Life // The MB

Ah, Manhattan Beach, or "the MB" as Corelyn has taken to calling it. I always feel so at peace here. It's not that far away from LA, but it certainly feels like it! Taco is once again our buddy for the week, which is fabulous. I've posted about him more than once, but hey, you can never post too many dog photos (or so I've learned from Maddie On Things). I'm spending my time finishing up a number of projects with him by my side, plus I get to enjoy solitary long jogs or power walks each day along the Strand (have to work off those macarons somehow...). It's pretty blissful. Here are some quick snapshots for the time being before I post some mega-entries next week!

Interview on Your Favorite Blend

You know what's brilliant? A blog dedicated to coffee! Your Favorite Blend is the creation of Kathryn and Amanda, two wonderful ladies who regularly post about life, java, and the things that inspire them. They share a series entitled The Coffee Table every Thursday - and I'm so honored because today they featured me!

This is the biggest DIY project I've tackled in awhile, but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out. Thank you to everyone who took part in drinking any of these bottles of wine - your efforts were not wasted! A giant thanks to George as well for painstakingly removing all of those labels. Also, if anyone ever wants to decoupage wine labels on anything, let's chat. I have tips!
