Treasure Hunting - SF

Wally..long-time-no-blog. I know we have both been running around for months since our last job together on OurTime. I finally uploaded all the spots to my new website.

Well, my hair is still on fire..but with personal stuff now.

After 11 years in storage, I finally have reclaimed some beautiful pieces that I will share
with you over the next few weeks. Please note the "FRYE Boots" box in the photo above..
That's the real McCoy from my original Frye Boots circa 1975..just the box not the boots (bummer!)


Most of them are in need of some serious TLC.
At the moment, our house looks as though we have just moved in.
Right now it's a bit overwhelming... so much so that I felt the need to get some great style inspiration.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this site that Diane forwarded me from an art director friend.
It's call Pinterest...a great way to digitally scrapbook all your favorite things...and easily reference them.

Check out some of my Pinterest style links here.

and let me know what you think.
I would LOVE to see what pins you come up with.

lol,

Bamboo iphone cases / SF

Dear Wally...

So sorry to hear about your Parisian iphone getting pickpocketed! (Guess it could have been worse...remember when all of our luggage was stolen in Spain)? What a bummer! Your phone and case..too cute...gone! My own case is looking pretty bedraggled...so I started poking around and found these gorgeous laser-cut bamboo cases from GroveMade. GroveMade is based in Portland.

You can also design your own for a completely customized look. Most designs retail for ~49.00.
A fantastic price if you think of it as an art piece.

i want one. what is it?

Dunkle, it's way past my bedtime but i'm site hopping and finding all kinds of crazy stuff. Click here and maybe you can figure out what i will do with this once i have it!

Free Benjamin Moore Paint Chip App for iPhone

Dunkle, here is the link for the Ben ColorCapture App. it's so simple. you open the App, take a picture of your puple chair (or whatever) and it tells you the name and number of the paint that will match it. you can also access "Harmony" - colors that look great with it or "Strip" which will give you all the shades from lightest to darkest for that color. then you put in your zip and locate the store nearest you! btw, i'm lusting big time over that wallpaper. with all this remodeling going on there might be a place for a bold wallpapered wall. do ya think?
