The Ferocious Few
One of my favourite parts of going shopping downtown is the chance of seeing The Ferocious Few playing on Market. This is the only band I have seen play on the street where actually tons of people stop to watch. I was super happy to see them yesterday because the night before my sister and I were suppose to go see them play at a bar, but didn't feel like it anymore. We got to see them on the street the next day! I am also secretly in love with both members.

New Echino fabric!
I told myself I wouldn't do much Etsy blogging, but I am so obsessed with the new Echino line (as always). I made up this purse last night. I have lots more of the new stuff and can't wait to get some more done!

ArtFire
So I decided to join ArtFire. I am too busy right now to have two online shops, but I figured in the Fall I might be able to hack it. You can't beat the promotion right now. $7.00/month for ever. I still don't know the site too well yet, but we will see how it goes.

Marc Jacobs' Coat!!!!
I think I might have broken my record for an awesome deal. I spotted this great coat at Bloomindale's last Tuesday after I got my hair cut. I wrote it off as something way too expensive that I would never consider getting. It was $658. I thought I'd keep my eye on it as there can be some pretty good sales. I had gotten these Bloomingdale's coupons in the mail this week, but didn't think much of them because I didn't think the coat would apply. I phoned Bloomingdale's this morning and turned out they do work! I got 40% off the total price and an extra $125 off with my coupons. It came to $269 ($292 with tax)! I couldn't believe it. I also got two $15 gift cards and now have enough points on my Bloomingdale's card to get another $25 gift card. Now I can get a super price on a new pair of jeans! All my xmas money is going toward this coat!

New Additions
My mantle has gotten a few new additions lately. I'm a big fan of the black vintage deer I got in Pacifica.

Thread
Last time my parents came to visit my dad made this for my thread. I think it almost looks like a piece of installation art.
My Bernina
I love my Bernina. Well I certainly didn't pay only $35 for it, like my sewing machine, but I could not live without it. It has paid for itself! Probably the best investment I have ever made.

My Elna
I feel so lucky to have this great machine. My mom found it at a flea market in Winnipeg for $35. It is the same make and model (but different year) that my mom bought when it came out in the 1960s. I grew up sewing on that machine of my mom's and she still uses hers.

The Mission
I spent Sunday shopping in the mission (and a quick trip downtown to Bloomingdale's and anthropologie) with my sister.
Highs: little otsu, David Egger's Pirate Supply store, seeing The Ferocious Few play at Market and Powell, Frijtz's
Lows: seeing someone barf in a Guardian newspaper box and Fritz's EuroPop decor.

Stationery
I love stationery. Etsy has renewed my obsession with it. I had taken about a 10 year break from madly buying it up because I got sick of only finding Sanrio stuff. Lately I have bought this stuff off Etsy:
From http://hidenseek.etsy.com
And finally I bought something from CharlieMotel (http://charliemotel.etsy.com):
Sadly, CharlieMotel is closing down. Get her stuff on sale when you can!

The Linnaeus Bag No. 2
I don't usually post my Etsy stuff, but I just love this bag! It's one of my favourite Japanese fabrics, but I can't find it anywhere now!

Best Birthday Ever
My sister took me to Disneyland for my birthday. We flew there Saturday AM left Sunday AM. It was way too fun, but also exhausting. I hadn't been there since like 1989 or something. Fantasyland was still my favourite part.

Arnold Schwarzenegger signed my Master's Degree
My mom could not stop laughing when I told her this. I am a laughing stock of my Canadian family and friends! Good thing I find it quite funny myself.
