Good morning friends. I do hope you all had a nice weekend. I’m writing to you now from my new home– I’m still somewhat surrounded in boxes but it feels damn good! No, the above image is not my new home, just a cozy little bit of decor inspiration brought to us by Ikea. (I know!)
This weekend was pretty intense for me with the move to my new house and the blogger potluck that I hosted at Compai Creative on Saturday Night. (If you are ever interested in attending our events, follow me on twitter— it’s the best way to keep up with all of our happenings. There is also an ‘events’ tab on the upper menu bar.)
I had a few requests from some of the pot luckers to link to the people’s blogs who were in attendance–so here’s the list. {I believe it’s complete. If I left you out (Sorry!) and leave a comment to let me know and I’ll add you.} Thanks again to everyone who rolled through. The food, vibe, and the chance to meet so many of you in person was amazing. (Promise to have name tags next time!)
I highly recommend checking out these folks. They (and their blogs) are truly special. (West Side Artists Represent!)

really LOVED the potluck! i realized that there are not many instances where people have the chance to meet new ppl/each other in such an intimate/non-intimidating way. would love to organize something like this again sometime~ maybe we could brainstorm something! :) thank you again so much for putting it together! oh, and thank you for the shout out!

@David, @Aireka, @Amy Thanks for coming through and for the comment here… love y’all for it!!
@Satsuki I am VERY interested in continuing (in whatever way I can) to help create a fun, supportive design community here in LA– so let’s do it! More events, more meet ups, more tweet ups and even just coffee!! I’m into it. Thanks for commenting! xxx
