A Time for Transition - Late Summer

No longer working a 9-5 is magical...spending my time doing freelance work while enjoying these last bits of warm sun and new moments of crisp air. Michigan, Eastern Oregon,  love and friendships. Cherishing this time of rest after a long hard year of 60 hour work weeks. 

Gwen Frostic's inspiring home and letterpress studio in Benzonia, Michigan. 

Chalk pieces for Cat & Colby's big day. 

The time needed to make my house a home, just in time for chilly evenings and snuggles...

and Penny got a little home improvement as well. 

Blue and My Chalkboard ///

My old roommate gave me this old chalkboard when he moved out. It tends to depict everything that's going on in our livee at the moment.

...and be a really nice backdrop for my kitty Blue.

My Domestic Things///

Remember how I mentioned that Amanda took some shots of me as well?

Here are 3 of the 18 that she took in my house here in Portland. I haven't seen the rest!

This makes me realize I really need to do something with our vaulted wall. Don't you think?  We had a beautiful tent over our bed for a long time but it slowly fell apart so i took it down.  Maybe just a swath of fabric? A mural with some sort of text? What do you think?

A Very Thrifty Weekend

Spent some time shopping here in Portland this weekend and scored some awesome items for our house.

White tulip base table is now a record stand in my bedroom.

White director's chairs (there are technically 2).  For now it sits in my bedroom - but once the sun comes out it will sit in my backyard.

(Because I found a black vinyl vintage Steelcase chair to replace it!!!)
