My great friend and fantastic dance party dj, Omer Saar, just got a brand new website for his company, Lovely Day Wedding DJs. We were lucky to have him dj our wedding here in SE Michigan in 2008, even though he's based in Long Beach, CA. If you've got a special event in the Southern California area, I would highly recommend hiring him, and not just because he's my friend!
Omer is not your typical wedding dj, which is just what we wanted. He's brilliant at playing party tunes that get everyone, young and old, out onto the dance floor, and not just by playing the most popular hits. I can't believe how many people were cramming the dance floor consistently all night at our wedding. We still get comments about how much fun everyone had, and honestly, a lot of it's due to Omer.
Check out Lovely Day if you're in need of an outstanding wedding dj and a guaranteed party! Also on Facebook and Twitter.
Here's a fun little song that Omer tweeted about that instantly put me in a great mood today...
I've been really good about keeping up my goal of posting at least once a week... until now. I missed my post last week, not that it's a good excuse, because Pete and I took a trip out to the desert, driving between Las Vegas and LA and stopping at many places in between including Joshua Tree National Park. I plan on posting more pics soon, but for now here's a sun drenched photo of a teddy-bear cholla from the Cactus Garden in Joshua Tree...
I just love finding unique vintage items from the 50's and 60's, especially clothing or household items. I recently acquired some wonderful vintage items from my Great Grandmother Betty which makes them even more special to me. It's so nice to have her things around me to remind me of what a sweet and loving person she was, and what a fabulous style she had.
This is my Grandma Betty's mink-trimmed hat. I'm not usually one to wear fur, but this hat is so warm and made to last, that I'll make an exception in this case.
Also in the frame is a white leather ottoman. This piece doesn't really fit in with anything in my house, but I like it so much that I may have to redecorate in order to make it work.
I love turquoise, so I was immediately drawn to this bag, but there was also wonderful surprise waiting inside... a bowling ball!
Who knew a bowling ball bag could be so stylish?
These are the sweetest curtain holdbacks I've ever seen. I was even intrigued by them before I figured out what they were used for.
The quote says, "I'm not very experienced, but I'm willing to learn." This is totally going up in my studio space. It's a bit ironic now, but it's good to remind me of my roots. Plus the quirky baby image just makes me laugh.
