Project Drive-In

Today I want to talk about something very near and dear to my heart: Drive-ins. The drive-in really embodies all that was wonderful about mid-20th century America, and it is an icon that is disappearing, but there is something we can do! I love going to the drive-in. It’s one of the few moments that…

A Visitor from Down Under

Over the last few days I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Fran of A Vintage Story. Yesterday we met up with Solanah of Vixen Vintage and ran around downtown, visiting various vintage shops, dropping by the photobooth, and popping into Powell’s. It’s so wonderful meeting fellow vintage bloggers especially…

One weekend that I look forward to each summer is the weekend spend at Portland International Raceway for the Portland Historic Races with my dad. As odd as it may sound, the days spent at the track are some of the most relaxing. We’ve been going to the Historics for over ten years, and the…

Days with Dad

When Patrick goes on business trips, I often decide to just go to my dad’s for the time he’s away. I love spending time with my dad since we share the same passions. The last few days were spent shopping, pricing inventory for the shop in Coburg, working on the newly acquired Cadillac hearse, and…

Tomorrow morning Patrick and I are hopping on a plane headed for beautiful and sunny Palm Springs! I haven’t been to Palm Springs since I was a kid, and I’m so excited to be able to tag along on Patrick’s business trip for a company conference. I have plans to see some of my family…

Austin Snapshots

I spent quite a bit of my time in Austin just wondering around its downtown and south side. There is so much to see and do in Austin and I know I just scratched the surface of a great city with beautiful signage, delicious food, deep history, and fun people. Not pictured, but experienced was…

Our time here in Austin is winding down, and it’s been a hit and miss adventure. I finally did some decent shopping yesterday. But right now I really want to share with you the fantastical location we hung out at for a good chunk of our trip. Many companies at SXSW rent out homes or…

Tomorrow morning Patrick and I are headed off to the Lone Star State! Patrick will be there attending SXSW and I’m just tagging along, because, well, I can! I’ve never been to Texas, and I’m pretty excited! There’s a lot to do in Texas, and I know I won’t be all I want, mainly because…

New Specs

Earlier I posted about the trial of finding new glasses, and how I ultimately settled on a new pair of frames, rather than a vintage pair. And here they are! Yeah, I know, they aren’t much different, but I’ve never been one for too much change. I am quite a fan of their nifty little…
