send something good link up


Send Something Good is a snail mail project hosted by bloggers Kaitlyn, Gentri and Kristy.  Many people (including myself) signed up to participate.  We were each given the name of a fellow participant/blogger.  You peruse their blog to see what they are into.  Then you send them box of goodies.  The best part is it's all kept hush hush.  I can't wait to receive a package from my secret blogger pal!  

Here's a list of my favorite things:
Lavender | The Ocean | Walks in the Woods | Feathers

Keys | Stamps | Found Photos | Piano Rolls

Stickers | Japanese Masking Tape | Stationery (obviously) | Pens

afternoon in astoria



My Mom and I spent the day in Astoria a few weeks ago.
We had lunch at Cecil's Trolley Stop on Pier 11.
We discovered Vintage Hardware in the old John Jacob Astor Hotel.
We also hit up Cargo and Lunar Boy Gallery.
I love these collages by Diane Jackson.

desert sabbatical: glitz and glamour


Last Saturday, I returned to overcast skies and hills of evergreens.  The extreme change in climate was quite a shock.  I'm still adjusting.  I thought I'd share one last batch of photos from Vegas.  Enjoy!

inspiration: vintage valentine's


I'm working on super cute valentines for the upcoming holiday.  I spent a couple hours browsing through vintage valentines on Flickr.  I had to share a few of my faves.  They are so ridiculous and adorable.
