Anthropologie has a perk card called “anthro” where you receive birthday discounts, free shipping, advanced notice of sales and so on for it’s members. Being that my birthday is the 18th of May I made off with this quadruple pocket hip party with my 15% off birthday discount. 

I’m guessing if you live in PNW the only thing on your mind currently is the 85 degree days approaching us right now. I often tell the story of the amazing summer back in the early 2000’s when I floated the Clackamas River in March; this might be the earliest hot weather weekend Portland’s had since. I’m not quite sure what to do with myself and I’m accepting this problem with funny jiggles and my elbow up, naturally!

I have been selling and buying on eBay since 2002 so I rarely pay attention to the number of feedbacks.  829 feedbacks from sellers and buyers… eBay Junky!?! I am so curious what my number of transactions is being that only a quarter of buyers and sellers actually take the time to leave feedback? Sometimes I wonder if I could make it a full time job minus the shipping.

Side note: Frequent Goodwill pop-ins are worth it when you snag a shrunken wool coat for $9!

March’s eBay share: Vintage denim jumper. AKA dungarees, farmers suit, denim bib, onesie? Repeat of February’s eBay share or is there a denim one-piece obsession? …absolutely! 

Enjoying my early Saturday morning coffee, nail paint and baking while Jeff’s at work. The sun is peaking out just enough to make me want to get out for hairy duo stroll. It’s a quiet weekend in Portland and I plan to keep it that way. 

Chunky boy athletic socks are still being worn everyday over here, but at least this weekend brought the need of sunglass wearing and Candy Yum-Yum lips to my life.

There isn’t anything wrong with a cold fall day, I’d actually prefer it that way… elements on the side!  In a perfect world the sky would be a bright blue open canvas for the sun to dance in with crisp cold air: e v e r y d a y. These days are my favorite to dress for by far simply because the layering can be so interesting and fun and …comfortable.

Jeff was away for the entire weekend which generally means I’m nesting at home re-organizing a room or doing a deep clean. I enjoy these times of leaving the house and coming back to it looking exactly the same but I’m ready to have Jeff back, muddy golf shoes and all.

Thank you Presidents for the three day weekend.
