fab friday.
anything beatles, from my free wallpapers.
this very fab friday, i’m feeling a little british invasion coming on. i love a good bit of brit pop decor, and there’s certainly some fabulous finds out there these days. let’s hear for brilliant brit style! what’s a fab friday without a little frivolity and fun?
infamous twiggy makes me want false eyelashes.
union jack linen tea towel, from not on high street; london underground brooch from love from hetty and dave; vintage jack cushion from not on high street; and union jack area rug from exclusively home.
the royal family really gets down in this 1960′s vintage calendar from rasberrys.
pretty green’s bad brit boy liam Gallagher.
is this going a bit too far? the hope and glory sofa from barker and stonehouse, or jimmie martin’s version of the union jack.
who doesn’t love a nice cup of tea tea towel from not on high street.
love poster, from my deco boutique.

just because it’s awesome.
i really love this book mark and bookshelf all in one. you simply mount this piece featuring a cool little ribbon detail on a wall near your favorite reading spot — i like the idea of near my bed — or you can group a bunch together for a whole library. Choose from white, black, or orange from sleek identity.

friday food files with molly watson: Summer Lake Fish.
For most people, summer eating is defined by sweet corn and tomatoes, peaches and melons, hot dogs and hamburgers, ice cream and ice pops.
For me, though, nothing, absolutely nothing, says “it’s summer” quite like pan-fried lake fish. I get it a few times a year while I’m in Minnesota visiting my family (walleye!), but lake fish isn’t so easy to come by in San Francisco. What is easy to find are sanddabs – flat, small, ocean fish with flesh that takes remarkably like the fresh, light, flaky white fish pulled from Minnesotan lakes that I grew up eating.
Whatever delicate white-fleshed fish you have on hand, my favorite way to prepare it is to pan-fry it, but you can always dot it with a bit of butter and broil it, too.
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, I’ll be reading at the Eat Real Lit Fest. Saturday, between 4 and 5, off Jack London Square in Oakland. Come by and say hi – it’s always nice to meet a friendly face!

vintage finds for a modern world: bird and bear.
holy cow, wow. i just stumbled across Bird and Bear, the etsy shop of Brooklyn artist Joetta Maue, and her abundance of beautiful and completely unique hand embroidery blew my socks off. i totally fell for these re-purposed, hand embroidered works of art, all of which are created on one of a kind vintage linens, like hankies and tablecloths.
Joette also accepts commissions for custom images for embroidered portraits, and custom text orders are welcome, as well. I can see these pieces being amazing and very personal housewarming, baby shower or wedding gifts. To see more of Joetta’s work please drop by bird and bear, her website and her blog, little yellow birds.
