and then there were none

its already monday? what in the what?!?! well my weekend flew by! i want to say hi to all my new followers, HI! thanks so much for joining me and i can't wait to get to know you all!

well, i didn't get much of a weekend, but i did really enjoy my time. friday i worked instead of having the day off because friday night my work was having a holiday party and they wanted me to sell my creations so i totally jumped at the chance. here is a little peak into where i work. i really love the shop so much!

the discs are my co-workers art. these little guys are so cute and i just love seeing them on the wall every day.  kelly dreyfuss is her name and she does some really great work! once the party stated it got really crazy at the shop, drinks were flowing and everyone was having a great time :D

saturday tom and i woke up bright and early to go to my last craft show. it was soooo windy which made it really hard to ride our bikes but it was so nice to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

the wind died down and all went really well at the craft fair! since i had left my suitcase display at kelly-anne's house and we weren't able to go up and pick it up, my co-worker gave me her wood displays she had made a few years back and they worked out perfectly! they were really really great and i am so thankful to have such a great friend and co-worker.

after the show tom and i had a beer to celebrate and i popped into my favorite shop, pretty penny and picked up this sweet new cape! tom had spied it for me, he knows me so well! later that night i met up with my cousin and sister -in-law for sushi and breaking dawn, such a horrible guilty pleasure and if anyone cares, the books are waaaaaaay better then the movies! 

my new cape!!!!

 well, a nice weight is off my shoulder now. i am meeting with two other shops who are gonna carry my jewelry so i need to finish up a couple things for my meetings with them this week :D

hope you all had a great weekend. did you go to any craft fairs this weekend?

bicke chick outfit!

happy wednesday everyone!! thank goodness it is wednesday which means two more days till the weekend and my little niece's birthday bash! she is turning 2 on friday!!! she is growing up so fast and she gets cuter every time i see her! and i especially can't wait to give her the cape we bought her!!! she is going to look FANTASTIC in it!! will share pictures of her party next week!


well anywho...today's bike chick outfit is a favorite. this was the film from when i lost the minolta hi-matic on bart....

i have become a bit obsessed with the mustard yellow color lately and the sweater i am wearing is one of my favorites! i love the collar on it and that it is super warm and soft! it is over a dress that i bought in la when me, my cousin and sister in law went shopping for bridesmaids dresses.

i am on my way to work in this picture and it was oh so cold that morning so it was important to have tights on that day as well as my wool coat and gloves, which by the way i got new fingerless gloves with mitten pull overs from target thanks to jesse! thanks sweetie, i am loving them!!

i am almost ready for riding in the rain...just need some rain boots which i have been waiting for the right pair but i think i am just going to get black as they go with everything. any suggestions?

bitter sweet

hope everyone had a great weekend! the weather was AMAZING over here perfect for a nice day in the sun and a bike ride. the mister and i woke up early on saturday got ready and then jumped on our bikes and headed out to oakland to try a new park out called mosswood park. we heard of a really awesome deli that is off of telegraph called genova's delicatessen so we headed there first before going to the park. i ordered a prosciutto sandwich and the mister ordered a pepper turkey sandwich. i grabbed a root beer and the mister grabbed a couple of beers. since it was an itailan deli i new it would have my favorite italian candy, boci. this candy always reminds me of my nona who passed away many years ago. she would always give me boci whenever we went to her house...it always felt so special and is a happy memory one that i will always remember.

the park was great, we had it pretty much to ourselves. set up our mexican blanket and sat down under the redwood trees to eat our sandwiches...they were delicious! took a couple of super cute pictures of the mister and just lazed around until the sun started to set. we packed up and went on our way back to bart. when we got off bart halfway home through the neighborhood i realized i didn't have our camera bag...I LEFT MY FAVORITE MINOLTA CAMERA ON BART!!!!!!!!!!! we brought two cameras and i was somewhat relieved that the other camera wasn't in it. i would have felt even worse if it was. i am so upset for leaving it on bart, it seems i can never get pictures of the mister for some reason :( right when i got home i filled a lost item report and have been checking my email and phone every second in hopes that someone has contacted me that they have our camera. i still feel so horrible, i mean it is just a thing and i can buy another one but i am one of those people that consistently is loosing something...so i have no pictures of our day in the sun...oh well it was a great day anyways!

but before we went into the deli we stopped at ruby's garden which has the cutest kids wear. our little niece, clementine is turning 2 this year and both saw these really cute super hero capes that we couldn't pass up so we bought her one! we were going to get the eye mask & wrist guards but they didn't have one that matched her cape so we left our # so the own could contact us when they scome in....isn't it cute!!!!!!! i can't wait to give it to her so she can run around like a maniac in it! she is going to be the cutest little superhero ever!!!!!!
