Super T

Hey Friends!  I know a lot of you drop by this space every once and awhile just because of a special bulldog named T.  Well last week was pretty stressful as our little buddy was in the hospital with ivs and the whole she-bang. 


Poor T spent four hours in the very early morning throwing up back to back to back. My poor little guy was just laying there between convulsions and looking at me to fix him and I had no idea how.  I waited until his vet opened and the tech told me to get him in the car and get him there asap.  Poor T wouldn't even walk I carried him outside, he stood up to go to the bathroom and laid back down, picked him up and set him in the car and off to the vest we went.


Lots of tests were run, ivs were run and a night in the hospital was had.  Turns out all of his organs are functioning properly and he didn't eat a foreign object.  The vet concluded that he ate something on our walk that night that was not good for him and it was just his system trying to get rid of it.


Just wanted to update those of you that have checked in on him via facebook, instagram and email.  T is offering a special coupon code until May 1st.  Use Coupon Code SUPERT at check out to get 20% off of your purchase. T and I would both appreciate any vintage purchase you make before May 1st.

Lately

Photography is one of my passions, I minored in it in college and upon moving to Chicago took a bunch more classes at Northwestern.  I have so much more to learn and so much practice to do but lately I've been having fun taking my camera out and shooting a few bands, a good friends new baby and playing with light.  Here's a few of the photos I've been working on and digging.

Craziness

Let's take a minute here to reflect on how crazy the internet is.  I mean how crazy awesome the internet is.  Ya ya it can be scary too but whatevs we are talking about it's radness right now.

This girl here, I met her on the internet and then I flew 2,000 miles to meet in person and now she is one of my best friends.

 If you were to ask me exactly how I found her blog hundreds of moons ago I couldn't even begin to tell you.  If you asked me what made me type the worlds longest email to her and divulge a ton of personal information because of a post she had written, I would have to say destiny whispered for me to do it.  We met virtually at rock bottom in our personal lives, both of us living a parallel life 2,000 miles apart when we were feeling like we were the only ones going through what we were going through. That was four years ago.  Since then we meet up every year and talk at least once a week if not daily. The moral of the story is destiny is a real thing, the internet is pretty rad and I can't imagine my life without this girl in it.

Any of you have any good internet stories?

Silhouette

This body of mine is less like a temple and more like a biography written by life. It carries lessons learned, experiences, dreams, a broken and re-mended heart, false hopes and cobwebs in it's chapters. All neatly mapped out and bound in between the veins and tendons. A whole evolving history tucked in the spaces between the ribs and collarbone.

Life Lately According To My iPhone

Oh life, wouldn't it be nice if there were 25 or 26 hours in a day?  But then if we had that, it would leave us wanting still more wouldn't it.  I do not have anything exciting to say so I'm just going to share some photos from my phone because I feel like I haven't updated this space in awhile and maybe just maybe some people look at it from time to time. 

I have decided to take the month of March off from "popping up" to focus on spending time with family and friends, to nurture the relationships that I sometimes put business in front of and to put myself out there to build on new ones.  My bestie from Portland was in town for a few days so most of these are from our many food and neighborhood explorations.  I've also been playing rock photographer to a band lately and T and I have been trying to enjoy the outdoors and the few days of spring thaw we've had.

Cabin Fever Vendor Profile Featuring: The Collectors Agency & Coffee Planet

Can't believe that Cabin Fever is happening tomorrow! Today's vendor profile is a twofer, just because when ever I think of Paul the owner of The Collectors Agency I automatically think coffee.  Wait until you meet him at Cabin Fever chances are he'll have a cup of joe in his hand.

The Collector's Agency is definitely going to bring the masculinity to Cabin Fever, as you will find a lot of metal objects, cameras and lots of treasures in between. Paul is one of the greatest guys and his knowledge of the rusty object is amazing.  Paul and I have been teaming up at shows lately and he has been my partner in crime at bringing you all Cabin Fever.  Here's a sampling of some of the goods he will have.

 

 

The Collector's Agency can be found on the Interwebs:

And our final vendor profile is the local coffee shop Coffee Planet.  Which will be caffeinating us all on Saturday with coffee and tea pour overs.

 

" The city coffee shop is now alive in the Chicago suburbs. Started by a family passionate about coffee, Coffee Planet  entertains the coffee connoisseur, supports the local artist, and brings friends and family together.

We are up bright and early to ensure only quality drinks are poured into your cup. We pull every shot of espresso. Our coffee beans were roasted in downtown Chicago, brewed to freshness. We perfect every drink, so it may not be done in a few short seconds. When you take your first sip, however, it will be well worth the wait".  

Coffee Planet can be found at  1450 Golf Rd. in Rolling Meadows. As well as on the interwebs:

Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Cabin Fever Vendor Profile Featuring: Vintage Meet Modern

Today's vendor profile features Vintage Meet Modern, your one stop shop for all things vintage sparkly jewelry.  The first time I meet Veronica the awesome owner of Vintage Meet Modern, she came up to me at a show and said how much she loved my instagram feed or something like that.  I was completely caught off guard but now getting to know her she is one of the sweetest girls with the most amazing knowledge of all things sparkly, and an amazing team player in this vintage seller world. 

Veronica carries only quality timeless inventory and if you ask her a question about a certain piece she will give you more then enough information so that you leave with an educated answer for when you get the inevitable question of "Who are you wearing and where did you get that" at your next soirée.

 

If you are in need for something sparkly for a spring wedding or cocktail party coming up you are going to want to make sure you stop out on Saturday and say Hello to Vintage Meet Modern.
