Handmade Friday

This Sunday is the start of Shark Week on the Discovery channel. I'm pretty excited about it, for as long as I can remember I've been watching Shark Week. I've mentioned before my fascination with sharks. It's a love/fear thing. I can't not watch specials on them and I sit terrified at the same time. Once I was playing a video game (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time if you must know) and there was a shark in the game you had to swim past and I kinda freaked out. It's at that level of fear...like I can't be in a pool and not think about sharks. Thanks Jaws.

Anyway, Isn't this necklace awesome? I love it. It's from Crave Jewelry Design. If you're my husband and you happen to be reading this you should get this for me (oh and I love you!).

Have a great weekend and Happy Shark Week!

My how you've grown!

 Here's the latest version of the art gallery in my office:

It's come a long way. First in the old apartment and even since we moved here. I think I'm done, barring the ceiling I don't have anywhere else to go with it.

So, I'm buying a house...

We found a house in L.A. and since B's work is based there it makes sense to buy a house there. We found the perfect one...

 Oh did I mention that it's $3.6. Million? Oh and it's most likely to be in a bidding war. Oh AND it's Marilyn Monroe's house, you know the one she died in...


Like most people I'm a little obsessed with her and I've always been intrigued by this house. I'd love to just tour it, I suppose the photos will have to do.

That bathroom is amazing, something about that arch over the shower really takes my breath away. Take a look at the house and the listing.

My second choice is Jonathan Adler's Shelter Island house which is also for sale. This one is only $1.6 Million...

Listen, if anyone wants to chip in a few million I'll gladly let you stay there a few nights.
