Sweaters and Stumptown

It is September and Autumn is just settling in here in Oregon...and that means it's sweater weather! Fall here also means coffee season...not that we haven't all been drinking it all summer; it just gets extra good on a wet foggy morning.


Both J.Crew I would be happy with either...or both...


Banana Republic military cardigan. Wish it came in a charcoal...


Love this Cambridge Chain scarf from Yokoo. (thanks pam)

American Apparel Circle scarf...I think I need one in every color.


The classic rain-boot for the Portland rain...only this is Jimmy Choo's version of a Wellie.



All these cuddly clothes make me want to cuddle up with that amazing knit-ceramic mug and collapse with a cup of Stumptown in the lobby at the Ace. Oh Fall how I love thee!!



I suppose a wonderful backyard fireplace would do if my favorite coffee house wasn't open. Oregon is the perfect place to spend evenings outside...

Papergirl Portland

Papergirl #3 from Papergirl on Vimeo.

Papergirl is coming to Portland! Papergirl is a Berlin-based public art program that brings art to the masses 'in the style of American Paper-Boys, rolled art pieces are distributed by bicycle in the streets to random passers-by. Everyone can participate" Abraham of hoodturkey is bringing this event to Portland on October 18th. Contact him here to get involved. The deadline for art submission is coming up quick, September 14th! Donate some of your lovely work to make this project a success! All the art will premier on First Friday at Second Nature Gallery on October 1st before it is rolled up and handed out to the masses via bicycle delivery. I'm excited to contribute and, hopefully, help document the event with my camera.

What I'm Reading

I read this book a little while back, but enjoyed it so much, I just had to post about it! Food, blogging, and a little bit of a love story...what's not to love! The movie is great too. It just made me want to have a beautiful dinner party...if only I could cook better!! Being inspired by the book...I also 'just had' to include a few kitchen pieces I've had my eye on for a while...



Above, retro polka-dot apron, yellow timer, and a beautiful ceramic egg crate; all from Anthropologie.



I've always had my eye on this lovely copper pot with acorns from Williams-Sonoma. I picture making a big stew with fresh-from the garden veggies on a crisp fall day. If only I had a garden...

Paintings by Lisel Jane

I first saw Lisel Jane's work quite a while ago and just can't seem to forget it. Today I am sharing it with you :)







I am especially fond of the wood panels...beautiful! You can check them out here.

Ampersand Vintage

Earlier this August I attended a great little show at Ampersand Vintage on Alberta titled Out of the Booth. Ampersand has an amazing collection of vintage snapshots available for as little as $5. All of the images at this show are photo-booth enlargements from the Robert E. Jackson collection; one of the largest 'candid' collections in North America. Below are a few of my favorites.





While we were there, we also picked up a botanical print from the 18th century of a Marsh Marigold...beautiful! If you want an afternoon to treasure hunt through gobs of vintage snapshots and take in a few beautiful books, this is the place to stop!!

Pink Bullets

This video is nowhere near 'new'...but I love it anyways. From the wonderfully crafted paper cows, to their ever-expressive eyes, and the birds on the wire, it holds beauty. The Shins currently reside here in Portland and it seems their shows always sell out. What caught my eye about this great stop motion video is the director, Adam Bizanski. He created the video while serving as a guard for the Israeli Defense Force. He heard the song, decided he had the right idea for the video...pursued the band, and signed on to create it! He currently resides in Tel Aviv; what a great international collaboration! He has also directed videos for Guster, Arcade Fire, and many more...you can check out his work here.
