It’s been a whirlwind of activity with four pending sales in one week, which is fantastic but also exhausting. A trip to my beach house was exactly what I needed. Some downtime. A day or two to rest. Thinking that my weekend would be a rainy one, I had plans to do some creative projects […]
Ghost of the Saber Tooth Tiger @ the Woods
Last Friday night, we got the privilege of seeing the band, Ghost of the Saber Tooth Tiger at The Woods. The Woods is a fantastic, eclectic venue that is a funeral home turned concert hall, bar and lounge, nestled in the historic neighborhood of Sellwood! They even do bingo/bourbon nights! As unique as Portland itself, […]
Lake Oswego Streetcar Support
While most couples go out for cocktails and dinner on their anniversary, my husband and I headed to the Lakewood Center of the Arts to attend the open forum regarding the Lake Oswego Streetcar Project. We waited three hours so I could testify my support. It was well worth it and over eighty people stood […]
I spy little bird
During the holidays everyone calls and wants to dine, it really gets to be too much trying to fight the crowds, not to mention the calorie & wine intake! This year, I suggested to a few friends that we should go and celebrate in January instead. It is fun catching up after the holiday whirlwind and […]
“Troubles out of sight”
Listening to the Nutcracker Suite and dancing in my head, yes I use to dance on my tippy toes! Everyone have a “Merry Little Christmas” and may your “troubles be out of sight” for 2011! As I head to the beach cottage for New Years I will leave you ponder this photo and ask- Is it Sculpture or […]
Seattle Art Scene
You all know how much I love trains and one of my favorite trips is up to Seattle via Amtrak. It is time to relax and read, sip some wine and watch the scenery of fall colors pass by. Remember that freak fall day when it was 70 degrees out, well off I went to catch the […]
My birthday get-away, from the Columbia Gorge to Luxembourg!
I recently celebrated my birthday. It was a wonderful day full of adventure. One of the ways, I get my gardening/nature fix, is to get out into the wilderness of Oregon. What better backyard than our gorgeous state parks! I couldn’t think of a more fantastic venue for my birthday. To further illustrate my endless […]

Wine, dine and do some good for this worthy cause… Columbia Land Trust works to permanently conserve the natural resources of the Columbia River region. We […]
Summer Supper Club
This past Thursday we hosted a lovely supper club at my vintage Manzanita beach house… Images via Grace & Ivy I really love these events. There’s nothing like a table full of food, served family style, to inspire a true sense of community. This time around we did a pig roast and celebrated, friend and […]
Urban garden inspiration
I like to garden and get my hands dirty…it can truly be a creative experience – a zen moment. Although I may garden alone, sharing my garden with friends brings me much joy! Many of the people I meet, often feel attached to their large yard and this prevents them from downsizing. They may not […]
