dream catching

Kathryn Bentley has very recently opened her Dream Collective boutique in Silver Lake and I just caught wind of it. It'll be the first place I hit up when in LA next month and I'm sure I'll be heart broken to not be able to get one of each of everything. Sigh..... Nevertheless, it doesn't stop a girl from dreaming. Check out these mineraliscious stones in her fine jewelry collection.

in the works

 

there has been a lot brewing in the studio lately, mainly getting the new house well appointed! it is still a work in progress and we are enjoying each new addition as it enters the scene, transforming the space into a veritable design paradise that we feel so blessed to create. the custom framed coral fans are the latest mineral forest design. contact me for your own personalized custom framed coral fans!

balancing blocks

resembling natural quartz specimens, these balancing blocks by fort standard are the coolest design accent that also double as a great way to keep your children occupied! available for purchase on their website or where i found them at this super cool shop the supply room which is my favorite new obsession.

ok universe

while back in l.a. end of january, i had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful soul and sharing an incredible experience doing the khalsa way pre-natal teacher training with her at golden bridge. i spotted her on the first morning and new that there was something extra special about her (although of course all the participants had their own glorious glow about them) and if anything, it was the universe telling me to pay attention. we ended up being partners for our practicum practice and i got to learn more about her and her amazing talent throughout the week. turns out she is a ceramic artist and photographer and has her own jewelry line that is sold at mohawk general store. i was hooked. and i told the universe, "ok, i get it". we exchanged ideas, i got to meet her angel of a daughter, and i look forward to this friendship blossoming beyond time and space.

the shattering

getting into the rhythm of 2012 has been a bit slow, only because so much happened in 2011 and i'm just catching my breath. i flashed back to this image taken on a walk in the neighborhood last fall and it seemed to poignantly ring in my spirit - break bad habits, shatter old belief systems. just as soon as you think you have something figured out, or gotten the hang of something, change will inevitably side-swipe you into coming back down to reality to re-visit the patterns that make you get stuck along the way, in order to elevate your experience and ultimately live life from a different perspective. woah, am i getting too metaphysical on your asses?

on a lighter note, just loving the way the mirrors burst out into galactic display. for whatever reason, i'm vibing on it. hope this year brings clarity and vision to your lives and good health and happiness!
