Armchair Traveling

I love these vintage 1950's-60's aeronautical maps. Here are some I listed in my Etsy shop today. More from Austin, Chicago, DC, Yellowstone, Sea-Tac and Hawaii soon.

Lofty Goals

I started off 2011 with a broken heart and a broken ankle, both are slowly healing. Now I can go about accomplishing my lofty goals for the year.

Bold = I deserve a gold star

1- Have my wallets carried in one shop in every SF zip code (that has a handmade shop):

94102 (Hayes Valley) R.A.G.
94103 (Financial District, Mission) The Green Zebra- sf map wallets, Needles + Pens- all
94105 Embarcadero & SoMa
94107 Potrero Hill
94109 (Russian Hill) STUDIO Gallery
94110 (Mission, Bernal Heights) Secession Art & Design- MUNI map wallets

94111- (Embarcadero) Bay Crossings- Muni Diaries wallets
94114 Castro, Noe Valley
94115 Pacific Heights, Western Addition, Japantown

94122 (Inner Sunset) Urban Bazaar
94123 Marina, Cow Hollow
94129 Presidio

94131 Forest Hill
94133 North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf

2- Redecorate my apartment

3-Find a drummer

4- Be an Extra

5- Win a contest- Noise Pop New Porns tix.

6- Play BotH, GAMH, Cafe du Nord, Rickshaw Stop, etc. with H,HG.

7- Tour

8- Play music in a foreign country (are you listening, Vancouver?)

I Also Have A Lot of Cookbooks

Seriously, I better start making wallets out of these or my friends are going to put me on A&E. That's the channel with the hording show, right? I don't have cable.

Cooking with Jello and "Gel". Sketchy?

An entire cookbook devoted to lard cakes. Not OK. Ever.

I'm excited about Dining With Dave. He seems classy.

I wonder how long that kid had to hold the sandwich-face-cramming pose. I imagine things taking longer in the '30s.

The 1954 Good Housekeeping mag is mind-blowingly awesome. I love every single page.

I heart San Francisco

Because I'm feeling the love for my city lately, I've listed another stack of San Francisco Neighborhood Slim Wallets in my Etsy shop.

And that's right- another photo of another stack of Muni Fast Pass Wallets. I've finally listed them in my Etsy Shop. This is the last month of the paper Fast Pass so let's celebrate the only good thing about SF public transportation- The Fast Pass!

If you have any old Muni Fast Passes you no longer want, please feel free to donate them to me (or we could trade for some oranges from my tree or a beer)... Let me know in the comments section and I'll get in touch ;)

Long Live the Fast Pass

I just finished a new series of slim wallets-- Old Muni maps printed on heavy cardstock with New Skool's Muni Diaries fast pass.

Here's the nice stack of 48 new slim wallets for MuniDiaries.com. Look for them for sale soon!

Jacques Cousteau, Ghosts and the Frozen City.

I had my 199th Etsy sale on Friday (pats self on back)- a slim wallet of Rome, sold minutes before I went to lunch at an Italian restaurant. do do do do, do do do do.

I have 2 more custom orders to complete and restock the inventory of the 6 shops that carry my wallets before I get to take a break from making wallets (above) and move focus to the band... Hungry, Hungry Ghost.

Until then- more sewing, cold hands, tired fingers, 11 hour work days, and song practice on lunch breaks.

I'd like to do this to that horrible woman in Coventry:

Speaking of England, I posted more Vintage Post Card Slim Wallets today:

New Postcard Wallets in the shop soon

Here's a sample of what the new vintage postcard wallets look like. They're all sent to SF from Europe in the 70's. I love every part of them but the formal addresses are my favorite.

15 New Credit Card Wallets at Urban Bazaar

A friend called asking for 2 card wallets because she keeps loosing her ID and credit cards when she goes out dancing so, last weekend, I made 15 new "going out" wallets for Urban Bazaar. 25 more are ready to be sewn tomorrow night for this weekend's Alamo Square Flea Market.

We are adventuring, we are adventurers

I love this song. It sums up what Heathered is all about- adventuring.

Well, hello there blog readers!

Lots of productivity this week!

Yesterday, I scooted over and dropped off 31 wallets at Urban Bazaar- a brand new women-owned and operated store in San Francisco's Inner Sunset (1371 9th Ave). Here's their Facebook page for more info: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Urban-Bazaar/112855868760120?v=info

Here's a preview of what's at Urban Bazaar

I also started a website: http://heathered.weebly.com/index.html I'm still adding to it right now so look for new how-to videos and better photos (better than my iPhone ones). Weebly was pretty straight forward and easy to set up. It only took about 30 mins to get the basics published.
