year of the dragon

Happy New Year! After returning from a lovely, long winter vacation, my computer monitor decided to poop out on me, so I couldn't update until I purchased a new one. I recently got an iPhone 4S, so I was able to survive on that for a while, though it's not the best for traditional blogging. It is, however, wonderful for photo-taking. I've especially been loving Instagram (I know, I'm kind of late to the party on this). Here are a couple of Instagram photos, one taken over the holidays and one from today:

Top: Sunset at Grand Canyon National Park. Pre-New Year road trip.

Bottom: Fun vintage fabric that I got at Salvation Army today. 50 cents!

holiday shopping

The Poketo Annual Holiday Sale and Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Sale are going on this weekend in Downtown LA. I'm looking forward to scoring some awesome gifts for my friends and family. Both events are free admission with lots of free goodies for shoppers, so come on down if you're in the area!

delays

Hi there! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just wanted to check in and let you know why the Etsy shop hasn't been updated this month. I've been spending the majority of my time helping my dad search for a new home out-of-state. This past week was actually the first time in the last month that I've spent more than 5 straight days in California, but I've been so busy with daily obligations that I haven't had enough time to work on the shop. I'll also be going out of state again this weekend to visit my grandmother in Seattle.

I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm sure you guys understand. Life can be unpredictable sometimes. I'll have a shop update for you as soon as I can. Take care!

shop sale!

I'm finally moved into my new home, though there's still so much to be done before I can really get settled in. The cable was just installed on Tuesday. Half of my things are still in boxes. Life is a little bit hectic right now, but I'm doing my best to get organized so that I can start working on an Etsy update. I'm hoping to have a lot of new items up by the end of the month. Until then, everything that's currently in the shop is 25% off.

moving on

Hello there. I'm currently in the process of finding a new home and moving out of my current one, so there won't be any blog or Etsy shop updates for the next couple of weeks. For anyone who's gone through the moving process before, I'm sure you know how time-consuming (and sometimes stressful) it can be. But! I'll be back before you know it. In the meantime, please enjoy this adorable puppy. (photo via tumblr)

shop update

A few new items have just been added to Ninja Vintage. Someone please buy the heart skirt before I decide to keep it for myself. Seriously. It's awesome. I still have a couple more things to put up in the shop this week, so keep checking back!
