Yesterday I had a meeting to give a client the album she commissioned for her parents’ wedding. Instead of having me drive up to meet at her house, we found a mid-way point. I suggested Brentwood Country Mart – specifically Sweet Rose so I could get a scoop of their unbelievable Salted Caramel ice cream. Seriously people, it’s one of the best things I have ever had. And I don’t allow myself to get a pint to bring home because that would just be dangerous. And because it wouldn’t have that special sea salt they sprinkle on top of every scoop if you want it. So while I was enjoying my single scoop of heaven ice cream at 5:30pm (yes, dessert before dinner), she flipped through the album.
The caption below this reveals their last name and details of the wedding. It’s really cute because it was actually in Marjorie’s parents living room during half-time of a big college football game. How sweet! Not only was it an honor seeing and working with the old photos (all enlargements – mostly 8X10), but it was a pleasure seeing her reaction to the completed album. It was on her to-do list since 2010 and probably on her mother’s for over 40 years.

the perfect excuse to have ice cream
 |
how fun!!
xo
Sounds like a fun project, one that will be treasured for generations! And by the way, who needs an excuse for ice cream?!
Sounds delicious. What a cute project!
I think a trip to Brentwood is in order to try that ice cream – especially if we can squeeze in a viewing of Gloria and Jay’s house!
That sounds like such a sweet and meaningful project to work on. And the ice cream doesn’t sound so bad either. =)
how awesome and Lucy would say you don’t need an excuse for ice cream, she LOVES it
The ice cream sounds yummy!! and the album is awesome xox
whenever I read your blog I always think I didn’t appreciate my hometown as much as I should have. I was born and raised in LA…spent 35 years of my life there. You celebrate it in such a joyful way. It makes me homesick, but it also makes me so happy to catch a glimpse of all the things that make the city of angels so fabulous!
