Zinc Outdoor Thermometer


Cute. Love it. From terrain.

::

Faded Floral Hottie


Yes it is a UK site but I still love it. Toast.

::

Dandelion Necklace


From the site Twig.

.... and then almost anything from buyolympia.com. And make some time to check out land located on North Mississippi Ave in Portland.

::

Local apple goodness can be had online at Wandering Aengus Ciderworks.



I recently went for a tasting of their wonderful cider up in the way out west hills location outside of Salem. I learned that their last tasting at this location is scheduled for next weekend (December 3rd & 4th) and I hear there will be a Groupon coming out that sounds wonderful. They are slated to have another tasting event in January (7th & 8th) at their new location in Salem. If you are unable to make it to the tastings and would like to try their cider (I <3 Bloom and Wanderlust) then purchase some online or locally at Lifesource Natural Foods.

Have fun.

The Swimmers


This could be a picture from my youth. A 13 x 19 print from local artist Lisa Golightly on her etsy site kikiandpolly.

Also peruse her website - kikiandpolly.com, where you could order a custom piece. I am partial to her line portraits.

More options.
More fun.

Enjoy.

I think I might have another sliver of pie. Ciao.
