happy halloween

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Happy Halloween to you! We carved our pumpkins last night. These are our before and after shots. This halloween Holly is Little Red Riding Hood and Mr. Otis is The Big Bad Wolf (although he really looks like a bear, because the only thing I could find was a brown fleece suit with ears). He looks really scary though.

Don’t forget to take advantage of our FREE SHIPPING for halloween! It runs through Sunday morning. Have a safe and happy halloween.

boo!

dear creatures.

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

I recently fell in love with the clothing line dear creatures. The fall collection is inspired by mid-century designer Alexander Girard, Scandinavian folk art and the artwork of Mary Blair. A beautiful collection that makes me dream of romantic nautical adventures. Although we don’t carry clothes at Three Potato Four, we couldn’t resist carrying a lovely tote from dear creatures. The viking tote, get yours here.

Terrarium of the Future…Today!

Monday, October 20th, 2008



We’ve had this old space-aged terrarium in our basement since we moved and before that it was in storage in our apt in brooklyn, but it’s finally found a place in one of our home offices (ex-dining room). The plastic’s a bit cloudy, but overall it cleaned up really well. We had our nephew over a few weeks back and he did an amazing landscaping job, even adding the vintage Matchbox jeep + camper to the desert scene. There’s also a mini plastic cow in there which was Holly’s addition.

The 50′s kids chairs in the background are going to be part of an upcoming Kids Chairs collection that will be up in the shop in a few weeks.

Just for me.

A little peek of what’s in the shop this week. Hope your weekend was fantastic!

favorite book sale find.

I like to go to library sales. I like that the books have their plastic protective sleeves and if you’re lucky some still have the library checkout cards stuck inside. I remember writing my name on cards like these when checking out a book. I like knowing that this book has been worn and read by many. Must be why I love vintage things.

Here is one favorite book sale find that we got for Holly.
