Goodbye.......

The time has come for me to say goodbye

to this little blog as I feel BOHO know longer repesents me..Closing the store and moving to San Francisco had been quite an adjustment for me and  I need a fresh start..

I feel that new doors are opening for me as old ones close..

And feel this blog will be more suited to where I am right now in my life...

So in saying that for those lovlies that would still like to read my blog.....I have started a new one....

Missing....

Spring is here, and I am missing my garden so much..But, I do have to say my daugter(she is renting our house with some friends) has suddenly found she has a green finger and has been been doing an awesome job on the garden..
  Our landlords did clear are very over grown yard this week, so I will have some space this year. Even though we have to share it with our upstairs neighbor. I am looking forward to planting some veggies and flowers....
   But right now I am really loving these outside spaces and wishing I coulod wiggle my nose and they would magically appear in my space...

Sorry I cant remember where I found these but if you know please email me so I can give credit.

Good Morning Monday.....

New day...New Week...

Hope my focus is clearer then this picture....

how was your weekend....

Mine..busy....
  Friday I went to an Estate sale...there wasnt much there..ok let me rephrase that there was tons there but not much for me...I did get some great vintage postcards from England that I am going to use as save the date invites for our renewing or vows ceremony in July..A cute little book and a Beatles lunch box for my son as he loves them...
  But I also went to a Goodwill Depot( now Im not sure if I am excited about this place or not..Cheap..Definately..But very dirty and smelly you just dig through bins of crap and hope you will find great things..
Which yes I did.

1. a vintage globe for my daughter ( I had found one the week before at my local GW but it was 24.00 Yikes)way to expensive but this one a 1.00 yes a 1.00.
2. some glass for my ceremony(its all going to be recycled)
3. 4 vintage dresses..yey me..
5. 3 books
6. vintage sheet
7. purse
 They weigh it all and then tell your price...and my total was... wait for it..
$11.00 I know right..Great deal.. So I guess I have to put the smellyness(is that a word) out of my mind and go there again next time im in my hometown..
I also picked up a new piece of furniture to work on form anothere thrift store...
Here are some pics of my finds...

Mini vaca

We just got back from a mini vacation to texas..Our friends live in Houston so we popped over for 4 days..And we got to go to Austin (whoop whoop) I have always wanted to go there..
And surprise surprise it was the south southwest festival......bands crafts food and drinks oh my oh my..

                                          We had a great time and met even greater people..

       Now back to rainy San Fran..getting ready for a craft show up in Sacramento this weekend....

I've been thinking....

What is my interior style??? Am I modern or country,shabby chic, or maybe contemporary????

And the answer is none of the above but all of the above..If I could I would have a different house for each style ok maybe thats a little extreme..but maybe a house with enough rooms for all my styles..

So of course im going to say my style is Boho Eclectic..

Here is some of my favorite rooms right now....oh and my dream country getaway.......

1,2,5 & 6 White Trash Beautiful

My sons best friends had there baby this week and he is just beautiful..So because they live in portland and all of there good friends live in calif..and my son is in Italy. I came up with the idea of making baby bohdi a blanket made out of the friends t-shirts..I finished it just in time and shipped it off last week..I hope they love it..
I really didnt do any thrifting this week as we did volunteer work this weekend, and also not having a car makes it extremly difficult to get around..But I did score these great mugs last weekend at an estate sale..and there was 6 of them!!!
We are off to Texas on thurs to see our good friends..Im so excited to see them..And I get to go to Austin!!!!!!Ive wanted to go there for a long time..I will take lots of pics and post them next week..

I have been MIA....

I have been having a pretty difficult time setteling into our new home and city..So, I havent felt upto being productive or writting on my blog..But as of yesterday I kicked myself up the but and said get over it..As my friend always says It is was it is..And I can't change anything for two years...
So, starting today I will be looking for the positive in this move(but I cant promise that it will be everyday..we all have some down days don't we)I will be just having alot less of them...

And today I started off with a bang...I took pepper for a very long walk..(poor thing I sometimes forget he is only a little dog and gets tired quickly)and then came home and finished this........

Please meet Miss Margret..

And though I would love to keep her..She is going up for sale today....
Hope you all have a great day...I know i'm going to...

Goodbye to Miss Em

I have sold Miss Em and will be delivering her to her new home in San Francisco today..Goodbye you will be missed..

Magazine Love....

It hasnt stopped raining here for 2 days....BLAH!!!
So I caught up on some magazine reading..I just love Living Etc. which I have always thought of as a close version of our Domino(which is sadly no more)For some reason the English magazine market has not been as hard hit as ours,and many of the mags are still around..But thats a good thing as we can enjoy them too even if we are across the pond as they say...
Here are some great pics from http://www.livingetc.com/

I love.......

Im loving these outfits.....

They have a bit of a 70's feel to them...
