Tildie, the larger ostrich is almost complete...
Also started this hanging light fixture. Most of the bulbs are decorative, but I am adding some tomorrow that will be illuminated.
I came across the yarns of Habu Textiles a few months ago but had not seen such a selection until visiting Knitterly in Petaluma. The range they offer is incredible! Habu hand crafts all these amazing fibers, some with paper even. I don't know how to knit, but purchased these in hopes of using them to tie tags, wrap packages and even embellish paper shoes. Will post pics once I create something!
So a "perfect" day for me would include tea, something delicious to eat and a walk in a pretty setting. If you add a great find of unique store or some treasure, then the day is complete. Based on those guidelines, I guess I had the perfect Saturday...
Second, a trip to the Farmers' Market for French melons, nasturtium salad greens and some other goodies...
Third, a trip to UC Berkeley's Botanical Gardens...
Last, lunch at Sol Food in San Rafael. Delicious plantains, homemade sparkling limeade, black beans and rice and greens tossed in the tartest, spiciest hot sauce I've ever eaten!
Spent the morning and afternoon at the Alameda Point Flea Market. I was there at 6:30 for a couple of hours before jaunting off to Pt Reyes to drop Aaron off at work. I still had plenty of antiquing hours left in the day, so I returned to Alameda and met my Mom for some good ole' fashion shop till you drop time! I found a couple of great buys, but after the sun shone through the grey morning, the crowd swelled to breaking and I was happy to call it quits around 2. Its a great show if you can make it... the 1st Sunday of every month, rain or shine!!!!
