Not Yellow

I have to digress for a moment to gush about this gorgeous juicer. I've been looking for the perfect vintage juicer for years, and I've never been able to find anything turquoise, and then here it is! The Jiffy Juicer, made by Glading McBean (best known for its Franciscan ware) in 1926. I'd just like to offer up a hint to anybody who might be thinking six months in advance to my birthday... AHEM...

In the Wild

Here are some beautiful yellow and gray flowers from my neighborhood. Wouldn't the Yarrow (second pic) make an amazing textile?


Yellow Phone


This yellow phone is one of my proudest accomplishments: I rewired it myself so that we could use it in our shop. I wish I had taken notes, though; I have another one (red) in my house that I haven't been able to get working, but that is partly because one of its wires slipped inside the plastic casing and that's really hard to open...

Gray Week


For the last year the combination of yellow and gray has been everywhere, so what could be a more appropriate follow-up to Yellow Week than Gray Week? The week after next, my friend Richard will be guest blogging all about the color gray, so stay tuned!

*PS: This lovely gray teapot is up for auction here on Ebay.
