Meet our newest find, Coltrane Francis Yousling.

Apart from moving, new jobs, traveling, and other various life changes during our hiatus…we had a kid. And a pretty sweet one at that. This new adventure has expanded our horizons as vintage and modern inspired enthusiasts…so you’ll see some of that here as we explore mid-century and design as parents now. We can’t wait to share. :)

p.s. we think he looks a bit like Steve Zissou, don’t you?

Somewhere, some place there is a storage unit busting at the seams with vintage finds and furniture.

Wow, it has been over a week since we’ve posted and it has been one crazy week. We are now moved out of our lovely beach home, we miss it so much already, but we are headed to greener pastures…or so we think. ;) We’re on the hunt for a fab place right in the city and can’t wait to settle, style and share. We’ve been collecting mid-century and Danish modern furnishings for a long time and can’t wait to fully utilize our finds and have room to display them all. Until we move in, we are storing our finds in a storage unit. Despite what it may look like, we have actually strategically placed each of the pieces you see above. ;)

We had to make a last minute trip out of town due to a family emergency, but we’ll be sharing some fun things over the next week while we’re gone and we have some amazing guest posts to share as well. As silly as this sounds, we’ve missed you all while we’ve been away and can’t wait to share the gobs of goodies we’ve found for the store. Two words, orange…turquoise.

Breaking News….(kinda)

This week PicClick rolled out a really sweet new interface for Etsy. But, before we explain, here’s a quick rundown on PicClick.

PicClick.com has been around since September 2003 and really broke out in 2006, when they launched listpic.com a visual browsing and search tool for Craigslist. Unfortunately, 9 months later Craigslist blocked Listpic, citing reasons such as bandwidth drains and a shameless attempt to monetize Craigslist. However PicClick marched on unfaltering and they went on to further develop their powerful API based visual shopping technology. In 2008 PickClick.com unveiled the latest attempt to revolutionize the online shopping experience, by providing a visual search tool for ebay.com and soon after for amazon.com.

On to the main event, the reason Twitter and Etsy forums are a buzz (lol) today.

This week PicClick launched an Etsy version of PicClick, allowing shoppers to search through pages of thumbnails. The search can be specified through all the expected parameters; item,price, listing date, etc. This could be the greatest thing since sliced bread for some Etsy addicts. Users can quickly peruse items to find their desired treasure or discover all the stuff they never new they wanted (Regretsy). Not to mention the additional revenue PicClick will produce, here’s what Mashable had to say:

“As it stands, PicClick generates about $1 million in gross product sales per month for eBay and other sellers, so the integration of Etsy could prove to be a powerful sales tool for that site as well.”

Personally, we think this is amazing and gives us an additional reason to relist our stuff. :)

So, go check it out and let us know what you think.
