darlings
we went to silver lake last night and there was laughter and thai food take-out and candles, roses, tons of magazines and sparkly mineral water, scissors, glue and glaze.
yes!
we were doing Vision Boards.
wait!
don’t leave…….
vision boards are not only magical but Awfully Helpful in revealing what one might be looking for or about to arrive if only one would Stop long enough to see the train pull in and not run to the station ahead on the Line and see it leave.
yes, patience.
and gloriousness.
plus some of the Best people do such things, don’t you know.
and it IS Los Angeles – we must adhere to at least a few of the local customs.
they’re so delicious. 
yes.
lovely.
words+pictures = a new life.
just as we had hoped and wrote about the day-before-we-moved-back-to-this-Coast.
what we’re a little Perplexed By are the two old wooden doors to the left and the right of the image – the beautiful chap is definitely portrait photography (and a tiny bit reminiscent of a shot by Mr. Ritts which is an awfully good sign) – there are words/books/morebooks mentioned and a preponderance of satin and designer fragrances (on the right track already with both then) – there’s a chandelier (phew) and a 1930s Hollywood shot of Mr. Grant and the twinkling lights from over Mullholland Drive and our favo(u)rite place for tea (and christmas morning breakfasts) – chateau marmont
– but the Doors – are they of Perception?
“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.”
― Aldous Huxley
how exciting.
Vision Boards are indeed a Most Excellent, and powerful tools. Love yours!
I’m also a fan of the good old fashioned journal….unlined, of course. ;)

we Loved making that for you!
*waving* from 4D (fancy upgrade which we didn’t even ask for!) somewhere over chicago
The Rose in your first photo looks like a glorious comfortable bed that I would like to call my own. As for the doors; if it were my vision board, they would be there so I could make a quick exit! Or go to another room where I could change my vision. I am not very good at being pinned down.
*smiling*
love that.
doors to change perspective or rooms to dream in.
Ours are better than Oprah’s….just sayin’ xo
oooo, did you post yours on IG yet? *goingtolook*
such a delicious evening.
thanks ever so much
Oh what fun! I am going to try a vision board. Isn’t Silver Lake fun? My last night in L.A. we went with friends from Silver Lake to a fantastic Mexican Restaurant on East Sunset. I can’t for the life of me remember the name, but it was a great meal.
there are many fabulous Mexicans in Silver Lake.
some are restaurants tis true.
You have a way of saying things… witty! I love it.
*blush*
why thank you.
Vision boards – they are a creative person’s crystal ball non?
( not a misspell – I was saying it in a french accent.)
Yours is much better than pinterest.
you are most kind!
we’ve tried doing the Pin-thing but couldn’t Quite see the point….. http://pinterest.com/teamgloria/
do you have a board that we can see? always curious. in fact toujours curious.
No but homework is always good. – shall we follow the Summerhill school curriculum and I will present when the mood takes me? :)
*giggling*
we almost got sent to Summerhill ;-)
Some say I am mystic meg. I just channeled and got Summerhill! ;)
you are!
*shivers*
That quote was EXACTLY what I needed today. Thank you, teamgloria.
Aldous Huxley on a sunday always seems fitting….
PS. I was so taken by that quote that I forgot to mention that I did vision boards a few years back–if I can find them I will email a photo to who you are in RL (by the way did I mention that the first time I read that here I actually thought “Ralph Lauren?”–cringe-worthy but true…).
*giggling*
it’s meant to be IRL but when we started being all digitally-savvy it was the other version and we’re sticking to it.
yes please!
send pictures.
