philographics

I'm such a visual person. If I see it and understand it, it's committed to my memory and therefore part of my lens with which I understand and describe the world. Reading this article > Philosophy 101. Just sayin'. Genis Carreras wrote a novel titled Philographics; a few of the images posted below.

Would make for an interesting Jewelry Line....

from the ground up

Sharing the story of a newly built bar in Portland, Dig A Pony. Owned and operated by friends my age and made with love. With killer cornbread on the menu.

It's a great thing to be an age where the combination of time and resources allows you to build things from inception to final form. Bravo!

this is special

Tid-Bits

Is everyone on vacation right now? Trying to make doctors appointments, meeting requests, and random errands has never been so tough. Maybe I should quit trying and spend every waking minute cooling off at the river. 

I've collected a few images on my work computer that, in no particular order, are awesome to me. I receive the Design*Sponge email each morning and my favorite element is the Before/After. It makes me want to re-stain and re-paint and re-upholster everything in sight just 'cause so much of it comes out so damn cool looking. There is also a section where people fill in what they love most about their studios/homes. Now that my basement studio is close to completion, maybe I should post some photos about my favorite new hideaway in this world. Anyways, for those of you on vacation, enjoy. And for those basking in the heat, join me at the river!

This is my boy James and I. He's the best.

never forget you

Posting this in hopes that this woman will be my best friend or at least teach me how to dance one day.

hoodrats for a day

After a pretty low-key weekend, we stole away yesterday for a jaunt in Hood River. All of the mountains were out and there was nothing but blue sky for miles. Add to that fields of fresh fruit, lavender, shaded nooks and wineries then topped it off with a BBQ at Sophie's momma's house: there you have it, Sunday.
