Guess who I saw last night here in San Francisco?!?!

HELL YES!!! (mind you, this isn’t a clip from last night’s show)

I went alone because there was just one lonely ticket available. I had the most awesome time and am still on a high from it all. Anyone else get to see them? Or is anyone going to see them here in SF on Thursday?

By the way, if I wasn’t already in love with Bret and Jemaine and completely obsessed with Flight of the Conchords…Well, let’s just say there is now a whole new level of obsession!

ps…Yes, I AM listening to FOTC music as I type this post!

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been working hard to update and “fix” the Blog Rollin’ and Indie Shops and Sites pages. There were some glitches earlier and so we’re now good to go. I am still continuing to add some links to the Indie Shops page since it takes a little bit longer. If you should be there because you’ve advertised with me or have been featured in the past, shoot me an email. It may just be that I’m adding it back in again (I surely don’t want to leave you out).

By the way…if you have any Sales, Specials or Coupon codes you’d like to offer Mixed Plate readers just let me know. If you are a handmade shop, I would like to help support you and do my best to send customers your way!

ps - If you are listed on the Indie Shops and Sites page and would like to change the category you are listed in, let me know. Also, if you have a better, more current description of your shop (preferably on the shorter side), send me an email as well.

Mahalo!

Yes, it’s been a strange past few months.  I’ve been feeling under the weather and that is why there’s been a delay in posts.  I promise to share some fun goodies with you soon.  Happy April and I hope you’re all well!

Aloha!

It’s time for BUST Magazine’s first ever Spring Fling Craftacular!  It’ll be taking place in Brooklyn on Sunday, April 27, 2008 at The Warsaw.  After 3 years of enormously successful Holiday Craftaculers, BUST is ready to start the Springtime craft fair and ’90s themed dance.  There will be over 50 vendors, DJs, dancing, and drinks.

BUST will be handpicking the most unique and talented crafters from across the country to sell their wares from 11am until 9pm at the Warsaw in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  While you shop, listen as the DJs spin your favorite jams from the ’90s and get your dance on.

If you’re interested in participating as a vendor, applications are available now.  There are no exceptions as to who can apply, and BUST will consider everything: hip handmades, accessories, housewares, vamped up vintage clothing, knitwear, silk-screened items, cosmetics, paper goods, handbags, cards, and whatever else you craft!

Visit their site for more info today.  Oh, I wish I could be there…

Hey Mixed Platers! I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year.  I hope that you all had a safe and exciting holiday season. I was away for a week or so since I went back home to Hawaii to visit my family and to attend the beautiful wedding of my brother-in-law.  He and his bride were absolutely lovely!

I hope that you are looking forward to this new year as much as I am.  I have some fun things planned for Mixed Plate and, fingers crossed, they’ll all get done this time around.  Thank you for your support with my travels and moving.  I appreciate your patience and love that you’ve stuck with me.  I am truly fortunate to have you as my cyber buddies!

Aloha and welcome 2008…

I have noticed wall stickers a lot recently. The decals over at Vinyl Wall Art, created by Holly Jones, come in an assortment of charming designs. Rid yourself of the stress of decorating your space by trying out everything from owls and trees to robots and flowers. Instantly transform the look of your room, kitchen, office or even car window with Vinyl Wall Art’s easily applied decals. If you’re not happy with the result, no problem. The images can be removed without damaging the paint on your walls so that you can rearrange things until you get it just right. Try mixing and matching some of these for even more enjoyment (try a tree and put some birds and owls around it). Check it out…

Have you noticed Mixed Plate’s makeover?  Yesterday the switch was made and I do hope that you like it.  Mixed Plate is a year old and it seemed about time for an upgrade.  Enjoy!

Mixed Plate is going through a change and will soon have a new look.  This week if you notice that things look a little different, it may not be your computer that is wonky and it may just be because of the change.  I do hope that you will like it!  Stay tuned…

I am an animal lovin’ gal. So, it’s no surprise that I should like things that have animal patterns or designs on them. For this first installment of animal related finds I’ve decided to go with deer. Boy, was it hard to narrow down to just a few choices. Enjoy!

So I always see so many wonderful things on the net.  There are so many talented independent artists and designers and I try my very best to feature as many as I have time for.  If I could do something for everyone, I surely would.  So, in an effort to show my support as well as have a little fun, I’ve decided to do Friday Favorites.  I’ll select some items that I think you may like.

Get ready…
