. I can still ride a bike and B. NO HEAD INJURIES...YAY!
Serving trays make me very happy...more to come on that... and this YELLOW lamp was a Craigslist bargain!
