Another week of insanity, in the best of ways… for the most part! Ironically, after my extensive safety note about these fringe lights, we had our own little fire scare here! No fringe lights were involved! I did a bit of temporary furniture moving for a photo shoot and it seems picnic blankets and hot light bulbs don’t get along too well. Let’s just say the LAFD responds quickly, but in excess. Six trucks for a little smoke! How’s that for a Thursday night!? Anyway, the rest of this week was filled with lots of DIY projects and prep, and a special feature on Ruffled! See those bindle favors below? That’s a little something I whipped up for this stunning shoot, but more on that next week. For now, have a great week everyone! It’s sure to be a busy one here!
