So, Saturday morning, we drug Nancy (our friend visiting from Austin) to the annual San Francisco Arts & Crafts Fair. This was something I've been looking forward to for months, practically since last year's show.
I saw a Limbert Lamp Table #238, which is the companion piece to the #240 that I'm currently working on.
We also saw a Stickley Sideboard #818, which is the three drawer version of the #802 that I've already done my research on in anticipation of building it to go with the dining room set I'll be working on soon.
We bought a MacKintosh rose fridge magnet, but couldn't justify the expense of the embroidery kits we wanted, so I'm going to make them from Joanna's fabric. Kim bought a Montana del Oro tile, which is really nice (and it's a great place to hike).
On the way out, we dumped $10 into raffle tickets for a $100+ tile of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is pretty cool. Sunday, while on lunch at West Marine, I received a call notifying us that we won. I've never won anything. The downside is that we're rapidly running out of wall space.

WOW, look at all the good luck I brought you with my visit! Warmer weather, your license in the mail, and the winning ticket! Dude, it was fun, I enjoyed every minute I was there. You didn't have to "drag" me anywhere. You guys are great!
On a follow up note, Kim picked up the tile the other day while in the City visiting with Brett & Sally (more friends from Austin). When she got over to the studio, she found that our signed tile is 1/1, made specially for us. How cool is that. The challenge will be to frame it, but leave the back showing. I've also got the signed Yamamoto print to frame, the Montana del Oro tile, and the SF print. I need to go buy more wood...
