So...I've made the executive decision to export my blog to Wordpress. I'm really happy with the new layout and I think I've just come to the conclusion that Blogger has always given me heck when trying to create a new post. Editing was always such a pain. Amen?!
Thus, if you subscribe to my blog, check out the new location here and REsubscribe, if you so choose.
See you on the other side.

"Avia" Maria
Yesterday, I tagged along with Eric to a group photo shoot for the Long Beach Wedding Collective at the AVIA Hotel in Downtown Long Beach. It's tucked away amongst the shops and restaurants at The Pike near the parking structure. We've passed by on our way to the movie theatre have often wondered about it.
Now I know...and I was not disappointed. It was super cute!
My friend Samuel is thinking about having his birthday party there - they have a rooftop bar pool with cabanas and a fantastic bar stocked with all the essentials - of course. Click here for more photos from the Avia website.
Here are a few photos I took.

Maker Mornings - Sat. May 15th
This past Saturday we held our May Maker Mornings brunch at my house. It was a delight!!
We had a slightly smaller group show this month due to finals and graduations. Congrats grads!!
Words will not suffice so I have provided you with photos -
I made a strawberry & blackberry pie. My first ever...and it was divine!
Breakfast
...is the most important meal of the day. It's during this time, where I'm not especially hungry, the process and the smell of a home-cooked meal in the morning entices my tummy and tantalizes my tongue.
Every morning, I try to eat an energizing breakfast to start the day off right - otherwise, I'll be sluggish and moody all day and won't probably get much done.
Here are some samples of a healthy breakfast (minus the iced latte)...
This egg is atop a toasted & buttered english muffin. Typically I choose toast, but it was moldy so I opted for the english muffin which was delightful as well.

Los Angeles, I'm Yours! Opening Party
Hi all!
WOW!! Ok! Let's catch back up on life. Here are some photos I took from the opening gallery party of the "Los Angeles I'm Yours" show and some from a couple days later (hence, the day light).
Throughout the week, I journeyed up to LA with Eric (otherwise it would have been a "husband who?" kinda week). I got to get to know the Ted and Angie from Poketo, and Bobby Solomon from Kitsune Noir, and landed a helping hand setting up the show when needed. Eric provided the display props - crates, spools, drawers for shelving, rugs/afgans, benches, Jesus with antlers, etc., and also was able to put a few pieces of his own in the show last minute. He had wanted to from the start but got so busy that it shifted in priority. His pieces are shown in some of the photos below - small frames with a two-toned background exhibiting some sort of person or thing, some potted succulents in mugs and other curio (like a TonkaTruck), and wood wedges with set of silver balls atop.
Umami Burger was the breakfast/lunch/dinner of choice. It's right across the courtyard from the gallery at Space15Twenty and it's super delish. If you like burgers, you'll LOVE these. My personal favorite is the Port & Stilton Burger.
