Hugs for Buster

Seriously, that injury hurts like f@%k. Get well soon, buddy. I'm still mending from my break- took my first standing Muni trip yesterday since Feb 3rd.

More to Come

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.

Gross Olde Timey Food is Gross

I have 2 upcoming craft fairs this month and I'm trying to do something ridiculous for both of them- sew 500 wallets in 17 days while still going to band practice, work at my day job, remember to feed the fish, and see some sunlight in the meantime.

Here's a "before" photo of the six I sewed before work today (eff you, blogger, for not letting me rotate this):


-Stay Slim the Hollywood Way by eating diet bread and not exercising
-St. Francis Theater and the Warfield used to have plays
-Mediocrity makes a difference in pickles
-5 cent ice cream cones from Merrill's
-TANG used to be a SPAM-like product
-Groceries were charged in 1/2c increments

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 ;)

Capsule Design Fair

Look for Heathered at:

I'll be in Booth #8, on Octavia between Hayes and Fell.

This event is about Independent Design, not "discount brand-name shopping or hippy craft browsing" (not that there's anything wrong with hippies). It celebrates the creative core of local individuals that are the artisans of our time. I'm honored to be a part of it.

Indie Bazaar at the Metreon

After you see the new owl movie, come on down to the 2nd floor. I'll be selling my wares from 12-5. It's free to get in.

Union Design Fair (formerly Capsule SF)

Neighborhood (#4)

I just made a new/old wallet series of SF neighborhoods. Each wallet has a different grouping of San Francisco neighborhoods. When you move to a new neighborhood, you make it your own but don't always forget about your old hood so your current one, depending on how far you moved, becomes a bit bigger- that's why the "Haight Wallet" sometimes will include the Sunset or West Add.

I've also found a few handmade things that incorporate someone's personalized map of San Francisco.

Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas by Rebecca Solnit

Gangs of San Francisco - awesome 1800's symbols from neighborhood gangs of sf.

Speaking of The Haight, The Chutes seems like an odd thing to form a gang around but maybe it was just that dangerous. This excerpt is from the GoSF page: "The Chutes opened in 1895 on Haight Street between Cole and Clayton streets. The main attraction was a water ride in which daring patrons careened in an uncontrolled flat-bottomed boat down a 350 foot water flume, hitting a pond at up to 60 miles per hour. The park also boasted a merry-go-round, a zoo and a shooting range."

The Green Zebra

Now you can find my slim wallets at The Green Zebra in The Crocker Galleria (50 Post St, San Francisco, California 94104).

They're an eco-friendly, fashion-forward handmade shop in Downtown San Francisco. Green Zebra's mission is to get beyond the hippy-chic vibe of eco fashion and their target audience is a working professional, 25-45 years old, that wants to live a fashionable and sustainable life 24/7 and the SF tourist.

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.

Urban Bazaar opens today

Urban Bazaar, (9th and Judah, San Francisco, CA) a Fair Trade and locally handcrafted gifts shop in the Inner Sunset, opens today at 11am (open till 7pm).

I'm so happy that they're carrying my wallets- narwhallets, amp wallets, map wallets, airplane safety card wallets, and SF newspaper wallets.
