Pack up, Let’s Fly Away!

February 13, 2012, 5 Comments

Well tomorrow Patrick and I leave for sunny (or at least I hope so, there have been some weather forecasts that predict rain for a few days while we’re down there) southern California. And tonight I packed my suitcases…or at least tried to… My crinoline and all of my outfits proved to bit a little…

Introducing Mr. Van Cleef!

February 4, 2012, 1 Comment

I’d like to take this time to introduce the addition to our home, Mr. Van Cleef, the Jackalope. I had been wanting one of these mythic creatures for sometime now, and Patrick was lucky enough to score one on Ebay for us. I want him to live in a room full of black velvet and…

Tom Brokaw Speaks on America

Something you may not know about me, is that I am a huge news geek. For someone who appears to be a complete and utter Time-Warp Wife, I am extremely up to date on current affairs. Often, my television is on CNN, and when I started college, I entered as a journalism major. I have…

A Spooktacular Halloween

October 23, 2011, 2 Comments

Last night I once again hosted my mellow Halloween party, an evening filled with good friends, delicious beignets, a rousing game of Apples to Apples, and wonderful costumes. This year I grew mouse ears and a tail to become the Showgirl Mouse from Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective. Patrick went as Number 6 from the…

A Family Treasure

I recently went to Idaho to visit my grandmother who is currently ill. I’ll spare you the unpleasant details and focus on a happier, more vintage note! During our stay, my mother and I went through family albums gazing at old photos of my mom’s family. Included in the pictures were ones from my grandparent’s…

"You wear all of that voluntarily?"

Yesterday my friend Katie and I went out to the beloved Fabric Depot (imagine a locally owned JoAnn’s, but bigger, and focused on fabric and sewing) While milling about the store a woman approached Katie, commenting on her style (Katie too dresses vintage on a regular basis). I appeared in the middle of the conversation,…

Rope

Last night Patrick and I had the glorious pleasure of seeing my favorite Hitchcock film on the big screen, Rope. We arrived early, as per usual for me…and ordered up a couple slices of pizza to munch on prior to the film – thank goodness for the Portland trend of combining pizza, beer and movies. …

Wedded Bliss at Disneyland

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! Mine was certainly a little different this year, but more on that later! Right now I want to talk about Disneyland! The day after our wedding Patrick and I boarded a plane headed for what is normally sunny southern California, but instead we were met with weather…

Saying "I Do!"

Alright, so here I am, my first entry as a married woman! It’s kind of strange to think about! While there were several problems, nothing too disastrous happened and everyone had a good time, and there was fun to be had by all. So, here are the pictures! Enjoy! Thanks to an army of friends…

Wedding Prep

Goodness! I can’t believe it’s Friday already! I’m getting married in just a few days! Lately, my days have been filled with vow writing, decor packing, boutonniere making, thank you card writing, and steaming – yes, steaming. Yeah, let me explain. I discovered it was cheaper to purchase chair covers than to rent them. So…
