2nd Annual Unique LA Summer Show

Hello all and happy Tuesday! We had a great weekend at the 2nd Annual Unique LA Summer show and feel so energized, inspired, excited. Our weekend in Santa Monica was full of creativity. From the designers to the artisanal food, each part of Unique LA was nothing short of stellar. The Unique crew really know how to gather the best and cultivate a community. It is always an honor and joy to be part of it.

Here are a few snaps from the show.

Help Ink is one of my favorite print/stationery brands. Their art is positive and portions of each piece go towards charity.

Tiny Whales.

Z Confections has the best chocolate sauce. It is spoon licking goodness.

Love Nail Tree's booth is always a favorite.

A new favorite stationery of mine is Shimmer Kai. Their cool colors and relaxed vibe are oh so Southern California.

One of my standard favorite stationery/paper goods brands is Sass & Peril.

Their DIY screen printed postcard station was interactive genius! I had a lot of fun learning the craft and screen printing my very own postcard.

PUTIKMADE earthen ware. Clean, modern, good.

Jewel-toned clutches by R. Pellicer.

Fun illustrations by Fluent Flyers.

And my boothmate: le bon garcon. Justin crafts the most amazing caramels that smoothly melt in your mouth. They are like little drops of heaven and I highly suggest them!!

The view from my booth. The Barker Hangar has massive height and when the doors are open, natural light rushes in. I loved the energy of the building and the crowd.

Right at the border of the open doors was the Toyota interactive space. There was a killer DIY table, fun in-car photo booth, free massage station, and on the spot screen printed t-shirts. Mom and I happy with some new tees. The CA dream catcher and LA heart designs are so perfect for the show.

And now: the honey my heart table. The color scheme was neutral and bright.

My bro is the top salesman.

 

 Hubs and I round out the honey my heart crew.

We met plenty of awesome shoppers through out the weekend, and fell in love with Mark Kanemura! He's an amazing dancer (been on SYTYCD and is one of Lady Gaga's dancers) and the sweetest guy. We loved chatting with him and meeting his friends.

We also loved the #ToyotaGiving campaign. Each tweet brought a $2 donation to a local charity. Our board said, "I will... buy local and love it (honey)!"

And this is my Made in America haul: print and LA postcards by Fluent Flyers, heart print and CA postcard by sass & peril, onesie by Tiny Whales, LA top by kira kids, graphic tanks by Continuous, coral bangle by Voz, letterpress postcards by Just Vandy, Love Thy Neighbor card by Help Ink, 3 cards by Shimmer Kai, b/w tank by Suburban Riot.
