Bright Yellow World

Y’all.

I don’t know how that was for you, but reading your limericks had me in stitches. You people ROCK! And thanks, too, to all of you who didn’t rhyme but left a note. I know I came up with probably the most ridiculous challenge ever… but lord, was it fun! So the winner: Congratulations, Noelle, be sure to head on over to SarkaTrager and choose your prize! Your limerick about wanting to win a contest had me rolling on the floor, so thanks for that! You earned it, lady! And, because this contest required some actual work… the rest of you win something, too!!! Sandy, Pete, Melissa, Marci, Chiada, and Jules… send me your email, and I promise to send you something San Frantastic!

I just made that up. Should I copyright it? No? You say it’s too dorky? Fine.

A little bit about the prize from yesterday: Rich Trager and Sarka Holeckova are my two favorite merchants at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza craft market. This boyfriend/girlfriend couple have been out there nearly every day since I moved to this city. One of my earliest purchases was this photo,

which I absolutely adore. At the moment I own five of their prints, and I’ve purchased countless others for friends and family members. I’d show you what they look like matted and framed, hanging on my walls, but they’ve been taken down at the moment. Why? I’m so glad you asked! Because (segue to announcement number two)

I’M MOVING TO A MUCH COOLER, CHEAPER, MORE AWESOME APARTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the best roommate EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This all came to be two days ago, when one of my (hello, brain, let’s read what we wrote before publishing with sentence fragments) Wundergirl sent me an email inquiring whether or not I’d be interested. People. I have been talking about moving for over a year. (The linked post is less than a year old, but I needed EVIDENCE.) The timing is perfect, the place is fantastic, I’m closer to work and HW’s house… I couldn’t ask for a better situation.

All this is, of course, to forewarn you that you’re about to be inundated with posts about moving, selling furniture, buying furniture, window treatments, etc. There might be more voting. We’ll see.
