the portland connection...day 2

 portland visit day 2...

we headed out to visit some of portland's thrift shops...
and as usual  portland didn't disappoint ...

how perfect a vintage suitcase to carry home the vintage slide case, rolodex, lamp, coffee sack and model T headlamp.  yes, they'll be heading to the shop soon.

another delicious find for lunch,  they had great atmosphere & food...annoyingly poor choice in music

 

  the montage restaurant

a little extra bonus, thursay was 1st thursday and many of the galleries held openings

there were so many talented artists, each with their own unique style...here's just a few to enjoy 

an amazing piece...all these words and phrases were sewn on paper

and here's a little video i took to wrap up the evening...enjoy!

hope your having a wonderful week too!

etsy finds for lisa

lisa.. the ultra talented force behind Portland Child Photography just happens (luckily) to be my daughter in law. among other talents, she is also a dedicated runner. lisa had a birthday awhile back and I thought I'd surprise her and dedicate an etsy treasury to her.

a spot for an etsy treasury is becoming harder and harder to grab and publish as so many people are waiting to create one. a way for me to use some creative energy and also highlight a few of my favorites among the many talented people on etsy. i really enjoy making them!

well..I finally managed to get one! as luck would have it...lisa is on vacation, away from all means of modern contact...yup... think deserted island .....{sun, sand, water}

so..we will all have to enjoy this treasury for her.. until she returns to this cruel, cruel world..

take a peek...you might also enjoy visiting all the wonderful sellers on this treasury..

as this treasury disappears from etsy in a few days i have included links below
bestartstudios2, heidiburton, motomoto,
laurasgeorge, ethanollie, vintagevendor
doghoundblues, shanon1972, jcparkerfineart
minitoes, fabrichouse, gleancreativereuse

Oh..and you do not want to miss lisa's photography here

now..lisa aren't you sorry you missed this :)

Woot! Toot!

some times something happens to make you just want to shout out!

if you work online... you know the feeling...
sitting in front of the computer working away all day...

you wonder..is there anyone out there?.. anyone?.. anywhere?

you write..you search..you seek..
then suddenly...bleep..what's that...was it...it was..

solsticehome's vintage item is featured on

The Storque {Etsy finds Vintage: The Art of Display}

1920's Laundry Pak Suitcase

So yes, I am wooting & tooting this & thank you Alison for being there
