Tree House Hotel

I have been trying to find a tree house hotel of sorts in either Northern California or Southern Oregon to stay at this September.  It's apparently the new, eco-friendly, way to sleep.  Not sure if it's reallllly eco-friendly since other trees were savaged to make the tree house.  Either way, I thought it would be a neat way to spend a night.

As I was searching around, I came across "Motel Trees" located in Klamath, California.  I was excited until I scrolled down their web page and discovered what "Motel Trees" actually looked like.  How deceiving and a BIG let down.

Now, this is a place that I would like to stay!

Owl Mania

It may be an understatement that I like owls.  I spotted 14 "owls" in my apartment the other day.  But, hey, whooooo's counting?

 

1.  Brass Trinkets

2.  Homemade Gem Magnet 

3.  Metal Dish

4.  Abstract Print

5.  Cast Iron Trivet

6.  Framed Illustration

 

1.  Vintage Napkin Holder

2.  1970's Cookie Jar

3.  Lavishy Wallet - www.lavishy.com 

4.  Metal Dish

5.  Vintage Salt and Pepper Shakers

I could have also added some 1970's coffee mugs to the list but apparently they got "lost" in the shuffle earlier this year when I moved to San Fran.  Sad day.

Lately I been plunking my time and energy into making jewelry.  The hope is that if I send enough local boutiques photos of my pieces, they'll want to sell them for me, and then I can eat dinner that is a step up from peanut butter sandwiches.

Bienvenue

Plum Sugar Designs is going to be a grab bag blog.  Posts will include anything from recent thrift store finds to pictures of the bum sleeping outside my house to farmer's market purchases to constructed one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.

Blog posts will be a surprise to us both because many factors will go into determining what that day's post will be about.  Possible factors may include the weather, how much caffeine I've consumed, or what Pandora station is playing on my computer.

Either way, stop by and see what is in store that day at Plum Sugar Designs.
