bits and bobbins

hi all!

my little fam and i are moving from chicago to CT today!

i’m gonna take a little hiatus until things are a bit less crazy-town in my world…not sure how long.

could be a couple days, but could be a couple weeks. lots to unpack and sort. i haven’t seen my stuff in six months (it’s been in storage in NYC since last october)!

as a result, there will be no w_r’s of the week this week. apologies!

thanks for understanding!

okay, this is crazy old news, but…

about six gazillion years ago (ok, really, like three years ago, back in ‘07), when i was living out in san francisco, i did an interview for a documentary on thrift town, a bay-area thrift store chain.

anyway, i was waxing nostalgic about thrift town today with pete (oh how i miss that place!!! AHHHH!!!), and decided to google around to see if anything ever came of the doc. and voila! i turned up the documentary in toto, on the ever amazing youtube! yay! it’s embedded above.

the documentary is called thrift town: get used. it’s only about 10 minutes long (so, really, a short). i make a small appearance at the beginning of the film, and then at about 6:27 i get a longer bit…where they show me shopping around the store (checkin’ out the clothes, shoes, and patterns, haha!) and i get a few seconds of face time just after that where i dork out and say some nice stuff about thrift town and thrifting in general.

[btw: the acid wash jumper dress and pink earrings i'm wearing in the documentary are thrift town finds. you can get a better look at the acid wash jumper here if ye are so inclined...]

every so often i like to learn more about who’s reading my blog…so i ask you:

who are you?
tell me about yourself!
what you’re into, what’s your background, anything you’d like to say about yourself.
come out of the woodwork, lurkers! pretty please?
i love hearing from you and about you.
i think you’re pretty amazing!

also:

tell me what kinds of posts you like best here…what you’d like to see more of, going forward. introspective writing? interesting art? interesting fashion pieces/makers? photos? lists of obsessions? book peeks? me showing off stuff i made? cool fashion related or craft links? something else? if so, what?

why? b/c i’m planning some changes to this blog over time, but i’m interested in what you have to say and what you like, and why you come (which i know was addressed in a previous post)…it means a lot to me that you come at all.

danke!
& happy weekend!!
