90210. Totally.

Brandon, Brenda, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, David, Andrea and Steve. These are the characters that make me laugh, smile, cry, cringe...and ultimately, hit the "play next episode" button on Netflix. I've made it through Season 5...and Brandon is STILL so righteous!


Normally, I don't promote my own shop. But today is different--today is "90210 Day" (...echo...). You know, 9/2/10! So in honor of one of the best shows to ever appear on television, I'm offering up a special deal:

Now through 9/12, take $5 off of any chalkboard currently listed in my Etsy shop. When you checkout, simply mention the code "90210" and I'll refund you $5 through Paypal.

As an added bonus, if your chalkboard is being delivered to California, you'll get $6 off! And the coup de gras--if its being sent to Beverly Hills, you'll get a $9.02 discount! How cool is that? Shaa...as if.

Eco-friendlier. New chalkboards -- the "all-wood" series.

For those of you familiar with my Etsy shop, you've most likely seen my staple item: the repurposed chalkboard.  Typically, I upcycle these from old windows and cabinet doors (and feature a functional assortment of vintage/salvaged hardware).  On a recent salvaging expedition, I came across a big 'ol pile of wooden cabinet doors that were still in like new condition.  Usually, I sand and paint these, but these guys were in such great shape that I decided to leave them in their natural state.  They are now part of my "All-Wood" series, and were just recently listed in my shop.  Here are the stars of the show:

THE SOUS CHEF - $49.

GRAPE NOTES - $47.

THE ROOTS - $45.

TURN A SQUARE - $47.

HOUSE OF CHALK - $39.

"House of Chalk" has now been nominated for the "Trash to Craft" Challenge.  The eco-friendly item that wins will be featured on "The Daily Green"!  To vote, head on over to Etsy.  Here's the link: Trash to Craft Challenge.  Vote for Half Pint Salvage!
