project saturday.

HOWDY DO!

i was lucky enough to have my saturday off today. :) no work...all play. it has been a beautiful sunny day and i didn't want it to go to waste. soooo, i decided to declare today, 'project saturday.' 

we have an area in downtown LA that is ohhh so nasty and ohhh so trashy, it's beautiful. it's known as the fashion district and everything is dirt cheap. which is the very reason i go there at least once a week. you would be amazed at the things you could find there. seriously, a store for every piece of a piece you could think of. it's really similar to china town in NY but, a little more raw. there are tons of factories and sweatshops near by and FIDM, the fashion school so, it is quite convenient to have in the area. you name it, cheap fabric stores, bead stores, button stores, shoe stores, sunglass stores, luggage stores, blah blah blah, the list goes on. anywayzzz... i have been meaning to make a special earring for me and my roomie for quite sometime, and just haven't gotten around to doing so. well, today was the day. i went to the feather store (yes, i said it), there is a store devoted solely to feathers called Mother Pluckers, followed by the beads and trimming shop, got my goods, came home and got to work! in about 20 minutes i came up with my new original BIG ORANGE feather earring. :) a little premature for football season, but enough to get me excited for gamedays this fall! go me. go vols.

VOILA! it's quite a joy. take a gander!
