Oh, and happy, happy Friday.

I’m off down to L.A. this weekend…hanging with my pop. Not doing much.
Have a great weekend and I will be back on Tuesday, and raring to go!

Al’s Attire is a somewhat secret San Francisco institution. Tucked away on Grant, a tiny back alley of a street in North Beach, Al’s a tailor to the un-trendy, but well-heeled fashionistas by the bay. Looking for a classic, vintage coat? Al’s your guy. And if you’re looking for a special suit custom made, or if you are simply needing to revamp, redux your wardrobe this is the place to come. Al will put the funk back in your fuddy-duds with excellent craftsmanship and attention to the tiniest of details. It’s such a great shop, even if you just need some stylish inspiration. Go see the attire that is Al’s.

Gocco Grazie!!

Thank you so much to Erin at Elements of Style! She just sent me this link to her blog and a photograph of my hand screened Normal Is Over Rated gocco print framed and included in her lovely art collection. I love her framing and feel so honored. Making art rules!! And seeing it on your walls just makes me smile. I will be adding more of these to the etsy shop next week. Thank you Erin!

World of Calm.

From Camilla Engman.

This is a huge thanks so much to everyone for sending me, and posting photos of your lovely Keep Calm and Carry On posters in your homes. It’s so fun and very rewarding to see them all hung so beautifully and being appreciated, all the way from places like Finland, to Singapore, South Africa and Brazil. It’s just one big happy, calm world. And it’s so nice to see this old WWII reproduction print’s message still resonating with us today. Here’s a peek at the homes of so many of you who have purchased them from my etsy shop. Thanks so much!
