Something's Hiding In Here

our new summer project...

his & hers vintage raleigh bicycles (mid / late 1960's). here's the plan: take them apart, paint them, put them back together, tune them up, add stuff (brooks leather saddles, leather grips, vintage pedal powered headlights, metal / wicker baskets and the perfect bells). see more "before" photos here.

the best vacation ever!

you might remember this post about how much we were looking forward to our vacation at lost river modern. we just got back from our week in the woods of west virginia and it was so worth the wait.

we spent most of the week being inspired by the prefab modern home. after reading this blog about how chris & sarah created such an amazing place, we were really able to appreciate all the details. 

we spent our days cooking, reading, napping on the porch, looking for deer, exploring the woods and taking photos, lots of photos (click here to visit our flickr album).

dear tim: happy father's day. love, shauna.

10 years

when we were married 10 years ago, we never could have imagined our lives as they are right now. that's the fun part - not knowing! today, we found ourselves mostly curious about the next ten. we're pretty lucky to have each other as we find out what's next. 

RCF

we had such a great weekend at mccarren park! the weather was amazing, and we're happy to report that our third renegade was by far our favorite! thanks to sue, danny & kate, who made it such a great event. imagine 300 crafty kids hanging out in a park for two days - it's like a weird summer camp, and now we're a little sad that it's over. if you live in los angeles, san francisco, or chicago the renegade craft fair is on it's way to you, don't miss it!

no sleep till brooklyn

we're here and we're ready to set up shop! we can't wait to see everyone and we're excited to be next to sue & nate (again). see you there!

p.s. we were asked to make a diy "mustache on a stick" for this year's renegade brooklyn booklet. if you can't make it to the show... we posted one just for you! click here. have fun.

lucky no.8

it's pretty crazy that our booth assignment for art star & renegade is #8 at both shows. stephen thinks the odds are approx 1 in 300 for this to happen (not sure if he's really a numbers man though). either way - our new lucky number has to be 8, right?

ace hotel

i've been stalking the ace hotel website for months... waiting for them to open in nyc. finally, it happened and just in time for renegade! i've stayed at the ace in seattle and have been looking for an opportunity to take stephen to one. it did not disappoint. we started our day with some snapshots in the vintage photo booth and ended our day with drinks in the lodge style bar. our military surplus inspired room was "just right" and stephen loved that we had a full smeg refrigerator in our room.
