If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love a good bargain, so when Mahar Dry Goods (one my favorite online stores for children’s gifts) sent me an e-mail this morning announcing its first ever summer sale, I clicked through to the discounted stuff before I’d even wiped the sleep from my eyes.

Gotta love these animal silhouette cards.

They come as a set of 10 for a painless eight bucks and will be perfect thank-you cards for the birthday loot my daughter Viva is bound to acquire this month.

While you’re in the Mahar ‘hood, check out the blog, which just introduced me to a fantastic video of 250,000 superballs bouncing through San Francisco.

Check out the video here:

Reminded me of the time that my best childhood friend, Annabel Hertz, paid me a dollar to put a superball we found on the city’s Stanyan Street into my mouth. Those were the days.

I’ll post more L.A. adventures this week, along with the absolute best salad I’ve had this summer. Stay tuned!
