The Silent Killer

The new TLO website is now live! Click through to see the complete photo series by Aimee along with an additional series by Yudi Ela. We'll be updating the site monthly with new albums by a variety of snap happy pals. The current set features a few peeks at what we're working on for Valentine's Day (including the above silky romper).

I've just come in from wandering aimlessly about for fresh air and to clear my foggy brains after a very reluctant wake-up revealed our kitties (I suspect Bobo) had, once again, jumped up on the stove top and turned the gas knob (a second time this week, perhaps serves me right for not doing anything about it the first go round)! I'm not sure how long it had been leaking but it was long enough that I felt very quite cozy in deep slumber at a much later hour than normal and have been nursing a headache since. Very naughty cats. I've taped the knobs but am not certain that will do the trick, will definitely be ordering some sort of child proof knob control in the very near future. If ever you don't hear from me for prolonged period of time know that I have likely drifted off into eternal sleep thanks to my murderous feline "friends" O_O.

I'm still in LA after extending my trip another week to really dig into beginning construction on our next collection. Little foggy-brained right now thanks to long hours and minimal amounts of sleep (was interrupted yesterday morning, my first sleep-in, by a cat licking plastic in the crib next to my air mattress and today by crowing roosters, tiny dogs and a noisy turtle, hehe). I've really enjoyed being at the shop, it's wonderful getting to know our customers and fascinating to see what they pick out (it seems Pasadena mums and I have very similar taste).  It can be a struggle though and on sleepy days like today I am tempted to run into the street and start frantically waving people into the store. So, dear Los Angeles friends, you've one week left to come into the shop and visit me and eat the ginger snaps I've put out (and have been eating steadily for the last three hours).

The pictures above are a little teaser from a shoot with my most beloved Californian friend, Aimee Brodeur. I cannot wait to share the complete story as she's truly outdone herself with this series, the lighting, cropping and colours are all absolute perfection. The full set will be released November 1st as we unveil a new section of our site which we hope to have function not unlike The Company of People once did.

Click through for a few new shots of the shop :D.

Yesterday was spent recovering from previous night's activities (Company exhibition was super! Saw loads of smiling faces that I've been missing on the east coast. I hope you enjoyed the show if you made it out!) and on the road to Arizona so I missed the opportunity to make this post on the proper date. That date being the celebration of birth of my beloved California companion and talented photographer Aimee Brodeur. Happy Birthday my beautiful friend, I hope it was a joyous occasion filled with delicious snacks, friends and possibly a bulldog puppy? I wish I could have been there to storm you with love and kisses! You've brought such joy to my life and I eagerly anticipate the day that sees us all in the same city again. You are an inspiration and a bright star. I wish you love, joy and many adventures in your new age!

I love you my Aimee.

(See Aimee's gorgeous photographs here.  Her photography is an adventure - a sumptuous feast for the eyes.)

days we spent in the sand

we spent yesterday eating a variety of cheese covered products, squatting in caves and poking squishy sea creatures on the rocks. i had intended to be equally productive/lively today but i seem to have put out my back during my one day ever of "vigorous" physical activity. i am an old lady.
