i am tired and happy and full of love

Gabriela Eisenhart November 14, 2010

mostly i feel like this...

only in my case there is a half empty glass of wine in my hand and i am wearing a t shirt with pit stains.

weekend highlights:

shopping at an antiques store where i procured a lucite bench for the foot of the bed.

brokesprained my toe.

pieces inc. for furniture humping.

pot roast and cheerleading.

the nolanator- the most charming love bug almost 4 year old ever.

wedding cake cupcakes with 5 inch mounds of icing in and on my facepiece.

roast chicken and the dumbest brownie pudding you ever did throw in your mouth.

mostly i just reveled in the glow of three of the most awesome women i know.

i didn't take any pictures bc i am a douche. (and probably now dead to you)

but i think they did so hopefully this week i will steal STEAL from their blogs.

i hope you all enjoyed your weekend and managed to not get

a.) murdered

b.) stung by a bee

c.) diarrhea'd on by an alien with acid poop

d.) butt sex from a robot

adventures with susie

Gabriela Eisenhart October 14, 2010

yesterday my friend susie and i finally went to fabric world in stone mountain...which is NOT fancy.

but there are some sneaky hidden yummies if you can avert your eyes to the gross doctors office fabrics from the 80's.

like this:

this is 2 yards of something velvety and silky and more expensive than the 2.99 per yard that i paid for it.

it's a sexy shade of greenish blue. and it would be awesome on a chair like this:

and if i had one of these badass mothers i would.

a trio of cheap but good.

blue green velvet.

brown ikat.

nubby neutral linen.

nothing planned for the top 2 but am going to have a console skirt made for the table under the flat screen until i can get something like this:

so after fabric world we went to a newish store in buckhead (right behind lee kleinhelter's pieces) called Bee.

it was good inside...

steep prices fer sure.

those bee hive looking things were 750 a piece.

but they had very unique things. none of it looked like i could get a cheaper version at west elm.

those bowls on that fabulous lucite table were from a shipwreck!

prepare yourselves...

this caramel colored leather mies van der rohe lounger was the most MOTHERFUCKINGUNBELIEVABLYCOMFORTABLECHAIRIEVERDIDSITIN!

for real..

if i had the 9800 dollars that they were charging for it i would have bought it right then and there no questions asked.

they should model birthing beds after this.

my birthday is in 2 months and i am pretty sure if each reader sent me 2 dollars i could have it.

then i would invite all of you over for sitting in it.

it would be like when someone sees mary in a piece of toast.

they would come for miles to sit in this chair..

aaaaaaand since we were so close to pieces inc. we couldn't NOT go inside...

i have loved these metallic cowhide covered chairs since i first saw them back when j'adler was here signing pottery..

and these too...

UGGH!!!! i die for these...they are covered in hot pink wool and they are 4800 a PIECE!!!!!

SHITONMYFAAAACE!!!!!!!!!

then me and this frosted pink glass lamp became friends for life..

you all need to go into pieces and bee.

so they can rub how poor you are in your face.

but then go to fabric world so you can feel like a king again.

susie at eye spy has more from this day and less cussing... HERE.

pieces of pottery

Gabriela Eisenhart July 17, 2010

sorry this recap has taken me 2 days to post.

diarrhea happened as did period related malaise.

i had a great time at the pieces party!

let's recap this bitch..

here is adler between 2 orchids

not to be confused with this bit of genius here -(for real watch this)

no. i didn't talk to him.

i honestly didn't know what i would say.

'hi' seemed so weird.

things like "your pottery is pretty" and "you're much cuter in person" seemed rude and dumb.

"i'm a blogger" seemed worse than if i had said "i wish hitler were still around".

he was rather diminutive. yet svelte and athletic.

he had on converse.

green i think. lime green.

he sat behind a burlwood table with a chrome base and signed pottery all night long.

i wasn't expecting this to be so much like a book signing.

i was hoping adler would get his drink on with me all of us.

i thought about buying a candle.

didn't.

thought about stealing buying a chrome and metallic cowhide chair.

didn't.

instead i drank. a lot.

i think.

pieces is small.

white.

and full of goodness.

i think a lot of the goodness was moved away for party purposes.

sadness.

i took a few pics right out the gate...

there were a lot of pretty, young people inside.

i am pretty sure they were filming an episode of gossip girl.

i spotted my new boyfriend brian...i call him rosie.

brian is SUPER HIGH ENERGY.

i think we mated. humping definitely happened.

erika of blu label bungalow was there.

she is prettier than anyone ever. like nubian i think.

i went with my best girl mollsballs...

that guy standing behind her i think has murder in his eyes. or love.

i have heat murder in my eyes.

bc it was 417 degrees inside pieces inc.

this made me murder-y for sure.

lee has clippings from her magazine features in the back office area...

things like this are always my favorite part.

and the bathroom:

i did not poop.

but i think i peed at least 4 times.

i stole this picture from erika:

lee was lovely.

and small.

the woman on the right was the PR lady. kyle.

she cut off my picture taking.

i was not pleased with this.

you see i waited til the end to take pictures bc there were so many people i couldn't get proper fab shots of all the pieces goodness.

everyone left and i started snapping left and right.

that shit got ended.

not..really sure...why.

so i stole a pic from sorellina:

i did manage to pet lee's dog.

who was soft, sweet and clean...

ryder (i think-i was drunk, maybe it was riley?)

but honestly...

this pretty much summed it up for me...

note to everyone:

if you invite me to your party i will either poop in your toilet,

lay down on your couch and start watching tv,

drink all of your booze and eat all of your food and probably bake a cake in your kitchen,

try on your clothes,

spray your perfume onto my body,

and hump you.

***so we're clear...

i had a great time...many thanks to lee and the pieces team for a gorgeous party.

i am humbled by your use of faux topiary all over the bar.

it was genius.
