Best Friends Wedding

All the best things went wrong!

It was a beautiful sunny summer mid morning, when the wedding party was supposed to arrive at the historic church in Albany. Chris arrived in his tux for the 10am pictures only to be surprised to see the groom polishing his Mustang in his street clothes. Chris and I glanced at each other only to assume that there must be a good reason for the fresh wax. One hour and half later, the last groomsman arrives, the lights on the street and church are finally back on and the 3 tiered cake, after having been rescued by my sister from a close death to the floor, was now three individually one layered cakes. Pictures were taken, guests arrived and everything was wonderful. 

Did I mention the bride was glowing!!

This was my first adventure in making a bouquet of any kind. I was kind of proud of myself even if it took me over an hour. It had to be perfect for Jacqueline!

Jacqueline giving the flower girl the last minute instructions on her important role. This is of course how a teacher shows her students how to do something.

The were a perfect pair and kept each other company for 2 days.

Love and happiness to the bride and groom!

Mt Tabor Stair Crawl & Coffee

One day while eating a delicious lunch at Bakery Bar (yummy) with my dear friend Laurie, our conversation touched on the subject of exercise.  Laurie came up with a brilliant idea of meeting at the Mt. Tabor stairs a couple of early mornings each week to trot up them.

 One cold wet, wet early morning we enthusiastically began to jog up the stairs which quickly turned into a walk and then nearly a crawl for me! Laurie is in much better shape although she is nice enough to act like we are both hurting bad!

Last week we counted the stairs, 280 and we do this twice!

Laurie suggested we grab a cup of joe one morning and that gave birth to my idea of trying a new coffee shop once a week. What better way to try one of Portland's best pastimes than with a good friend after a morning of exercise.

Stumptown on Belmont was our first coffee shop. I am not a coffee critic but I will say yes, I enjoyed my latte and the atmosphere!

When in Portland, do what the Portlanders do, drink coffee.

No place like somewhere else

What inspired me to create a traveling theme window? The weather for one!! I can think of a million different places to be that would be less dreary than Oregon right now, but beautiful sunshine is right around the corner and we will all but forget about the wet and cold May we have been suffering with.

Two of my favorite sources, Jackie and Lynne had wonderful collections of globes and maps, perfect for what I was envisioning for the shop window and to stimulate my customers imagination about the far away places we sometimes get to see.

There is no place like home, most of the time!
