I love to window shop on the internet, in fact I might be an addict. I can go for hours and will only stop when my back hurts and my ass aches. Its especially bad when I have a special event on the horizon. In this case that special occasion is the opening of the new Sun Liquor Bar & Distillery. I'll probably be there from noon to night (hence the flats) and I would like to dress to impress. And if I'm being honest, once I saw the dress it was all over for me. I am in deep want with that dress.


Dress: Anthropologie, Tights: Hansel from Basel (they have amazing tights!), Cardigan: J.Crew, Oxfords: Steve Madden, Purse: Mod Cloth, Watch: Urban.

Hello Sunshine

Stitch, stitch, stitch.

This time next week...

This time next week I will be in the Hollywood Hills. Well actually I will probably be waiting for my luggage at the Burbank airport, having just landed around ten to nine. I will have left my life as a shop girl behind me. When I land back in Seattle Sunday afternoon I will start a new day to day. Its freeing and paralyzing. I plan to use the extra time well. Babysitting, house painting, book reading, and of course embroidering. Oh yeah, and working a little bit here and there. Change is good. Right?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow! Tomorrow.

Road Trips are Magic

Our recent road trip to Oregon was full to overflowing. The sun turned my skin brown, we wore our swimming suits all the time and we almost forgot there was such a thing as work. Life east of the mountains is the life for us. My head is still in a higher elevation and its going to take me a week or so to piece it all together. There will be more to come.

Seattle, Summer looks good on you.

This summer my tan line moved up my legs, my freckles are in full effect and we've got so much more sun in our future. Family camps & VW adventures. We're going to follow the sun, find the heat and wear our sunglasses all of the time. Its time for a vacation!!
