Tavin is falling into fall...

fall is on my mind -purples and rusts some browns leaves in my mind all the time now


part of the window poem- farm country and winter wools above poem is longer and more lovely
its your indie ralph lauren girl- oh im so happy with how the window came out and look at her beautiful head and hair!! i love the xmas windows at bendels-who doesnt?
this is small and fits me -painfull to say bye to it-letting go is really hardi could lie in a bed and look at these things for a long time-prettiness personified i think and blue

model looks like she is in a general store in vermont-where you could by pajamas and lysol and perfume and warm sox and local hiking tips book...oh and milk

hi im just gonna walk out of this window and go somewhere where the leaves are falling and fireplaces are crackling and take a long country walk.....

i guess one can keep looking at leather -i guess

SPEND A GREAT DAY IN ECHO PARK
CHECK OUT OUR HOOD!


Echo Park is where urban life & nature call a truce. The peeking views of downtown L.A make the park seem years away in this hidden oasis.


ECHO PARK LAKE



The island in the middle of the lake serves as a bird conservatory creating a
beautiful habitat for animals, plants, and people.



ECHO PARK FARMERS MARKET


Organic & locally grown produce are available every Friday from 3pm until 7pm. The selection ranges from fruits, vegetable, plants, flowers, herb, to even artisan crafts.


HEALTH READY


Hidden behind sunset carrots & red unions are sold at reasonable prices.


KEEPING THE NEIGHBORHOOD GREEN


Organic pinto beans, nuts, & wheat grass are sold at the market as well.


JAZZ & COFFEE


Echo Park is a local & laid back neighborhood full of great coffee shops.
Artists & writers gathered at these to have a cup & exchange ideas.


FANTASTICALLY FLAVORED


One of our favorite chill spots--"FIX" hosts a tempting selection of gelato --a must have in the east LA heat...
Its fun to watch locals enjoy pastries while glancing over their newspapers & laptops.



A SWEET PLACE FOR A PIT STOP


Delilah's is an adorable shop where the cupcakes are homemade & irresistible. The bakery has warm atmosphere with its yellow outside patio & welcoming flowers.




THROUGH THE TREES


Nestled up the hill from TAVIN lies the serene Elysian Park. We love to hang on the
grass or under the forgiving shade of the trees. There are picnic tables, playgrounds, & a places for a afternoon barbecue with friends and family.


IN BLOOM


Bouganvilla grow along Echo Park Ave.



THE BEAUTY WITHIN TAVIN.............


TAVIN is one of several shops along the street to offer passersby a comfy place to sit & relax.


NATURAL INSPIRATION
