Super Sale…

One of my favorite artists, Kate Durkin, is moving from San Francisco to New York this summer. Good news is: New York is amazing. Bad news is: Selfishly, I won’t be able to visit her at local art/craft shows in the city.

In honor of her move, Kate is having a super blow out artwork sale. All of her original paintings, prints and crafts are up for grabs! You can purchase anything here until April 25, at which point she will be selling remaining items during open studios weekend at her studio in the Mission in San Francisco. All prices include shipping (if you live in the Bay Area, contact Kate to arrange pick-up and she’ll remove the shipping cost).

I haven’t forgotten about you,  lovelies. I am not feeling 100% this morning and am going to skip posting for now. I’ll be back later today or first thing tomorrow morning. For sure. Hope you had a great weekend. Enjoy your Monday!

Friday Favorites.

The weather in San Francisco this week has been amazing. I’m talking about not having to wear multiple layers of clothing. Sunshine. T-shirt weather. Something a Hawaii gal can appreciate. I know it’s coming to an end over the weekend, so I tried to take full advantage of it while it lasted. I’m wishing all of you a wonderful, warm, sunny weekend (or at least hopes of one). Happy, happy Friday!

Seven by Sarah Seven.

Sometimes I have dreams of being one of those girls. You know the ones. The really cute girls that have a classic feminine style. They wear dresses. They wear all the right accessories. They wear heels. Maybe that’s you (Ii so, then I adore you). Can you tell by what I’m saying that I’m not one of them? I do, however, admire these girls and think to myself, “one day I, too, will wear a dress with cute shoes, an actual purse, earrings and a necklace.” But for now, I’ll sit back and enjoy lovelies like these by Sarah Seven
