Hello, friends!

You know that saying, “when it rains, it pours”?  That’s been pretty consistent both literally and figuratively these last two weeks.  It’s been so busy, I can’t even tell you what I had for dinner last night.  Oh, that’s right, I forgot to eat. 

But I did make time to venture to Brooklyn Park between appointments in Moundsview and Coon Rapids (Since when am I big in the ‘burbs?), to my favorite fabric warehouse, S.R.Harris!  For those of you who like to sew, you have to get out there.  1 million bolts of fabric all stacked in random order, 30 feet into the air.  It’s dust allergy city, so bring a hankie.  But you’ll find everything from Maharam modern patterns to fake fur to lycra spandex. 

My parents are coming to town next weekend for the first time in four years.  My mom is sweet, but very particular, especially when it comes to undone projects.  If you’ve seen my living room, it’s one enormous undone project.  I’m hoping I can fix that by making new pillows and recovering some chairs. There’s nothing like the scrutiny of an out-of-town Mom to get you in motion. 

I’ll be finishing up a “designed to sell” project this Saturday (I should’ve taken pictures!).
I’ll be in Longfellow on Sunday.  Check out this newly listed charmer!

3804 E. 36^th Street, Longfellow neighborhood
OPEN SUNDAY   6/10        1-3 p.m.

Come and see this beautiful Craftsman in the Longfellow neighborhood, smack in-between Minneapolis and St. Paul.  Location is ideal, just a block from Longfellow Park and near the 38^th St/ 42^nd Ave Business District (Riverview Theater!).  Six short blocks to the River means access to bike trails and people-watching year-round.  Nearby 38^th Street LRT gives you quick access to Downtown Mpls or the airport.

The house speaks for itself.  Much larger than it looks from outside, this home has every convenience you’re looking for, but still maintains its 1925 charm.  You’ve got to see it!
