what that really means...



okay, so that last post was just a teaser. basically, jen and i are going to 'upcycle' furniture by thrifting for pieces that seem to have potential, and then fixing them up/adding our own twist to things. we've been doing this here and there for a while now, and now we're running out of room for things - so we thought we'd take it to the next step. i'll be posting our latest projects on the blog, as well as on our etsy store (coming soon), possibly eBay, and possibly at craft fair/swap meet sort of events around town. we are also considering offering a sort of come-to service where you guys can bring your old furniture that you never got around to painting, or that you don't have the supplies for, and we can just fancy up the stuff you already have lying around.

also! ara is thinking of adding another sensorial dimension by offering up delicious treats such as cakes, muffins, cookies, whatever you want (however you want i.e. vegan). this branch of the blog will probably stay local for the most part to keep things simple.

it doesn't get much better than cute food, cute chairs, and delicious sugars in your mouth! so that's the direction we're going to take. i'm going to add our latest stuff shortly and get everything all caught up.

!!?



so here at Pony Island, jen and i were basking under the glory of Prince and The Favorite Cat (on your right), and had a revelation (notice the floating orbs):


old chairs + us = !!
wisk + ara = !!

happiness + $
