Owl Obsession

by Vanessa on September 1, 2010

I really don’t think I’m just imagining this trend. I’ve been seeing these creatures everywhere! Not just in the obvious places, but in nearly every store and used in almost every design aesthetic imaginable! This cute creature that’s been popping up is the owl. Maybe it’s the big eyes or the fun colors you can make any owl into, but I’ve been seeing them everywhere! Don’t get me wrong, I adore owls. I have a gorgeous owl necklace (purchased before this trend got so big), and recently bought some owl stationery. With this trend in mind, the following inspiration board features owls seen in many different settings around the web. Why do you think owls have gotten so popular? P.S. – You MUST see the close up of the Owl Invasion Apron. It is so dang cute! And it matches that birth announcement by Dee & Lala perfectly… I think it would make the perfect baby shower gift!

SF Event – Unique Holiday Gift Ideas

by Marina on December 7, 2009

marina sf fair; SF Event Unique Holiday Gift Ideas

This holiday season I am obsessed with finding unique, one of a kind gifts for my friends and family members.  And I’m already feeling like I’m running out of time and ideas. That’s why I’m heading over to the Bazaar Bizarre San Francisco Craft fair this coming weekend. In it’s fourth year in San Francisco, it features over 100 carefully selected artists and designers of indie and handmade goods such as stationery, clothing, pottery, body products and more.  There’s going to be music, craft workshops and food. And, 50% of the door fees will be donated to arts education organizations.  Sounds good to me.

The other reason I’m going is to visit with some of Cardstore’s fab artists: Dee and Lala will be there as will the gals from Dutch Door Press.  And, Jaime Zollars will also be there.  She even created this poster for the event (see above).  I can’t wait!  And I hope to see you there!

Event information
When: Saturday December 12th & Sunday December 13th, 2009
Where: San Francisco County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
