I am pleased to announce the launch of my new website for my web & graphic design services Small Tree Studio!

Renegade San Francisco This Weekend!

I'm sad to say that I chose not to apply to this event this year but I'm very excited to be attending as a patron! I hope you check it out too. You can get all of the details here.

Thomas Bunzi Palmer 1996 - 2008

We are extremely heartbroken by the sudden loss of our beautiful cat Thomas on April 30, 2008. He had been diagnosed with a liver problem but was still in great shape when he passed away after a diagnostic procedure at the vet's office. He was an amazing cat - gentle, loving, and sweet and we will miss him greatly. He often sat as in the photo above with his paws crossed like the relaxed easy-going kitty that he was. We'll miss you, Bunz..

Relish at Home

Please do check out this art opening. Relish is one of my favorite shops in the Bay area and Kelly the owner has a superb eye for design. See you there!

Bazaar Bizarre SF

Thanks to everyone who came out to Bazaar Bizarre this past Saturday. We had a great time meeting and chatting with you. The event was a big success and I want to thank the organizers for doing an incredible job of promoting the show. The location at the SF County Fair Building is a wonderful choice for shows and I hope to see more there in the future. The very cool SF Botanical Garden Plant Sale also takes place there every year.

This was my last show of the season but there's still time to order online. If you saw something at the shows and you don't see it on the website please email me and I'll let you know if it's still available. The last day to order to guarantee delivery by the 25th is December 19th. Happy Holidays!

Felt Club XL Holiday Event

Thank you to my customers and to those of you who came to the Felt Club event! It was great meeting you all and I appreciated hearing all of your kind feedback on my work. I hope you all enjoy your Mumblepeg goods for years to come!

I will be adding all of the new items to my website as soon as possible but if you are interested in anything before then please email me and let me know.

The event was amazingly busy and chock full of cool crafts and once again I wish that I could have been an attendee as well as a vendor. I did score some beautiful Saelee Oh things(it was great meeting this talented woman as well) and a cute Boy Girl Party mirror as I ran around during the last half hour. I also had the pleasure of meeting and being neighbors with Adjowah from the Weekend Store in Oakland - she makes amazing vintage typewriter key jewelry! I'd also like to thank Jenny and all the volunteers from Felt Club for the amazing job they did of promoting the event - I've never seen so many people at a craft show! And lastly, the dj was terrific - New Order, Joy Division, Stereolab...who could ask for more?

My next event will be Bazaar Bizarre on December 15 at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. There will be over 90 vendors at this one so please do come out and find some unique holiday gifts for those on your list!

Pink

Got heart?

Subconsciously following along with Superhero's photo assignments. This one was about photographing a heart that appears on your path. I took this photo yesterday at an ice cream shop in Livermore. Looked at it today and discovered the heart. Love the pink and white striped booths!

Spiral Aloe

Pink & Red

Beautiful pink buttons from my friend Theresa and yummy treats from the Miette Confiserie in Hayes Valley. Pink grapefruit mentos, watermelon slices, peach bonbons, watermelon zots, strawberry krema regalad and strawberry carambars.

Blue & Purple

Box of negatives found this morning at an estate sale. Some maroon wool beyond that. My Golden Gate Park theme continues. I don't think I mentioned it but my "yellow" photo was taken at the carousel there as well.
