Dress: Forever21 Belt: From another Dress Tights: Target Shoes: Bait Footwear Necklace: Tiffany's   Happy Monday! I have been eyeing this dress for quite some time and finally just gave in and said I needed to have it. and what I love most is that it was comfortable! I just got these shoes and they called the Edie shoe which reminds me of Gray Gardens.  I've seen the play, movie and the documentary (a teeny bit obsessed) Gray Gardens is about a mother and daughter who live in this grand house and eventually it turned into a hoarder house filled with cats. Little Edie is the daughter who performed off Broadway when her mom passed away but was forever glamourous and extremely dramatic.  Now I want to watch the movie all over again. What are you up to this Monday? ...
Here are a few peaks of inside my studio.  I have grown to love my little work space- it's has little things that inspire me like photos, thrifting treasures, old love notes from Tim, lots of postcards of paintings that I have visited and just lots of momentos of memories I love to revisit.  Even though it's not the most organized or perfect place- it's all mine- a place where I can make ideas.   It's a small space but special and my very own. I forgot that once summer starts- the art season starts with shows, auctions, and different things that start happening! It's exciting but terribly busy.  What are you up to this Thursday? ...
I am still loving instagram- it seems like a cell phone is sooo much easier then carrying around a DSLR especially with a busy little 11 month old. What I love most is that I have met so many friends with it, it's great seeing daily snapshots in someones life. Are you on instagram?   ...
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 This year is Tim's very first father's day.  You only have the first one time and I have been thinking about trying to find him a special gift and make the day a memorable one.  Growing up my dad would always take us fishing on father's day and wake us up at the crack off dawn. He would pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a big thermos of hot chocolate. I love being able to make new little memories and warms my heart just seeing how much she lights up for her daddy.  AND! Everyone needs a salami notepad right? What are you up to this weekend? This post is part of a promotion with  FamilySearch ....
It's been gray and rainy here the past couple of days but these are some bright beautiful flowers I noticed on my walk. Here is a peak at some of my favorites.  I have tried to grow flowers in my own yard but sadly nothing is sprouting yet-.  I have two pugs that have already eaten a few of the plants but hopefully there is still hope for the rest!  Have a wonderful Thursday. ...
I don't know about you, but I love waffles.  This is one of Portland's special places- The Waffle Window.  The made a little window on the side of a building and serve lots of fancy waffles.  There is always a big long line but trust me it's worth every minute.   Now I am thinking.. dreaming about a light fluffy amazing waffle with fresh thick whip cream and then topped with fresh strawberries.  Sounds amazing doesn't it?  The waffles served here are a Leige Sugar Waffles (it basically is a fancy name for a Belgium waffle).  I remember when I visited Belgium and I could smell the waffles from a block away. Now I need a waffle! Do you like waffles? The Waffle Window- 8X10 oil on wood....
