week 6 + paperclipping roundtable

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.

    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. :)

    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!
