The Anne Bonny

My trip to Seattle last December brought us to this really sweet shop owned by our friend Spencer. For those of you who aren't up on the pirate history, Anne Bonny was a female pirate who sailed with Calico Jack Rackam in the Carribean. The thought of a female pirate brews up quite a lot of amazing imagery in my head; however if you were to glance at her booty (not the one YOU think) it may just look like the inside of The Anne Bonny Believe me, I felt completely at home here, and honestly wanted to buy everything in my sight. The Anne Bonny's blog is updated often brandishing photos of people, performances, and items in the shop you can purchase; quite a neeto curiosity shop for the lover of antiques, interior design, and art. I only wish that I could come in once a week to shop. Right off the freeway it's 1355 East Olive Way, Seattle. The next time I come up tot he Pacific Northwest I will be dropping in to check it out again.

One thing after another

Southern Minnesota has come and left. I came back with a very mediocre tattoo, some good times, and an extra suitcase full of goods. I picked up Allison a glass insulator, some ceramic goodies for my crafter friends, and endless vintage aprons.
This week marks the "handmade" begining of my upcoming etsy sales. I have some ideas, I just need to get started on them. Flocked (yes fuzzy) refinished vintage picture frames. I'm also thinking about actually assembling small-scale shrines again.
The illustration project is coming along slowly. French bulldogs are so darn cute! This will be a popular book!
Tattooing has been steady, I'm happy with what I've accomplished thus far.
I've become very interested in this rug, and the entire process of felting. I've only attempted to felt a couple of wool sweaters once, and was pretty disappointed by the washing machine method.
