Wood Wall Hanging

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

What a summer it has been here in Des Moines, between heat and storms it’s felt pretty extreme. Two weeks ago we had such a storm come through, toppling trees down with 75 mile per hour wind. We should have more then enough wood to last us for years.

Here is just another great way to use that over abundance of branches you have stock piled on your burn pile.

Reclaimed wood stools

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Looking for a great stool with rustic but contemporary design?  What a fantastic way to use some of those leftover wood pieces you have laying around!

I would just love to have some of these in my house.

You can find out more information regarding how these were made and why via Apartment Therapy

How do you celebrate?

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Hope you all are having a fantastic holiday weekend and enjoying wonderful things from picnics to camping, to music festivals and fireworks, fabulous foods such as apple and cherry pies and good old fried chicken.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

On the road again.

Monday, June 28th, 2010

At the beginning of this month Sarah and I took UrbanPosture and booth helper Tiffany and ALL our goods to Brooklyn, NY for our very first show outside of the Midwest. Renegade Craft hosts many great indie craft shows throughout the country with Brooklyn being one of their locations.

We made the road trip there a two day occasion and took our time driving interstate 80 taking turns between the 3 of us gals driving.  Pennsylvania was so beautiful… I think a vacation there would be lovely.   Such beautiful vasts of trees and blankets ferns! It only makes sense that we would love all this!

We got into Manhattan late Thursday night, drove through some very narrow streets in Soho, took the Williamsburg Bridge over to Brooklyn and found a street parking spot only 3 blocks away from our friend Erica’s apartment. Success!

Saturday morning was the beginning  of Renegade and off to McCarren Park we went. The day was HOT and sunny, you would think that us Iowans would be use to that.

We had a great time meeting other vendors as well as chatting it up with customers. Many people were amazed that we came ALL the way from Iowa for the show.  We really have to admit it was because of the  encouragement from the gentleman of Gnome Enterprises that we made the trip.

It was a blast and we hope to do it again! Brooklyn we HEART YOU!
