cool places in venice beach, CA.



These are images from Obsolete in venice beach.  The guys in the store said it was fine if I took photos.  I SO want this mad scientist apparatus.  It was thousands of dollars.  Look at their website for more great shots.  We actually ran into some artfesters at the Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica who told us we had to visit this place.  thanks to susan from boston and her sister.  speaking of The Urban Craft Center, we loved this place and want to come back and teach here.  The other place I loved down there was Strange Invisible Perfumes.  The dark skinned girl with freckles who helped me was adorable, unpretentious and extremely helpful in finding me a perfume.  All their fragrances are natural...nothing synthetic is used so when you get something with rose in it, you are getting true rose oil (something that is extremely good for balancing...I learned in my aromatherapy days).  I'll be back next time I come down that way.

  1. I'll make you a mad scientist apparatus for much less than that and I'll even connect the pieces in such a way that they make chemical sense.

  2. I love all the vignettes of Mary's house! What an interesting person she must be. Thanks for posting all the cool pictures for those of us who can't travel yet! Eight more days left of school for my boys.

  4. Oh, my. The Urban Craft Center looks wonderful and lots of fun. I also would kill (o.k., maybe not kill) for that mad scientist apparatus. I wonder where they got such a thing?

  5. Teesha,
    Good to see you and Tracy on Saturday! The Urban Craft Center is a GREAT place to teach. They have tons of space and room and it's very very comfy. Everything you need is right there. Plus they sell very cool goodies. There are lots of fun things to do and see and eat in the neighborhood, too.
