My Two Pence

About MY TWO PENCE

My Two Pence is something of a Field Guide. It's down to earth, but all over the place, blog that gives spotlights to interesting independent craftsman, great films, and trends in skincare and beauty. You'll also find the sporadic snobby post on herbalism, urban gardening and happenings around Los Angeles.
