Last year I “helped” my craxy mother clear out one of her storage spaces. I knew she was nuts, I didn’t realize she’s a hoarder. It made me take a look at how much crap I keep. Now granted, it’s all good, high quality crap, but how much stuff does anyone need? To that end, I have been getting rid of my own storage – which I was only forced to take when aforementioned craxy parent shipped my entire childhood to me several years ago. In January I went down from a 10′x10′ space to a 5′x10x space, and yesterday I consolidated into a 5′x5′. Hooray! I’d love to get rid of all of it, but there’s some stuff I just can’t part with and my apartment is only so big.
On to the interesting – I hope – part. To get rid of all this (good) crap, I am doing a bunch of stuff. First, and most immanently, my girl Sarah and I are having a Big Assed Yard Sale this weekend! That’s right, if you’re in LA come by 4342 Finley Ave (LA 90027) Saturday or Sunday (hell come both and keep us company), from 9-5 and parse our stuff. There’s some furniture, books, electronics, fabric, clothes, I don’t know what all, it’s a yard sale, there will be a bunch of stuff.
Secondly, the lovely Tricia Warden and I have opened a vintage store on Etsy, Sparkle Light and Sparkle Dark, and you can like us on the Facebooks! So far there’s just a few baby things in the shop – and holy cow is there some great kid’s stuff to come – but I know T plans on posting some vintage cookbooks later this week, I’ve got some cocktail stuff going up today or tomorrow… Check it out and check back, I think we’ll have a fantastic rotating stock of cool stuff.
Finally I’ll be opening a store on Amazon to deal with the antique children’s books (was given boxes of beautiful books from the turn of the last century through the 30′s and while I’m keeping my favorites…).
I’ll post over here to give a heads up when there’s new goods in the stores, as we make things available. I hope you’ll check it all out.
The etsy store is stocked with all the pillows now, and i’m busily stitching Hip Hop Braille Cards, which I will put in the shop by the end of the weekend. They make me giggle!
This one says, “I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. – Humpty.”
Continuing the roll out of the line, here’s my dirty pillows, for this go around:
And so, the new line begins! Today, let’s have a look at the ransom notes!
Hand stitched ransom note pillows! Get ‘em while they’re hot!
I been piping it up over here, yo! There’s mad sewing going on up in here, ya’ll. For true. And you know what that means, new dirty merch in the store!! Here’s some tasty-tastes, but go see ‘em all. Heck, if you buy one I’ll love you long time, Joe.
It’s been a busy, dirty, stitchy, glowy week. Stuff’s in the shop.
and when you turn out the lights…
I’ve joined an Etsy Team!! Other like minded lovelies making feathery frothy confections. While I’m not in the burlesque business, I thought it fit my world.
Yea! Playmates. Go check out the work of the other team mates, there’s some rocking stuff!

Thanks are due to the inimitable Helen Killer, aka April Winchell, whose birthday it just happens to be. April featured my pillows in the super hilarious, photo shopped picture of Martha, on New Year’s Eve, garnering me over 18 thousand views, at last look. Wow!!
You can believe she’s getting a giftie from me. I’ll post pics once she’s received it.
