poor man's gard{en}

i am so ready for fall weather.

especially since

painting pieces for disregard{en}

means being outside.

i melt. literally.

here is a fun new addition

to our

poor man's gard{en}

mr. amazing (my husband, jonathan)

 built these crates

out of reclaimed, 100-year-old

baseboards. then he connected them

and made them a bookcase.

and surprised me with it.

i love him.

it makes our poor man's gard{en}: living room

all that more unique and special.

i hope you had a great tuesday

friends.

see you for lost&found

on thursday!

xoxo

poor man's gard{en}

so mr. amazing and i were

privileged to work with 

an amazing local 

interior designer

this past month.

she was redecorating

a young teenagers room

and saw disregard{en} at melrose trading post

and was super excited to have 

a disregard{en}ed touch...

so, here is what i got to design

and mr. amazing got to build

{he really is amazing, isn't he?!}

a perfect bookcase:

made from reclaimed wood found in

an old warehouse. at least 100 years old.

insane. can you imagine the stories behind

each board?!

we loved the bookcase so much, we decided to make

one for our own poor man's gard{en}.

photos to come next week!

and, she also wanted 

some of our chalkboard frames:

we had so much fun & loved connecting

with our new best friends.

hoping you had a fantabulous tuesday.

mine was productive and crazy.

poor man's gard{en}

it's been so long!!!

i hope you didn't miss me too much.

but i sure missed all of you.

thank you for the love & support

while i was away these past three weeks.

three. sheesh.

mr. amazing and i spent our first week

down in temecula with dear friends.

and helped get two of them married.

well, more like helped prepare 

their special day.

then, we drove up to portland.

17 hours. almost 18. yes. i know.

be jealous. except it was so special to drive

up with friends who we don't see very often.

and, of course, we ate and drank our way

through the city. that's pretty much all we did.

and enjoyed the gorgeous city.

oh, we went to powell's and a kickball game.

yes.

then we took a train up to washington & went fishing.

and drove over to seattle & spent our last night 

in that spectacular city.

my first time.

so of course we went to pike's place & 

took the elevator up to the space needle

(we drank a beer & ate haribo gummi 

bears while watching the sunset. so romantic)

and ate donuts, pizza & drank more beer.

we also walked to lovely park.

here are some photos of our trip

{warning: they are mostly of food & fine beverage}

my vacation started like this. in temecula.

delicious breakfast at jam cafe

on hawthorne. ugh. i want it right now.

heading into downtown portland.

some of the best coffee in portland.

handsome mister amazing at coffeehouse northwest.

a little beer. 

don't worry. i got more later.

local breweries in p town. perfection.

the biggest dahlia i've ever seen. at least 9 inches diameter.

seriously.

picked fresh blueberries. sooo good.

 taken on my 7 mile run near the willamette.

it's a sign. literally. i know. i'm clever.

 first day in seattle. pike place.

top pot donuts in seattle. good thing i don't live there.

i'd be large.

volunteer park in seattle. so pretty.

 pizza at serious pie in seattle. mmm.

and this last week has consisted of preparing for

the flea market this past sunday.

we were well rested but jumping right back into 

things definitely took a bit of adjusting.

so, of course, i have a few flea market 

photos to share with you

on this 

poor man's gard{en} sort of day

i hope you have had a wonderful month of august.

september is around the corner

and there are some exciting things happening

over here this next month & a half. cannot wait

to share.

xoxo

poor man's gard{en} - belated

one day late.

that's all.

but look at those tomatoes 

and our grapevines!!

i've been busy over here

gathering up some items

for the weddings i'm styling in 

these upcoming months,

working on a few custom items

(which you might just get a sneak peak of tomorrow)

and

dreaming up some new business ventures

for disregard{en}.

cannot wait to share as things progress

a bit more.

oh, and preparing for our weeklong vacation

coming up on saturday. 

phew.

hope you have had a wonderful

week so far.

poor man's gard{en}

it's poor man's garden.

at ten o'clock in the evening.

today was a full day.

we had so much fun at

melrose trading post

this past sunday.

met some new friends, sold pieces

to some great new clients

and enjoyed the lovely sunshine.

but i'm exhausted.

on numerous fronts.

so i treated myself to a new outfit today.

it was necessary.

but back to why i am blogging.

here are some photos of this past sunday.

fun, huh?

and we love selling with our friends,

aaron & jen, who own vintage homegrown.

check them out. they are AMAZING.

they make the coolest pieces out of

reclaimed wood -- like tables, and

light fixtures, and jewelry.

love.

i hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable

weekend.

looking forward to showing you some new pieces

this week

and

sharing disregard{en}'s new look

in the next few weeks.

lots of changes going on here 

& i'm super excited.

happy tuesday.

love.

poor man's gard{en} & a little vacation

this last weekend of vacation

up to tahoe & san francisco

has definitely made me feel

slightly out of it. what day is it?!

it's already tuesday? 

it feels like saturday.

maybe friday.

well, i have some photos to share with you

of our trip up north.

disregard{en} is going to be

bringing beauty to a wedding

up in tahoe in september

so we did some

pre-wedding planning & dreaming.

the sight is stunning & the style is going

to be fabulous.

and flowers from san francisco are

going to be perfect!

here are some photos of the beauty

and fun we got to experience on our trip.

i cannot WAIT to go back in September!!!

our morning view in tahoe. amazing.

some waterfalls. 

enough said. 

the ceiling at suppenkuche - a restaurant with 

yummy german food in san fran

the palace of fine arts in san fran

we found our way from tahoe to sacramento to san francisco

over 1000 miles, amazing coffee & food, gorgeous views, 

lovely friends and creativity. it was a perfect

mini-vacation.

oh, and

mr. amazing and i are going to be in newport

with his parents for the next few days for another vacation.

but don't worry, i'll work a little bit...

hope you had a wonderful weekend.

can't wait to show you some new work 

in the next few days!!!

poor man's gard{en} - belated

disregard{en} sold

at two different markets 

this past weekend.

the sunset junction in silverlake

and

the wonderful melrose trading post

if you didn't get a chance

to visit at either,

here are some photos

of disregard{en}'s

traveling shops.

it's the traveling 

poor man's gard{en}

get it?!

ha.


sunset junction

and


melrose trading post

both days were extremely hot but 
wonderful. we got to connect with great friends
and made some lovely new ones!




thanks for your patience this week
while i recovered from
quite an exhausting few days.
i think i'm almost 100% myself.
and i don't think i want to do back to back
sales very often. 
one per weekend is enough for me.
yep.


love to you again!


xo.
