Hidden Treasures

AND DID I MENTION....
I finally got to check out HIDDEN TREASURES in Topanga Canyon??? It was the ultimate, greatest coincidence. I needed to meet up with a knitwear designer at the post office in Topanga near her home. I mean, I've always known that Hidden Treasures was in Topanga Canyon and I was pretty bummed out when I crossed things off my to-do list and Hidden Treasures was still left hanging there. If you clicked on the link, you'll notice that I forgot the name of the place and that I mistakenly thought it was in Tujunga (same shit, just another 'T' name). Anyway... I met the woman (who by the way was extremely chill) and I noticed that some feet away was HIDDEN TREASURES. What the heck?! I'm sorry if you're thinking "who gives a crap?" because you're not as easily amused as I am especially when vintage is involved. It's like each cute little vintage number has a story to tell and I'm definitely one for stories. Sadly, I walked out empty handed. I need to return there :)

this store couldn't have been a more perfect match. it's in the right neighborhood and being sold at a store with an awesome owner. she's really effing cool and i can't wait to do more business with her in the future.

Generally, shit has been looking up (some areas more than others). I went back to my friend who wanted to shoot the new products for Rue Electric since he offered to do so. I was going to use my friend and her boyfriend (dif from the initial shoot I did) except she's not available on the day of the shoot and I'm on a time crunch to shoot these babies and place them in the store just in time for holiday shopping. that's my plan! Anyway, I think I'm going create a story with the new stuff. To do so, I've got to do a little damage at BevMo (which I secretly do not mind). Ideas have been popping around my mind and it thrills me. I honestly don't know what truly motivated me to start Rue Electric, but whatever it was, I'm glad I did it because I've grown to love it like my baby love child. whatever that means.
