I generally love Southern CA weather but one thing I do not look forward to are the Santa Ana winds. The hot, dry wind drives me crazy! I hate the feeling of hot dry wind on my skin and my allergies start to act up. Yet on Saturday, in the midst of Santa Ana wind craziness, I found my apartment complex littered with branches--branches of every shape and length. I went to town while walking the dog and picked up almost every branch I could find because they were just so darn sculptural and pretty (I'd actually like to learn the names of the plants and trees I see every day at some point but for now I will call them trees and plants).

| I'm loving the curve of these branches. It's a little hard to tell but the vase the flowers are in used to be the base of a hookah pipe. |
 |
| There's always an occasion for fresh flowers! |
In other news-- although most people know by now--I'm moving to Los Angeles in the summer. I have lived in Orange County for the past 12 years so it's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time to think about the big move. I'll also be transitioning careers . . . there's lots of change going on in my life but I'm excited. Change is good.
Back to the branches . . . this find was EPICally awesome. I don't know what to do with it yet so it's on our porch for now.

| I got this broken garden pagoda top for free on Craigslist and I want to make a table top out of it. |

This blog could be called "Things on Tables, and Things I've Found in the Street". Here are some more lovely pics from the past few weeks . . .

| My mom used to display onions in the kitchen when they'd start to sprout so that inspired me. |

| Tired of regular Greek salad? Why not bake the ingredients? I'd cut the feta into smaller pieces. |
