Airplane Mode, Take 2

Packed & ready. It all fits! But it's SUPER HEAVY! Ugh, so many stairs in NYC... well, at least I'll have sweet biceps when I'm done with NYC!

Amidst the preparation and such, I churned out a new card:

now on etsy :)

Oh I'm beyond anxious. I've never flown a plane with all my craft fair stuff before. So interesting. Here's to something new! & to New York! I already have my heart set on SHAKE SHACK as my first meal. Just keeping with tradition :)

Airplane Mode

I will elaborate I have free moment (with pictures too!), but I am a tad bit NERVOUS about flying with my crafts. I don't anticipate damage in transit or my luggage getting lost (though that is a possibility I didn't think of until now hehe). I'm just afraid I'm forgetting something and it won't be easy to drive back home to pick it up. I'll be miles & miles away in NYC! On a good note, everything fits in the luggage I picked up from Costco. I think it may be the lightest piece of luggage that I've ever lifted considering its size. WHOOP! :)

Okay, time for a cathartic bike ride. More later!

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!
