Week 6 and yes, same story – keeping it simple and still loving it (and the desk remains a mess). Threw in the Day in the Life page protector right in the middle of this week.
The Be Optimistic postcard by Keep Calm Gallery was sent in a cute little package from Jamaica, the person, not the place. And I know it’s kind of strange, but I had to put the feathers that have been in my hair since August in the little pocket. I am not quite sure why the feathers manage to stay with me for so long since most people lose them in 6-8 weeks. I had a dreadlock forming that was a bit worrisome, so I took some pliers and removed the little clasp holding everything in. Then happily I only lost minimal hair while trying to comb out the knots with my fingers + conditioner in the shower.
If you’re in Beverly Hills, looking for a sweet restaurant, Tagine is my recommendation. JC and I went with another couple and we all did the Tasting Menu. It was fantastic. We didn’t get a glimpse of part-owner, Ryan Gosling because he’s in Thailand, but really enjoyed this tucked away gem on Robertson. It was too dark for photos, but trust me, the food tasted as good as it looked.
The last photo is what we got at the Farmer’s Market in Santa Monica. Although I got all excited about finding a pomelo (what looks like a huge grapefruit), it wasn’t nearly as juicy or sweet as the ones I had in Thailand in December. The kale soup JC made on Sunday was delicious as usual.
Yesterday I recorded my first appearance on Paper Clipping Roundtable. I had a great time chatting with everyone and the 90 minutes really did go by quickly, as Stacy points out at the end. Elle’s Studio tags are my pick of the week, as they are perfect for various paper crafts, especially Project Life. Plus they’re super cute, which you’ll hear me say more than once if you listen to episode 102.
mmmm pummelos!! =) love those too.i love your PL. I'm listening to the roundtable now =)xo
Fabulous! You have such a great eye for color. Love that Be Optimistic insert too. I've said it once and I'll say it again…I miss living in L.A.! Love getting to live vicariously through your album.
I love seeing a bit of your messy desk – it looks a lot like mine! Can't wait to hear you on the roundtable.
I need to know more about the kale soup; I have been buying it every week at the kailua open market and love it; would love some fresh recipes.
just started listening to PCRT in the car on the way from Chipolte-so interesting to hear about how you scrapbook for others-what a cool way to do something you love (AND GET PAID FOR IT)! i really enjoyed looking at your PL pages-definetly doable when you keep it simple (which i forget sometimes)have a great week!
cute PL pages! I'll be listening to the roundtable tomorrow!
You actually used that awesome red/teal airmail Clementine card! Looks so good, I can't help hoarding mine
sorry, i'm obsessed with airmail envelopes! your pages look great, thanks for all the washi inspiration too.
i love your book…it is such a cool thing because you don't just put pictures! i love that!!
i need to try pummello again, the one i had wasn't impressive but maybe because i had it in my cupboard for a few weeks?I love the colorful mix and variety with photos, products, and pieces of your life you bring every week to your PL. very inspiring.Also curious what Whole Foods you frequent? I work in one in NYC and love it, but I notice our tags don't look like yours.
Tiffany – I shop at the infamous Whole Foods that was one of the ones featured in the "Whole Foods Parking Lot" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFc1pr2yUUIt's in Venice at the corner of Rose & Lincoln. Fabio was there on Valentine's Day. Too funny.
I love your PL pages! You're in ATL now? Whaaaa? Are you coming to Florida soon?
Pomelos!! Ranch 99 sells them right across the street from Our Paper Place
….just so you know in case you feel like having one next time you come up to the bay area.I signed up for your class there in april! Can't wait!
Are those 2×2 inch coin collecting protectors? I just saw how another person used those so I ordered some. I love what you have done with them and can't wait to receive mine.
Karman – sure! I think they are slide protector pages, but the measurements seem right and would be good for coins too. They aren't that heavy in weight though, if that makes sense. Love the squares too!
