I just got back from little ol' Los Angeles and I am excited to say I had a successful visit. My original plan was to scout more vintage for the shop, but I happened to also visit a little hidden gem known as Topanga Canyon and the Getty Villa.

| Topanga Canyon...15 minutes from Santa Monica. |
Topanga Canyon is a small community of retired hippies, artists and some L.A. bigwigs. Surrounded by national park, but still 15 minutes away from Santa Monica and 8 minutes away from the beach, this place feels like an old L.A. secret. So it is no surprise that Topanga is the home of a well stocked vintage shop, called Hidden Treasures. I also got to visit a little shop that goes by Hill Billy Hip. This shop is slightly smaller, but still has some great stuff.
... and of course, I stopped by the Getty Villa... The Getty's smaller, more traditional, sister. The gallery was exhibiting ancient artifacts from the Byzantium period, the highlight was the jewelry :)
The quick trip was great but the whole purpose of the trip was to find vintage, and luckily I was able to haul back over 50 new pieces. I will be listing these new items in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime we will be having a 20% off everything sale in the shop. Sale starts today, June 1st and ends thru June 7th!
