Moving right along...

Hello Taibi Timers,

No huge news here, just moving further along in the same direction. Slowly. But surely. As my mother says, "Poco a poco, se va lejos." This means, "Little by little, one goes far." I'm still clearing out my apartment, still listing more items in my Etsy Shop (TaibiTime.com), still planning my wedding - basically just trying to be a better version of myself and trying to get things done. And relax. It's important to remember to relax. RELAX!!

This past Sunday I actually took a rare weekend day off from retailing to go wedding venue hunting with my almost-husband Liam. We went to a park that we had high hopes for and it turned out that we weren't that into it...but I did get this one good picture out of the experience :

We also went to a place called Brooklyn Farmacy where - get this - they have vegan maple egg creams!!! It's got a lot of vintage charm, and here's a pic I took of a scale/horoscope-giver-machine that they have there :

On a side note, I am a total Instagram addict, and my name on it is Taibi_Time. Please follow me if you would like to! It would make me feel very special :)

Thanks for reading this. I hope that you are making the kind of progress in your life that you want to be making - whatever that is. Have a great week.
Sparkles,
Taibi

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, Taibi Timers!

Single or not, I hope that your day is full of love. There's a lot of love in the world, and a good deal of that is just for YOU. Don't forget to give some love too! 

In case you're wondering what I'm doing for Valentine's Day, me and my almost husband Liam are going to go to dinner at one of our favorite vegan restaurants. We may even squeeze in a movie before-hand, since our reservation isn't until a bit later. We've both been working so much lately and we're pretty pooped, so it will be a quiet evening.

I've been very busy working on my Etsy shop and I've just added - for the first time ever - vintage clothing and accessories! Have a look and see if there's something you can't live without ;)

Here they all are : http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaibiTime?section_id=11604135

Be well and do good,
Love Taibi

Happy February!

Hello Taibi Timers,

Writing to wish you a happy February. What's happening this month?

* New Etsy treasury for Valentine's Day, full of self love:

* I'm making my Valentines! I'll post one here on love day, from me to you.

* Me and the boy are back at work planning our wedding. Some wedding stuff might creep its way into this blog as this will be a DIY (and life!) adventure.

* I've just added more vintage housewares to my shop!

 * The great clear-out continues, the focus now being my studio as the rest of the house is *mostly* under control (photos of the progress to come.) I will soon have supplies that I am ready to part with, and I will arrange them into nifty inspiration kits to put in my shop.

Have a great week!

New Vintage Goodies in Store!

Good evening, internet. 

Today is Wednesday, but it is my "Monday." Not a bad day, as far as Mondays go. I took my darling peanut to school, had a good day at the shop assisting lovely people like yourself, and came home to my kittens and sweet man for soup/wine/trail mix and Etsy lisitngs! Below are the six "new" vintage items that I listed tonight and here's a link to them in the Taibi Time shop : http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaibiTime?section_id=11604135

Next I will be listing more vintage housewares and also vintage clothing. There's no clothing in my shop yet, but I have soooooooo much to put up for sale. You may not know this about me, but I LOVE clothes! 

Have a twinkly evening,

Taibi

Etsy Treasury : Love Day : Significant Other Optional

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTU1OTkzOTd8MjcyMzg5NDg2OA/love-day-significant-other-optional

Hello Taibi Timers,

It had been a while since I made a treasury on Etsy so I thought I would make one for Valentine's Day. You know I love the cutesy, lovey-dovey, but here's something a little different since I'm sure you've had your fill of all that considering we're most of the way through January.

Enjoy!

My 100th Post!

Wow, Blogger. We've been together for a while now. Look at all we've done! Since this is my 100th post, I'll try to make it extra good and (vegan) beefy. 

First order of business : Original art added to my shop! Please take a look and tell a friend. Thank you!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaibiTime?section_id=11882455

Below are three of the pieces I just listed:

Second order of business : Did you know that I have a clutter problem? Well, I do. And I always have. This is the year when it will all change, and you get to bear witness to the transformation. How do I know that my hoarding behavior will change this year? I am finally sick ENOUGH of the stress that is caused by living with too much stuff. Below is a display of contrast - some awful looking parts of my apartment, and some of the really nice looking parts of my apartment. I consider these all to be "before" photos. I had a really productive day of clearing out and I'm hoping to make my whole place look as nice as the nicer scenes below. More clearing out and "after" photos to come!

"New" Vintage Books in Store for You!

Hello Taibi Timers! I've just added a bunch of great vintage books to my shop. Below are some highlights:

Happy New Year!

Hello Taibi Timers,
 
I hope you had a healthy, happy, sparkly holiday season. I'm back in Brooklyn from a two week trip to New Zealand with my almost-husband Liam. We had a blast, and now it's time to get back to work. All of my art shows are down and I'm going to give my Etsy shop some much needed attention. I have big plans for 2013! Stay tuned.

Let's Catch Up

Hello Taibi Timers,

I've been posting on my facebook page (facebook.com/TaibiTime) pretty regularly but I want to make sure to give this blog some love (even though I'm pretty sure only my mom reads it.) Here's the latest:

My Foodie Folklore show at Betola Espresso Bar (http://www.betolanyc.com/) is coming down in a couple of days, my Holiday Art Sale is still going on at Two Lovers  Boutique (http://twoloversnyc.com/) and I now have a new show up at Roots Cafe in South Park Slope (http://cargocollective.com/rootscafebrooklyn.)
This is my second time showing at Roots and I'm very excited to be sharing a wall with the lovely and talented Melissa Diaz (http://www.melissadiazart.blogspot.com/.)

This body of work at Roots Cafe includes embellished double exposed prints like the ones that are at Two Lovers but I've ALSO made several pieces that are more heavily collaged. So, some crossover here but also some new and different work! I hope you will come check it out.
