Finally, the bed is done! It is modeled after this picture from Peacock Alley. Time for wall art!
I didn't want a typical bed-in-the-bag look, I wanted a formally dressed bed that was "ethnic," different, and pink. But if I were to purchase everything in the inspiration picture, it amounted to more than $1500. I wanted the same look for less--how did I do? :)
I blogged about my decorating process here in an entry titled, "A Good Sale is a Blessing from God"
I cleaned out a friend's fridge today. Instead of the cleaned out fridge, which was boring, here is the note I left for him to find.
I hope it will make him laugh.
Fun, kawaii music note food picks from Japantown in San Francisco. Love the "record" style package design.
For the third year, Coudal made custom Field Notes for XOXO attendees.
This year, we asked if they could screw them up, and did they ever. Overprinting, printer's marks, skewed grids, and a completely rewritten inside cover. Love these so much.
Did you know that Caryn and I are the awesome hostesses of a Valentine's Day handmade valentine swap? Because we totally are! You should sign up, and soon, since the deadline for sign-ups is Friday. Check it.
(Continuing my streak of nerdiness with the reference in this note... I think I might be officially in love with anybody who knows where it's from.)
As you can see, these apples are not perfect. They can't sell them, so they used them for making syrup ! But .... this fruit is sooo good !
Old Steamsyrupfactory of Borgloon, Cultural heritage
The old Steamsyrupfactory of Wijnants-Groenendaels in Borgloon is one of the last remainders of the industrial processing from fruit to syrup. Borgloon was at the end of 19th and the beginning of the 20th century the cradle of the syrup production.
Fruit of Haspengouw was processed to syrup, firstly still old-fashioned, later in an industrial manner. The factory from 1878 - 23 workers in 1959 - have equipped still entirely, stands on an old station complex and lies on walk distance from the center. Since 1988 no more syrup was flowing
The old factory, fallen into disrepair and rare witness of the syrup industry which ensured prosperity, touched in decline, was finalist in a monument s struggle in 2007 and became the winner of this television price and got the modernization premium of 500,000 euro.
A first realization: in April 2009 the “Loonse” square at the factory was inaugurated. At that moment also confessed that the restoration file for the site has been ended and the sum of 314, 344, - euro should be available soon. And small-scale, they make syrup again (2x apple, 1x pear and sugar beet) and … it is delicious !
