good deeds ~ LA blogger meetup

what's better than sharing all sorts of ideas for making the world a better place? 
actually making the world a better place together

today i bring you some news that i'm super excited about!
brandi {from not your average ordinary} and i are teaming up to put good deeds into action.
on june 4, we will be hosting a bake sale for charity here in los angeles, and everyone is invited!
of course i know many of you don't live nearby, which is totally sad! you will be missed, but
maybe you can host a charity blogger meetup in your neck of the woods?...

more details to follow soon, but for now,
we need your help with one thing: finding a location.

here's what we are looking for:
- a gallery, cute shop, or cafe that has some extra space for a table full of treats.
- a location that would be happy to give us permission to host our bake sale on their property
{owning or knowing an owner of a gallery/shop is preferred}.
- a location in the LA area that is well-known, easy to get to, and has a lot of foot traffic
{examples: silver lake, santa monica, los feliz, etc.}.

if you know of a location that sounds like this, please contact brandi or me, either in the comments or by email.

my email: fillyourwell{at}gmail.com
brandi's email: brandi{at}notyouraverageordinary.com


thank you so much for any and all of your help!
this is going to be such a fun opportunity for us to get together and make the world a better place.
i can't wait!

  1. sounds like fun, but a bit far away. I will be thinking of you, and probably have a piece of cake myself (it's on my birthday). Hope it will turn out great.

  5. You girls are awesome. I adore you and if I were anywhere nearby, I would so be baking loads of cookies to sell! I can't wait to hear all about it. I've no doubt it will be a hit, and raise lots of money for a good cause.

    As for blogger meet-ups, can't wait for Brandi to be here in Victoria at the beginning of July, and for you and I to organize a meet-up of our own at the end of July! I haven't been to Seattle in years, but for you... I'll figure something out! Let's start planning.

  6. I don't live in LA, but Abbot Kinney Blvd might be a good place to look! There is a cluster of boutiques, cafes, galleries, and vintage furniture and antiques to choose from. It was one of my favorite areas when we stayed in Venice.

  23. How I wish Kuala Lumpur-LA is just a stone's throw away.. :)
    Anyways, have fun ladies !!

  24. oooh this sounds like such a fab idea, wish I could be there! I will try to think of LA spots, but Silverlake sound kinda perfect, maybe just visiting and asking random places might work.

  25. Hmmmm...I saw that Gratitude on Larchmont was mentioned. I've not been there, yet (it's probably only a mile or two from my apt) but this sounds like a good fit!

    I'm not much of a baker...and I'm vegan, but vegan baking might be something worth looking into. ;)

    Oh...another place I just thought of...The Oaks Gourmet. It's a Franklin Village location. Borders Los Feliz. A local hot spot...very casual, very cool people.
