Animal Head Art: Amanda Lynch Smith's Songbirds

My dear friend Amanda is a talented artist and ceramicist. Her normal work can get a bit pricey, but in the last few months she has opened an etsy shop featuring some more affordable pieces, including a whole series of songbirds with lady faces. (I know that's kind of the opposite of the way we do things at AHV - we're bigger on animal heads and human bodies - but this juxtaposition is just as awesome). Plus, she uses lots of different vintage molds to make some of her little characters.

These faces just kill me:

Video - 3 Minute Heather Remake

The other day we went down to my backyard to shoot some clothes for the shop, and found that we weren't the only ones down there for once. There was a music video being shot, but all we could tell was that it had an awesome vintage 80s vibe to it and some pretty creepy mannequins.

Turns out, they were filming a three minute musical interpretation of the first scene from the movie Heathers to promote the 80s dance club Darling Nikki. Glad to know the backyard is a home for so much creativity:

Shop Preview: Fall Jackets

Just a sneak peek at a few things hitting the shop this week - long sleeves and tweed, perfect for fall.

Vintage Shopping: German Science Posters

I was at the Alameda Flea Market last month and there was a gentleman there selling beautiful German pull-down posters with all sorts of science related diagrams out of the back of an old van. I haven't stopped thinking about them since, and may have to return next month ready to pony up some cash for one.

In the meantime, I've been looking around for them online. I spotted these from Berlinner Strasse. They are all original (instead of all the reproductions out there), ship straight from Germany, and range in price from $200-$300 - and they are so pretty:

(and other similar posters can be found at Ekho Vintage or Bonnie & Bell as well)
