Had a great time at the East Los Angeles Farmer’s Market this morning. A small market, but definitely a hidden gem of the East Side.
Now.. to put all of this good produce to use!
The Want List
Inspired by a question posed by the folks at Baggu this morning, I dreamt up this perfect little outfit for Spring! Of course, the only thing missing is a camera and that airline ticket from LAX-JFK.
1) Haney Dress, Steven Alan 2) Yellow Colorblock Hat, Target 3) Old Tennis Shoe, Swedish Hasbeens 4) Heart Shaped Buckle Belt, Asos 5) Lucite Ball Necklace, Far4
Now, who’s ready for a trip?
The Want List
I love to window shop. The best part about it is that you don’t have to take it all home, but sometimes- just sometimes- you find a few things that are so special you just have to make room.
Enter, The Want List.
1. Teak measuring spoons 2. Classic Chemex Coffee Brewer 3. Dansk Teak Ice Bucket 4. Ego Coffee Cup and Saucer 5. Heath Ceramics House Numbers in Yellow
vintage california
One of the most fun parts (so far!) of wedding planning has been dreaming up exactly what the day will look like. To set the tone, I started collecting vintage California postcards… It’s been a fun task, involving many hours on eBay and a few trips to the flea market.
The not fun part? Sending all of these beauties off, as save-the-date cards. So I decided to scan them all– yes, all!– so I can continue to enjoy them.
I have a lot of these, so there will be more to share, later!

Prints for sale
Exciting news in the Minor Thread shop! I’ve finally found the time to produce more woodblock-mounted prints, and they were added to the shop last night.
A few of my favorites (well, they’re all my favorites, of course..!)
See all of the available prints in the Minor Thread shop, and stay tuned for more awesomeness through the summer!
two thoughts
There are two thoughts, circling through my head.

This, my friends, is why I can’t make a decorating decision to save my life!
vintage love :: gingham
I came across these vintage cotton napkins a while back, and have been quietly keeping them to myself. However, they’re too cute not to share!
I really don’t need to add to my collection of vintage cloth napkins, so I decided to make them available in the shop.
More delightful gingham goodness!

Sometimes, it’s good to get back to your roots. Remember what brought you to an art form in the first place.
This past weekend, I had a lot of time to think about just that. And as much as I appreciate the ease of creating images digitally, I do often miss the smell of the darkroom, the sight of prints drying on the rack and the feeling you get when something comes out just right- the first time, or after hours after hour, perfecting a skill.
A lot of that gets lost, without the use of film. I know that there are other skills and standards with digital work, but it’s just different.
In a good way.
currently obsessed with…
The Croc Pile!
This is one of those items that I definitely do not need, but oh if I could find a reason to buy it… I would. Endless hours of entertainment– I can see it now.
Just stack ‘em up!
