My birthday is this weekend. Im not yet sure what is in the works for the day but it will probably be low key and involve hanging out with Dave, possibly driving to Sauvie Island or the coast.&...
After several years of living in Northeast Portland, Dave and I made the leap across the river last month to Northwest Portland. We are lucky to have found a wonderful apartment with lots of Vi...
A few weeks ago, I sort of started dreading writing a long life update here that might have felt (more) owed in part because of the amount of time that has passed since my last post. Checking ...
A few vintage treasures I have my eye on, via Eden.
A few photos from the past month or so, taken around town (and my studio) with Instagram. January slipped by so quickly! It feels like I just worked and worked and worked and did very lit...
Im really sick right now, for the first time this year (and, come to think of it, for the first time in quite awhile before-hand.) Im dosing up on vitamins, bracing for the work-week ahead, and catal...
A few photos taken in the earlier part of January. Sorry to be a little quiet around these parts - Im working away on jewelry and between that, my real job and trying to get out occasionally, t...
Photo taken by Dave sometime during the late afternoon on 1-1-2011. 2011 was a pretty good year for me. I took a huge risk and quit a job that was destroying my soul, draining my energy and cau...
I told myself I would hold off on getting myself anything for Christmas this year (normally, if I buy anything for me around the holidays, its pretty small) but yesterday, I ended up making two littl...
Some more recent photos via my Instagram. Ive been working a lot lately in anticipation of taking a week off to go home to Colorado for Christmas. Im so, so, so excited! Sunshine on...
Im in a bit of a cart-before-the-horse situation. I wrote a few weeks ago about a vintage kimono Id just bought with the intention of wearing around the house as a robe. The only issue is...
Dave just sent me a link to this site which features a collection of images taken by Stanley Kubrick during his time as a Look Magazine photographer during the 1940s and before he became a famous fil...

I first saw this photo of Eleonora Carisi earlier this week via Mr. Newton. Every fashion week, there is usually a sheer blouse or two that goes down the runway on a bra-less model...

Some photos from my life lately... Ive been quite busy, but looking at these, you probably wouldnt know it. These are all from my Instagram feed, which you can follow right here. Pumpkins...
Whoops - this is a little late, but I composed a guest post for my friend Jens blog, Honey Kennedy a couple of weeks ago. Earlier this year, Jen connected me with my current job (which I love!)...
I am so pleased and excited to finally be able to share these photos from the Eden Fall Look Book! Eden is the shop in Portland where I work as a blogger and shop girl. To coincide with o...
Here are a few photos from a project I helped work on last week. The shop I blog for, Eden shot a fall lookbook in the Washington woods. Im completely blown away by these first "sneak...
After a laughably too-long period of time that involved tinkering, re-working, photographing, hours of procrastinating, reading not enough blogs, eating too much ice cream and watching countless seas...
One of my favorite things right now: a vintage vermeil and silver Turkish ring, set with ruby and emerald colored czs. I got to wear this piece during the Eden Look Book photo shoot. Id a...
One vintage 1940s coral beaded gown and one vintage 1940s floral patterned silk kimono. I like to think that each were worn in their time by two equally glamorous women who just happened to liv...
Dave and I spent the weekend in Seattle for the wedding of a few lovely friends and managed to do a little sight-seeing before catching our train home to Portland. We had a splendid time althou...
Today Portland experienced the first heavy rainfall of the season. With as much jewelry work (among other crafting projects) I have slated for the next few months, the damp, cloudy weather will be an...
How cool is this video of a century of style in East London? While watching it, I found myself thinking, "I would wear that!" with a fair share of the outfits and "definitely not" on ...
Apologies for my undue absence as of late. My days have been busy lately between working at Eden and Flutter, tending to my boyfriend Dave as he heals from a bike accident, and making lots and ...
Check out my tutorial for a 1930s-style manicure here on the Eden blog.
Im enamored with these tea bowls from the 1920s. Designed for Uzbeki horsemen to carry in their saddlebags, these were traditionally used as tea receptacles. I think I would keep jewelry ...
