Happy Valentines Day! We’re going to celebrate by staying home and watching movies in a complete vacuum of flowers or chocolates or anything red and pink.

A new Anthropologie store opened in Palo Alto – I love everything in that place but I just can’t buy anything, it is all so expensive. One of the things I wanted most was a Orla Kiely bag. It’s too bad the stuff on Anthropologie’s website is so different from the stuff in the stores, if it was the same inventory I could at least visit pictures of the things I like.

Does anyone know where the Discount Fabrics warehouse in San Francisco actually is? My searches are showing up a variety of different loctions (Bryant at 4th, 501 3rd, Mission Street) and I completely don’t know which is current (or correct). Do you know?

Yay! Something I’ve been hoping would appear for a few years has! Negative candy conversation hearts – Bittersweets “perfectly suited to the dejected spirits of those who will spend the holiday alone, or wishing they were” – from Despair.com. via Going Bridal.

This lovely person has taken in a poor little dog who showed up on her doorstep. In her words:

“Yesterday morning we were woken up by a weak barking at our front door. A little old pomeranian had found his way to our home, and desperately needed our help. We call him Heir Baron Munchausen.

Munchee is between 6 and 12 years old and appears to have traveled a great distance before ending up here. He’s very weak and has been sleeping for a record 26 hours strait. He hasn’t touched food and I have to force feed him water. One of his nails is half-ripped out and remains intact only because a matted hair overgrowth is wrapped around it.

In addition to being severely malnourished, he is anemic from the flea colony (population: 3-400) living on his little frame. He weighs in at about 1 pound or less.

Baron Munchee does not feel good, and I think he deserves to feel better.”

You can go see pictures of the adorable Baron at www.line-noise.com (the full story is here) and if you would like to help with a donation or something much needed (flea collar, clippers, vitamins) they are very welcome. I’m a little late on this since I’ve been absent, and it appears he is doing better, but is still in need of some things. Jacqueline is a very kind person!

I really like the wool throw at Publique Living – exaggerated moss stitch is kind of interesting.

Check out the January 30th entry at weaksauce – boob scarf. wow.

There are several Tool Lending Libraryies in the Bay Area, yay! San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland. I wish there was one closer to me, but I live in suburbs now, I suppose I’m expected to have my own tools. Via GirlHacker.

Pretty pretty stuff at Vivre, none of which I can afford. But they do have colorful hot water bottles like the ones ljc was talking about recently.

The knitwear on Ed has been looking good for the last few episodes. How would I find out who does it?

A new Wish Jar Tales is up, and Miss Bea has her own site now!

Unica Home, because they seem to carry all of the design-y products.

Another really cute sock doggie, awww. Let me know if you or anyone has pictures up to share.
