What can I say I love polka dots.

I love that feeling of putting on a dress that used to be a little snug to now a little loose. It was such a great feeling and will defiantly keep me motivated to going to the gym when I don't want to. Because I know the work I am doing is actually starting to make a difference and it feels uh mazing.


I also wish it wasn't so hot out so I could wear this beanie every day to hide these ugly roots. But I must wait till next Friday to get them fixed up and gone.

This lovely beanie that I do wear when it's not so hot out I got from the lovely Miss Susannah Bean . Her shop is on vacation right now but when she comes back you should defiantly snag one of her hand knitted slouchy beanies.



Also today this pretty little dress from Modcloth arrived on my door step and just in time for my weekend trip to Walla walla, Washington to visit my moms mom. It has a very light airy feeling great for the hot weather were supposed to get there. I have a feeling I will be wearing it a lot this summer.



Do you have a favorite summer dress you always want to wear for days and days?

I hope you all have a lovely summer evening.

I think I am in love.

With Rachel Ashwell's new B & B The Prairie It's located in Texas she has 5 options for you to stay in but my favorite one would have to be the Liliput lodge












Then there is the Meadow manor.












Ok are you in love yet? I think me and Rachel ashwell need to become great friends and we can go to flea markets and when I buy a cute house she can help me decorate. Yeah that should happen. But I would just love LOVE to visit someday, I got to thinking how it would be a fun 25th birthday get away maybe. I've never been to Texas but I think it would be fun adventure.

Anywhoo I think two blog post in one day is enough :) enjoy the rest of your day lovelies.

The day Autumn got her ears pierced.

Yep yesterday I felt like Autumn become a big girl. I swear every time I see her she seems bigger to me, she's talking up a storm. When I went over to my sisters yesterday to check out her ears the first thing I hear when I walk in the door is her sweet little voice say " Auntie I got muh ears pierced and it only hurt wittle bit". While showing me with her fingers what a wittle bit was. It was the cutest thing every time she says auntie I missed you it just melts my heart. And in January she's going to be three years old how did that happen? where did the time go? I feel like it was just yesterday I was packing my sisters bags for the hospital because autumn decided to come early. And my mom was freaking out because she was trying to rush home from a business trip to get there before miss autumn was born. Boy does time fly by.





Yesterday me and my sister were talking about how we should take one day a week to take a day trip somewhere. So I am excited about that. The first trip we are going to take is a day beach trip maybe this week, were still working on it to see if my Grandma and grandpa can be free for the day if we came down. I've been missing the oregon coast real bad lately. Hopefully we can have our family beach trip soon before my brother starts his first year of collage in September. And I want to document more of the vacations with my real camera a little less instragram photos that's my goal. What about you guys do you have any fun summer vacation plans?

A little hello.

Well hello there lovelies, How have you all been lately? Im doing pretty well myself. I've just been enjoying this lovely summer weather with miss autumn lately. And getting ready for a mini road trip with my momma this weekend to walla walla washington to visit her momma. I haven't seen her in years and either has my mom so I am pretty excited. I am also looking into any antique or thrift places on our way up so we can hit those and see if we find any treasures. Also lately I've been loving the photo app on the iphone called cross process. It takes some pretty neeto pictures if you ask me. I took a few on my way home yesterday.


Miss autumn loves her smoothies. Every time we make a Starbucks run she makes sure she asks for a "mooey" Her way of saying smoothie, cute right?

I was going through old pictures the other day and came across this film from my dad's first Christmas in 1962. I really want to get this put on to a dvd and see my daddy as a baby. I am not sure where to get this put on to a dvd, but I am nervous since this is the only one and I am so paranoid they will ruin it or something and then I wont have it anymore. Has anyone ever got older film put on to a dvd before and where did you go?




I always wonder what this area used to look like it must of been happening at one point in time. Now its just abandon car dealerships and a wendy's that is no longer in business. The only places that are in business on this strip are two strip clubs. and a gas station.



But there is one part of this drive I do like this little road that's just so pretty with all the trees and on one side of the road you can see this little park I've only been there once but I think I need to re visit it one day with miss autumn.

So a few days ago we had a family dinner at my grandpa's house he lives in the cutest historic area of oregon city. We had a yummy dinner in his backyard then headed over to the park across the street to play I made this little video for fun. And added some music I haven't used imovie so I plan to get better at this.

I love his house, I believe he said it was built in 1918. I keep meaning to walk around the neighborhood and take pictures of all the historic houses. Maybe I'll do that soon the houses are just adorable. My gorgeous blue victorian is in that neighborhood which I talked about here
She's so dreamy.



Do any of you have a dream house you've spotted in real life or a movie that you would love to live in one day?

Thrifty Thursday.

Today was one of those really good thrifting days. It was a perfect sunny day not to hot with a breeze, and a yummy iced coffee in hand. I was ready to go out and find some treasures. So here are some snap shots from my day along with my pretty finds.














I Just love my hometown. Got this cute little pop up card at tender loving empire the other day.









Every time I go into the sellwood neighborhood which is where my favorite antique mall is I just want to move there.I almost did move there but the house I wanted the lady ended up deciding to not rent it out. But I am only 1 mile from sellwood so it's just a hop skip and a jump to get over there.


My street is kind of pretty :)

Miss autumn likes to leave toys and stuffed animals all over my house.


I knew Portland had a lot of food carts but I didn't know how many and so many that we need a book on it.


Today I also went to the book store to get some books that I've heard good things about and I wanted to get back into reading again. I used to read a book every few weeks sometimes once a week.


Also last Friday I was in Seattle for the pickwick show I had never seen them live before but have heard really good things. So I was really excited to dance my butt off during their show. Their music just makes you want to dance I have no moves whatsoever but at their shows you don't care if your dancing like a idiot because everyone is dancing. And you just cant help it. I thought I would share some videos from the night. I think I spotted my hand once in this video I was right in the front right by Galen (Lead singer of pickwick)

Are you dancing yet? I know I am just listening to them while writing this. There was also a tom petty cover band the american girls who opened who were really good. Danced and sang along to some of my favorites american girl, brake down and don't come around here no more. Anywhoo that was my day and a little good music for you to check out you can also go to pickwick's band camp to buy their music. DO IT just do it!

Weekend getaway: Seattle

Right now I am relaxing eating my yummy chocolate cupcake with maple buttercream frosting with a side of stella beer. It's really hitting the spot. Anywhoo, This past weekend I got to get away to Seattle to have some down time which I needed I feel like I am always go go go. So it was perfect timing. It was all about thrifting, pretty weather, and a really good show. I noticed while on my trip I need to take out my camera more here I have this great camera and I keep using instagram cause I love it so much but I feel like that's all I have been using lately. Here are the photos I snapped while I was there.


On my drive up. It was a good drive very little traffic. And listened to lots of good music with tons of sunshine.






I got to wear my cute dress from Tami of Dear whimsy. We stopped at Matador for some good tacos and the best margaritas.



Lori's roommate made the yummiest breakfast bowls and I had my first bialetti coffee experience it was super yummy. I think I need to buy one like now.



Also their house is all kinds of adorable.




After a day of thrifting a cold beer and burgers was just what we needed.


Sunday night's Seattle has these bonfire's on the beach with local bands playing. We made some sweet tea vodka lemonade to take with us. I wanted to do that every night it was so relaxing. I sadly don't remember the two bands that played but I do know that they were really good.


My purchase from Bryan John Appleby's CD release show. Which was amazing i've had it on repeat since the show. If you can get a chance to see him don't think about it just go.

And tomorrow I will be going back up to Seattle for a show.Then Saturday myself and Lori will be coming back down to Portlandia for the rest of the weekend to do some thrifting,lush shopping ( I finally have ran out of my stash. I never thought id see the day), and of course there will be Waffle window. But back to the show I will be seeing, they are from Seattle and go by the name pickwick and just let me show you a few videos they will blow your mind.
