Eagle Rock Music Festival

Last Saturday, Oct. 2nd, was the 12th annual Eagle Rock Music Festival! Put on by The Center For The Arts, I was excited to see the whole community get together for this big event. I got to sneak away from the shop for a few hours to see what was happening! Streets were filled with happy people *-*

Pearls + Bow ... oh my!

My good friend, Patricia, is getting married on Nov. 13th in San Francisco. She's wearing an elegant strapless dress and wanted a show stopping necklace! She loves bows (as I love stars) and was excited when I found this vintage 80's gold bow shoe clip (remember those?) Anyways, that got mixed with 2 sizes of pearls and Swarvoski crystals sprinkled in between ... and voila! I'm sad that I won't be able to make it to her wedding and can't wait to see the photos & the happy couple soon *-*

Congrats to Patricia + Juan! xoxo

my shop

Leanna Lin's Wonderland is NOW OPEN!

I've been dreaming of the perfect shop to showcase great design + art for a while now! Thinking and re-thinking of how this space will look ... AND THEN, all of a sudden ... things happen when you least expect it! The space next to my favorite Eagle Rock clothing boutique, Lily Simone, became available and was calling my name *-* With the help of my amazing family and friends (you know who you are :), we pulled it together in 2 months.

Leanna Lin’s WONDERLAND is a playful jewelry studio/shop/art gallery inspired by modern + retro designs, where you can use your imagination to create your own beaded jewelry!

I now also have the perfect place for me to work on my own jewelry collections and showcase them *-*

I ♥ Axel Honey!

I've been following Axel Honey for several years now!

I first met Melissa Contreras of Axel Honey at a Bazaar Bizarre event that we both did in 2006. I custom ordered 2 figurines & have been a collector since! (check out my cuties below)

Axel Honey has shown her work in several galleries + boutiques over the years & will be featuring the above dog-inspired art in a group show called "A Mute of Hounds". This show will benefit the Downtown Dog Rescue. Dog Lover!? I am *-* Check out her work + several other talented artists at the OPENING: next saturday, June 12th, 6-9pm

Gallery Meltdown / 7522 West Sunset Blvd / LA, CA 90046 / June 12-26th

Melissa is an amazing talent of many mediums: art, sculpture & her new passion ~ jewelry inspired by her illustrations! Whenever I see her work, it makes me smile :) All the fun colors, whimsy + cute animals! You can buy Axel Honey jewelry on Etsy and Accents in Santa Monica (where she learned her craft from owner Steven Hanna).

But wait ... there's more on this super sweet artist! She's illustrated a children's book, Butterfly's Circus and is featured new book, Sweet Illustration (on my wish list)! Also, check out her cute tee collaboration with Poketo *-*
