My relationship with plants has often been described as a hateful one. As a child I went on many hikes with my dad through Oregon’s many forests, visiting majestic waterfalls and spectacular views. I loved these hikes, but as I grew up I began to get a destain for Oregon’s evergreen forests with their creeping ferns and…

While I finally finished decorating awhile ago, I hadn’t felt up to photographing, especially since the living room had become a bit of a sick bay for me, complete with blankets, humidifier and mug of tea, Jamba Juice, bottles of Gatorade, and a massive pile of DVDs. But I’ve been feeling better, and as December…

At Home in Orange Part 2

November 13, 2014, 17 Comments

While I haven’t been feeling too hot these last few days I finally felt good enough to snap some pictures of our bedroom at our new place! Our bedroom got a bit of a western theme, as I couldn’t pass up this massive covered wagon black velvet painting my dad found, which set the tone…

At Home in Orange

This post has been a long time in the making! You are finally going to see our new apartment! Well some of it anyways. While the driving portion of our move was pretty uneventful, the settling in process of the move went slower than maple syrup on a cold day. We faced multiple hurdles, some…

Settling In

October 6, 2014, 6 Comments

As I mentioned in my last post, moving in is going a lot slower than we thought. It’s been a game of Tetris for sure, and we’ve had a few hiccups along the way. We also got rid of a great deal of items before leaving, both items that we simply didn’t want or need…

Preserving the Past

February 2, 2014, 3 Comments

Recently I was contacted by fellow blogger Hannah, of Just Peachy Darling, about a project she was working on. She was asking several people to express why they are interested in history and how they are preserving the past. Since this subject is so near and dear to me, I was eager to get on…

Victorian Secrets

December 10, 2013, 8 Comments

A few weeks ago an article had been floating about the interwebs. It was an article about a woman who wears Victorian garb as many of us vintage gals rock the 40s and 50s. I was so intrigued, having an interest in the Victorian era in addition to the mid-20th century. The woman, Sarah Chrisman,…

Off to California!

This afternoon Patrick and I are headed down to my dad’s in Eugene, where we’ll stay the night before waking up bright and early to head to California! Thanks to the fact that we’re driving, I am able to take another suitcase! Which I needed, since we’ll be away for for a little over a…

Manly Mondays: Shaving

October 8, 2012, 2 Comments

Let’s face it most guys hate shaving. I used to. It’s irritating and the razors cost an arm and a leg. Around 8 months ago I started shaving with single bladed safety razor, and all the annoyances of keeping clean shaven have went away. If you haven’t shaven with a real razor before I highly…

Questions on the Street

September 28, 2012, 20 Comments

In my last post I wrote about common vintage misconceptions and in the comments Harlow of Suburban Retro said she would be interested in hearing my responses to the questions and comments I get while out and about. Let’s be honest, we vintage gals don’t dress like everyone else, so it draws attention and sometimes…
