California Family Retro

This is one of my favorite photos. Right now it's my shop banner, because to me it is quintissentially Califorina vintage. This is not some random photo either. This is my mother, left and my aunt sunning on the back of the family boat, circa 1950s. Grandma is surely stearing while grandpa--always with a camera--shot this photo. They were both avid water skiers. Love aunt G's scarf and glasses. So fabulous.

I scoured the cabin searching for these water skis, but I'm afraid they are long gone. I wanted to hang one above this photo in my living room. :-) Family history makes great art.

Back to School

Dahlila hasn't been getting the attention she deserves. The typewriter sits idle. The yarn basket runneth over. Distracted by other projects & mishaps life just got in the way.

Back To School

I'm brushing up on my graphic's skills this spring, antiquated as they are. (I can run a Multilith 1250 printing press with feed control, cut and bind your paper reams, hand set your business cards, but in InDesign? I learned it then lost it. Oh my.)

Once that project is under way my Naughty Thoughts cards will be getting a makeover. My fingers can't take the typewriter anymore--neither can my neighbor or my dog.

So, keep your eyes open for new and improved cards. You never know what I will say. ;)
