Treasure Island Flea

Victoria of Paper & Type and I did some serious adventuring Saturday. We dropped by Modern Mouse to replenish inventory (aka YES! P&T is now at Modern Mouse!) & headed to the first Treasure Island Flea!
It was to do research on whether or not this was something we wanted to do in the future.

VVVVVV letter press letters. Too perfect.

It looks like this is the pic Victo took but it's not :)

We both walked away with goodies from Cisco of Restore & Rework. Victo found an addition to her collection of etiquette books and I found a wire basket for my booth. It was hard to walk away--he curates his antique finds very very well. Look for him in fleas scattered throughout the Bay.

I loved the look of these giant letters scattered on the concrete.The view from the flea!

Oh, & most importantly... there was a free photobooth ;)

I think you shall see us there vending at some point this summer/fall!

Craft Night at Modern Mouse!

Unfortunately I didn't get to go but after reading the article & seeing the photos, I had to share. It seemed like a great time and I'm bummed I didn't attend. I stopped by Modern Mouse to deliver inventory the day before the event UGH! I know I had something else planned the night of craft night but now I can't remember so it must not have been that great. Dang it.

Eleen, the shop's owner, showed me the space pre-set up and it's really exciting to see it filled with people crafting in the photos. Yay! Looked like it was a great success :)

Read more about it here & make sure to visit Modern Mouse in Alameda if you're in the area! & don't be shy around the staff. They're the nicest people ever.

Le Petit Elefant now selling at Modern Mouse!

Hoorah! I'm slowly making my way up California :)

Visit the shop. It's incredibly sweet & all goods--home accessories, gifts, art, cards, clothes--are by local & independent artists. It's like the bay area version of flockshop in los angeles. Eleen, the shop's owner, has such great energy & it translates to how she curates the shop. My favorite part was the table fort. Yes. A table fort :)
