a weekend in los angeles

I took my first vacation since opening the shop.

I ate well, slept some and caught up with a handful of old friends.

I came back with tons of inspiration and full of ideas.

Here are some snapshots from the weekend.

 Though a little chilly and windy, it's still the beach, and I'll take it.

I love you Santa Monica.  So beachy cool.

The view from my hosts' casa in The Hills.

Thank you note materials for an especially patriotic host.

This candy bar lives up to the hype.  

 I had this album on repeat all weekend.

 826LA is a super cool program encouraging writing and creativity amongst LA kiddos.

Kid-written lyrics + known LA performers = this fabulous album.  

My favorite song is The Fun Party.
