A Sunny Day at the Antique Market


After getting rained out last month, it was so nice to spend a sunny day walking around the antique market down the street. I love living in the city! This was the day for seeing lots of awesome type, this thrills the graphic designer in me to no end.


When I was 18 and a student at Santa Rosa Junior College in California, I was the campus poster person for the student activities office. I designed posters for campus activities on an old letterpress machine using type just like this. I wish I could go back and use that press now, what fun I would have.


This is the type I couldn't live without.


I think these one foot tall letters spelling CUTE should be mounted on the wall over the bathroom mirror, for those days when one needs a little reminder :-)


My dog, Abby, grazing with the elephants.


Put a bird on it!


Beautiful glass!


I love this vintage store sewing machine parts bin.


It even had some needles still in it.




Indigo (nina) and I had a great day!
