COWABUNGA.


This morning, I looked outside my office window to see a calf in the bed of a pick up truck. I walk right passed it as I entered the building too. Apparently our neighbors used the baby cow for a video shoot. Its not too often to spot one of these on a busy Los Angeles boulevard. Then again... in this city anything is possible.

MY MOM'S DAY.


Last Saturday was my mom's birthday and I did all the things she would do for everyone else's birthday for HER. Made her a big sign, made everyone wear stickers in her honor, got her a gift she really wanted, and pulled off a surprise dinner. I love you Mom!

GRANDMA GONE VIRAL.

Mothers Day was a busy time for me and my family. But nonetheless we still had a chance to celebrate. The "Moms" run the show in my family, so they deserve all the praise, more than one day of the year would allow. My grandma, however, who is quite young at heart received more than praise that Sunday, and got suckered into a joke.

CHARACTER.

What is it about flea markets that I am so drawn to? When we went to Paris last year, I wanted to go to every market. I bought a book that was dedicated to Paris markets alone! We went to the PCC Flea Market last weekend. Its tamer than the Rose Bowl Flea Market but still great finds! I can't wait to go back! Can't wait to go back to Paris either.



I am drawn to old labels and packaging. That attraction suits my design side. Art was more ornate in the early-mid 20th century. There is just more character compared to modern packaging/ branding which is a lot plainer and "simpler".








Doesn't this just make you want to play dress up?

CHELSEA ONE




Yesterday was Chelsea's birthday. I'm pretty sure she got bigger just over the weekend. I remember when my dad brought her home. She was a scared-little puppy. Now shes chubby and fearless. She has so much personality. We got her toys for her birthday and gave her lots of attention. She loved it all. Happy Birthday Chelsea Bear!
