This is my boss steve.
Steve is the most world renowned scholar on ancient Islamic coins. He knows more about them than anybody else. He can tell you who ruled, when, where, what happened to them when they were three, how they were dethroned, and what coins were in circulation at the time. He also knows more about California geography then anyone I know. I think he's been to every city in the state and knows every highway and freeway that gets you there. His brain is a perfectly accurate time line. He is turning 68 tomorrow and still travels the world unearthing coins and appraising collections. A truly amazing individual as eccentric as he is brilliant. Happy birthday Steve!

Mushrooms!
Mushrooms never get old! This is how I've been keeping busy while the weather refuses to cooperate and throngs of visitors from out of town have come knocking on our door. I am happy to call two of the best foragers of wild fungi around my close friends and am always happy to have them over for mushroom feasts and the such. These usually come with ample wine, cocktails, dessert, and a healthy side of hilarity...

Just a little something i thought would be fun for the holidays...
So as we all know, i'm a big fan of getting my yoga on to keep me soft and supple in between magical bike rides. Three Dog Yoga Studio has been a key player in my quest as well as keeping my head screwed on straight. So it makes sense that i should dabble into making them fun products using my burgeoning sewing skills. So i came up with the sweat towel, which ended up being good for all matter of workouts, and recently for the holidays the savasanah/sweat towel combo gift pack.
These little eye pillows have one side made of soft terry cloth and the other some smashing vintage or recycled fabric from my collection. They are all filled with organic pearl rice which is awesome if you want to nuke them for a couple seconds and warm them up. Perf after a long stressfull day. Each set includes an eye pillow and a towel and retails for $ 32.00. So far so good they seem to be a hit! Looks like i need to plan my Christmas stock a little better next year...
In other news...I will be making a full run of Steelman Cycles hats and bags after the new year. If you don't know about Steelman Cycles you should....

Sometimes I do this.
Big coin auction at my work tomorrow. Pulling a twelver. Should be exciting! i've never been part of a real live auction before!!
i don't usually do this but....scary.
This picture was in my inbox this morning when i got to work with this caption underneath it...:
Sarah Palin doesn't even pretend to have her speech memorized, as she holds out her palm to show the notes on it while speaking at a fundraising dinner at California State. The former governor jokingly referred to the technique as a "poor man's teleprompter."
