almost to 100!

Hey everyone, I am at 99 sales on my Etsy shop right now! And although it may not seem like a big deal in the grand scheme of all that is Etsy, this is a big accomplishment for me so I'd like to thank my faithful blog followers by announcing that whoever is my 100, 101, and 102 customers will receive some extra Small Adventure goods in their package. And this is the perfect time to buy Valentine's Day gifts so you can purchase a gift for someone and get some free stuff for yourself. Or vice versa.

new books!

This past weekend I bought two sweet books! The Camilla Engman book I've wanted for a long time and Reform School in Silverlake had it so I bought it. Malachi and I were actually in Silverlake to drop off some of his comics to sell at Secret Headquarters, the nicest comic book store I've ever been in. I bought The Wolf's Whistle book (about a small wolf who loves superhero comics) there. It's published by Nobrow, an amazing company in England. The illustrations are incredible. I want to buy many of Nobrow's art books and comics.

doll clothes collection. embarrassing?

I've been quite interested in collecting doll clothes and accessories for my childhood doll as of late. I'm a bit embarrassed since it seems both childish and kind of old lady-ish at the same time. But I just can't help myself. Besides collecting I would also like to make my own clothes and things. Perhaps sometime I will be good enough at it to make some dolls for the Small Adventure shop? Anyways, here are a few of my new and old favorites.

These pants are high waisted and corduroy which is pretty awesome and the plaid shirt has real buttons instead of velcro. And the black tube underneath the glasses is a working kaleidoscope.

a card update

These are the newest cards that I have for sale in the shop! There are two different sets of cards. One is of 6 individual North American animals that I have painted in more detail and the second is a collection of simple tiny animals all on one card. The latter set is a set of 8 cards that are all the same. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out! They come packaged in a sturdy kraft cardboard box. Purchase them here and here.

a small update

Both of these wood slices are available in the shop. I know I haven't kept with my promise to update the shop in a week. But I will be updating in bits and pieces.

I don't know if this is of much interest to you, but I am selling my camera. It's the camera that I've used to take all my product pictures and all the pictures on my blog. It's treated me well for a long time, but I'm finally ready to get something smaller and more portable for traveling and events and such. I'm selling it in a large package of 2 lenses, 2 batteries, charger, computer cord, black leather camera bag, 3 lens filters, and many little extras such as cleaning supplies and the original manual. I'm asking $600 or best offer. If you're interested contact me at asmalladventure [at] gmail.com replacing the [at] with @ of course. And if you want to know more information I have a Craigslist ad here.

sf holiday renegade 2010

Here are a few pictures from my booth at the San Francisco Holiday Renegade Craft Fair from a couple weekends ago. Unfortunately, it was pretty dark in the Concourse Convention Center so most of the pictures didn't turn out so great. But here are a few to give you an idea of what my first whole booth looked like. I've only ever split a booth with someone else so it was kind of cool to try it out by myself. You can see my mom sitting behind one of the tables. Thanks so much for your help, Mom!!
