A few weeks ago we were preparing for our quick camping trip to the beach and stopped in a local army surplus store for supplies. We saw a basket of these co...
We had the weirdest mix of weather this week, but Alex has been on break from school so we’ve been trying to soak up some outdoors time no matter what the weather gave us. Luckily Friday and Sa...
Not many words, just a couple photos from a walk on a beautiful Portland day. Unrelated. One of my favorite illustrators, Sandra Juto, is offering buy one get one on her prints t...
Earlier this week I helped Alex with the execution and documentation of a project for his Ideas & Form class. The project involved creating a public display of art and I have to say this was a m...
This weekend we took a break from our work to escape the city. We took a 30 minute drive east of the city to Angel’s Rest trail near Multnomah Falls. We made it about 3/4 through the trail befo...
About a year ago we bought this table at Value Village for $15. We painted it once and I repainted it again a couple weekends ago since we’re now using the table as a desk. It’s nice to h...
Prop styling is one of my favorite things. I love a stylist who uses different textures to frame a photo. These images are styled by Swedish stylist, Tina Hellberg. Simply beautiful! &n...
Alex was in classes all day on Tuesday so we celebrated our love on Wednesday. Our love ended up manifesting itself into this pretty little terrarium you see below. We stopped at Porch Light on Missi...
One of the shops we visited, Ink & Peat, has the most amazing natural light you could ask for. I couldn’t help but snap away with pictures while we were enjoying everything they had in sto...
Our weekend went a little like this. It was fun, productive, eye opening, amazing. We started the fun on Friday night with our friends Andrea and Mike. Dinner at Los Gorditos and our first real comed...
I love good mail days. A few days this last week I would look at the clock anxiously waiting for the mail man. I’m hoping for another piece of mail that should be coming my way soon; an accepta...
Lately I’ve been tricking my body and feeding it some pretty healthy goods. Some parts of my body seem to like it and other parts seem to still be making up their mind. In the morning I usually...
I’m realizing with my photo a day project that one of my most frequently photographed subjects are textures. Magnifying the details in common surroundings seems to catch my eye. These photos we...
We’re in the middle of the Portland winter season. Limited light and lots of moss growing outside of our home. I’m looking forward to the next few days of warmer temperatures and more sun...
Over the last few weeks I’ve been working (when time allowed) on a new design for LLSS. I wanted something more clean, sophisticated, and pleasing to the eye. I took a note from some of my favo...
After hearing a number of people talk about Schoolhouse Electric and their new showroom Alex and I took a couple hours out of our Sunday to explore. This place is exactly our cup of tea. Our expensiv...
I feel like this week has been a roller coaster and I’m not really sure why. Maybe the winter gray is getting to me or it’s just the stress of the unknown. I’m having ...
We’ve been having many quiet winter mornings around here. Morning fog, geese flying over, and puppy cuddles.
This past Saturday the only time I left the house was to take my car in for its’ oil change. While it was being lubed up (har har) I walk...
The Oregon side of the Columbia River.
Last week Alex and I made the decision to purchase a new Wacom tablet. We decided on the wireless Wacom Intuos4 and I’m super pleased with our decision! 2012 is going to be a real...
Hi Everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. I’ve been in my cave snuggled up in blankets trying to beat a cold. Thursday night Alex had the opening for his group show, Internal, at Hellion Gall...
I told my camera on my jog yesterday and took a few stops to capture the colors and textures in the arboretum behind our house. The arboretum is the best part of my run for two r...
Finding new healthy recipes to cook is always a challenge but necessary. We get tired of our go-to dinners and then we’re enticed to go out and eat something not so healthy. Last night I tried ...
Last night Alex wasn’t feeling well and we decided that it would be best if we stayed in and celebrated New Years at home. I made a stirfry, we had some champagne, listened to records, watched ...
My parents came for a visit to Portland in September but flew in through Seattle so we would have an excuse to check it out. We picked them up from the airport and went over to Pike Place Market. We ...
See ya later, 2011! Can’t wait to waste more time on instagram next year.
A lovely lady brought to my attention that my comments had stopped working. I’ve fixed the problem. THEN I had a minor melt down when I t...
If there ever were two babes with ultimate babe powers that could bring happiness, sunshine, love, and magical powers to the world over… it is Laetitia and LouLou. I’ve been following the...
