“Vespa Wind” original cut paper on canvas

Crystal — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:57:13 +0000

Yesterday we saw the print, “Pink Vespa” from Jennifer DeDonato – today’s super cool find is also from her colorflystudio etsy shop. This original cut paper collage is called “Vespa Wind,” is 8 inches by 10 inches, and would be perfect for hanging over your fireplace. Hmmm… or maybe it will be perfect for over my fireplace. Thanks again to colorflystudio for permission to use this image here.

Remember the Vespa wall decal I mentioned the other day? Well, the folks at Dali Decals were kind enough to make up this photo of a pink version of the decal just to show scoot|pink readers. Thanks Dali Decals!

Ok, so it’s not pink in the photo, but it does come in pink! Omily found this 20 inch tall by 30 inch wide vinyl scooter wall decal that is available in over 40 colors/textures at Dali Decals, including glossy or matte shades of pink. Prices start at $40. The company will also make custom sizes if you need one really really really really big.

Lisa’s look-alike and the lamp

Lisa sent me another photo of one of her pink scooter collection (remember the Barbie series?). This time, it’s her pink Pottery Barn scooter lamp ridden by “Trendy Tracy,” a Ty doll that just happens to look like Lisa when she has long hair. Lisa found her lamp on ebay a few years ago, and they can occassionally still be found there for various prices. The tail light, blinkers, and headlight all light up.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Lois!! (that’s my sister). Hey, you know what? Trendy Tracy looks a little like Lois, too.

P.P.S. Thank you all who have sent donations for the Last Mile Ride! As you read this, I’m riding 100 miles on my Vespa along with 100+ motorcycles, dressed up in pink gear with my pink scooter seat cover. It’s not too late to donate, so get ‘em on in.

Corey Allen, artist and owner of Moss Street Gallery in New Orleans, graciously gave me permission to post a copy of his beautiful painting, Blue & Pink Vespas on Magazine Street here on scoot|pink. Framed ($125) or unframed ($75) prints are available on his site on the prints page. Corey tells me he not only paints images of Vespas, he’s a proud owner/rider, too.

colorful salvaged tire seats

From the store One Eco Home comes the unusual and clever Recycled Tyre Seat – a used scooter tire that has been cleaned up and filled with colorful vinyl-covered foam. The retail price is £50.00 plus shipping. What a clever way to keep the landfills less full.

the Jam Tart Vespa kitchen collection

Crystal — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:34:24 +0000

scoot|pink’s roving reporter Omily found this cute little Jam Tart Scooter Tea Towel in pink from Glanvilles of Wadebridge in the UK. The site doesn’t have any specs other than it costing £4.20, but maybe just being cute and pink is enough.

The site features a plethora of neato housewares and cookware, including handbag lamps (how can these fall out of fashion?), neon silicone garlic peelers (a different color for every day of the week), and best of all, even more Jam Tart pink-scooter kitchen helpers. Every household needs a pink Vespa scooter/Ape/400 emblazened tea cozy (£11.00), matching oven mitts (£11.00), as well as a bbq ‘gauntlet’ glove (£9.30). Orders in the UK ship free if they top £50.00, so if you get one of each – and a lamp – you’ll save on delivery costs.

Plus, if you buy it by midnight tonight PST, there’s a 20% off coupon available – when you click on the image on the right, it will take you to art.com and the coupon banner is at the top of the screen.
