another kind of memory

Summer bucketlist: picnic: check PLUS. 

Summer bucketlist: berry picking: check. 

Columbia Gorge, November 2013 - I mean not like it’s pretty or anything

I am a crafting dilettante. Quit drawing because I started connecting bits and bobs with wire. 

A visit to the newly opened MAURICE! Portland by way of France, complete with stripes, canele molds, cremant and poached pear.

Our magic heart plant

We picked apples and pumpkins, and made a caramel apple pie. We ate it by the fire, and life was good.

Taking inspiration from the trees and mixing my oranges, reds and pinks...on a backdrop of simple black basics. 

*Full J. Crew = leopard heels, striped top, clean rinse denim and mussed up hair with a fancy coat to pull it all together

Also can we talk about leather pants? Yay or nay? Too much for daytime? Just enough? I’ve been experimenting with the app style book and this is what I’m imagining would work with them from my closet…

So, I've taken up jewelry making...can't live in portland without a craft, right?
