confidence is key
Hello everyone.
Today, instead of the safe, level-headed cat lady that i am, i'm imagining that i'm a girl who throws caution to the wind and doesn't care what people think. my imaginary agenda for the day:

What does yours look like?
1. get a tattoo
2. skip work to bake mini pies. and then go to a park to eat them all.
3. ditch my car for a pink motorcycle

My friend joyce showed me these little japanese teacups...with hidden animals in the center! Creepy or cute...I'm not sure, but I do want one.

Quiet
The moments that seem the most ordinary tend to be the ones that make me feel so strange. Kind of like how an ordinary commercial can make me burst into tears. Weird.

color me kraft
Trying to make more kraft journals. I'm not really digging the watercolor on kraft look ... though I do love those two things separately. Together the colors aren't able to retain their vibrancy... time to experiment more! Stay tuned for these journals being sold in the shop.
Thank you for your patience!

ila handbags
Ila handbags/clutches are all handmade with new and vintage fabrics. If you have an old family heirloom, such as a brooch or handkerchief, Paula can incorporate them into a custom clutch for you! I would love to give these handbags as a bridesmaid's gift or something. So cute!

2011 planners
I'm on the lookout for a cute planner. I know, the year is already in full swing but I still want one. I keep being drawn to korean ones!

Here's one I found on ebay from seller babosarang:

brodard, mini horses and solvang
Brace yourself, this is a huge picture post with random images all thrown together because I don't know where to put them all. Kind of like cleaning the last 10 minutes before a guest comes: throw it all under the bed.
Last few hur-rah's of 2010:
First off... brodard in fountain valley!
the neck warmer i made for her :)
best vietnemese coffee ever!
santa barbara/solvang to visit mr T:

cute bookstore we found!
