my friend devon is my oldest friend. we were neighbors in newport then she moved to san juan and now to laguna beach. though i wish she still lived next door like when we were kids, i love visiting the beautiful spaces she and her interior decorator mom create. i remember first visiting their laguna beach house when it was gutted and there were dead rats under the floor boards (true story) but since, the house has become a beachside paradise. i am in love with the green accents and the cute little touches like the green nutcrackers in the kitchen and the stacks of books everywhere. everytime i visit, i am so inspired to be more creative and intensional with the spaces around me.
the sawdust festival is the place to be in the summer. it is an arts and crafts festival in laguna beach where all the local artists showcase their work in little handmade booths. it’s inspiring to just walk around and look at what people have created, both awesome and weird. the food there is also really good and i’ll go there just for the mediterranean veggie plate. its that good! there are also booths for great baked potatoes and sorbet. between the art and the food and the peaceful atmosphere, the sawdust festival is my favorite summer hangout
i’ve been friends with devon forever (like from birth forever). she is one of those girls i can always count on and though we don’t see each other that often, it is always epic when we do hang out. she just moved to laguna beach so we spent the day at a local beach, soaking up the sun and catching up. i kinda wish everyday was a beach day with devon. i sure do love this girl
- the crackle of old records
- freshly brewed tea
- days where i do absolutely nothing
- long talks with good friends
- the joy of reading old journals
- shavasana at the end of a yoga class
- finally picking up film from being developed
- the ocean at twilight
- quiet time with God
- the one lone blockbuster still open by my house
