Argh!

:: by colormekatie

My internet has been on the fritz all morning and I haven't been able to get the post I planned for today done yet (one of those long inspiration A-Z posts) and now I have appointments I need to head to. Bummer! So, I'll have much inspiration here for you tomorrow morning instead, bright and early (hint: next letter up is C, and C is for COLOR!)

And speaking of sharing inspiration, I'm participating in the Blog it Foward Mash-up organized by SFgirlbybay- are you?? It starts this Wednesday and seems like it'll be a great way to discover some new blogs! I hope you'll read along with us! 

Happy (started off pretty crappy but I guess it's getting better) Monday! :)

Rings for Haiti Auction & Happy Weekend!

Just popping in on this lovely Saturday to let you know about this great Rings for Haiti auction that is going on, organized by Thomasin at Metal Riot. She's gathered up a wealth of amazing jewelry artists to create rings for an auction in which 100% of proceeds will go to the Global Giving Relief Fund for Haiti. It's happening over on ebay right now & new rings will be added each day!

Other than that, I just wanted to wish you all a happy weekend! I'm taking my best friend to see one of my faaavorite musicians tonight at the Doug Fir. I can't wait! Will I be seeing any Portland readers there? She puts on an amazing show, you should come!

What are some of your plans for the weekend?

Vintage Fantastic Friday: Bleubird Vintage

One of my favorite bloggers and vintage shop owners, James of Bleubird Vintage, just re-opened her web shop and me oh my, it looks mighty fine...

Of course you know you can trust her to carry all her amazing finds for the ze ladies, but with this recent revamp, she's added great vintage clothing for men and for "little birds" too! I don't usually feature kid's stuff on here, but her children's collection is way too adorable not to.

Gosh, I wish those dresses were in big people sizes! Find lots more goodies to oogle at over in the better than ever Bleubird shop!

Miss Modish is going Red & Pink

Just a note to let you know I just added a couple new Valentastic blouses to the Miss Modish shop. Plus there's a few oldies but goodies that would be perfect for the occasion! Hop on over to take a peek.

And so you know, I'm donating $5 of every order to Partners in Health, a great organization supplying medical aid to Haiti, all the way thru Valentine's Day.
