shop local

i am a little behind on everything right now due to the confluence of holiday shopping, holiday entertaining and work: i have been selling my wares at the downtown holiday market! if you need a lovely gift for a gardener, birder or fashionista, please come visit me at this wonderful annual event in front of the national portrait gallery/museum of american art and buy something or eat something or listen to the wonderful musicians...its a great event and you will leave feeling the spirit of the holidays once again! i am in booth 38.

this weekend's haul

did a little thrifting this weekend at the huge barn: the mister was no where around! i found two compotes, an urn and a mccoy planter, all  for $22: sweet! these will look great in the summer version of kensington!

i'm thrifty!

i went to the thrift store to see what i could see...i actually did have a purpose: i wanted some small and tiny cast iron pans for making individual servings of whatever. i only found two of them, but -check it out- i found lots of everything else! the vintage book section was amazing, and their was lots of jewelry i didnt have time to look through...i will be returning soon without the mister!

downtown holiday market

this is my last day at the downtown holiday market, but I wanted to highlight some of my awesome neighbors ... javid of kashmir imports has the most exquisite hand embroidered textiles. I bought one of his jackets for my mom's birthday. if you can't make it to the downtown holiday market today, check out his website @ www. kashmirimports.com.
