Week 38 {Project 365}

Posted on 25 Sep ’12

I’m lounging by the pool in this week’s 52 trying to soak up the last bit of Summer. The transition from Summer to Fall is always strange for me. I think I just get anxious about preparing the home for winter and getting ready for the rush of holidays. And now, my week in instagrams (via @jade_melissa & @cory_burnsed)… Sunday (September 16th): Plans got changed, so Cory and I decided to spend some time by the pool. Monday (September 17th): An unbelievable sunset. Tuesday (September 18th): Met Kim for ice cream at our beloved Salt & Straw. We ended up getting the exact same flavors: almond brittle with salted ganache and amber malted plum. Wednesday (September 19th): Cory brought home a little pick me up. Thursday…

A Trip to Cannon Beach

Posted on 8 Sep ’12

I’m ashamed to say that Cory and I only live an hour away from the beach but hadn’t visited since we first started dating over 5 years ago. We knew we had to remedy this so a couple of weekends ago we drove up to Cannon Beach and spent the afternoon. First stop was Mo’s for the clam chowder, bouillabaisse and gorgeous view of the beach. After savoring every last bite, we headed to the beach. The weather was ridiculously perfect. We took off our shoes so we could feel the warm sand and freezing cold water on our toes. We held hands, took tons of photographs, chased seagulls and walked a few miles down the beach to Haystack Rock. Oh, and there was lots…

A Trip to Insomnia Coffee Co.

Posted on 5 Sep ’12

I grew up right outside of Portland. This meant I lived in a place where not much was going on. The coolest thing to do with friends was go hangout at the local 24 hour Starbucks. Yeah. I know. So when an indie coffee company that showcased local artists and musicians came to town, we were all thrilled. Insomnia Coffee Co. lives by these words: Art for the sake of art. Coffee for the sake of coffee. Not only am I happy to say I’ve been able to showcase my illustration work there but I’m also happy to report that Insomnia has flourished into 3 separate locations. I can’t wait for September 22nd (the first day of Fall) to roll around because that’s when Insomnia starts selling…

A Trip to Ruby Jewel Scoops

Posted on 30 Aug ’12

A few years ago, I saw a special on Food Network about Ruby Jewel Ice Cream Sandwiches. It stood out in my mind for a few reasons 1) Lisa, the ice cream artisan, was making these beautiful sandwiches in my hometown, Portland, 2) The flavor combinations sounded delectable and 3) I adore ice cream. Cory and I went out immediately to Whole Foods to hunt them down. We decided on the Lemon Cookie with Honey Lavender. It… was… insane. The type of insane where you try and convince yourself that it’s perfectly fine to eat one (or two) every single day for the rest of your life. You can imagine my delight when Cory and I were driving downtown and saw the construction of Ruby Jewel Scoops on…

Beaver BBQ

Posted on 28 Aug ’12

No, no, no. When I say beaver bbq I’m not saying I went to a bbq where they served beaver. The Beaver BBQ is an annual BBQ hosted by the Johnson family at their farm as a tribute to their love of the Oregon State Beavers. Whitney and Dave invited Cory and I. It was such a pleasure to finally meet these two face to face after admiring/internet stalking them for the past few years. They are such a sweet couple and I’m so happy for them: they are recently engaged, don’t you know!? I also got to meet so many lovely, talented photographers and bloggers: Nicolle (and her lovely son), Debbie and Vanessa to name a few. I didn’t feel like being too…

Week 32 {Project 365}

Posted on 14 Aug ’12

I’m at Stumptown Coffee Roasters for this week’s 52. I get my haircut at Prima Salon (by the incredible Candice White) which is only a few blocks away from the Ace Hotel. After my haircut, Its become a bit of a tradition for Cory and I to go to the Ace and take photos in the photo booth and grab a cup of coffee at Stumptown in the lobby. And now, my week in photographs… Sunday (August 5th): Cory and I went to the Orenco Station Farmer’s Market. See the full blog post here. Monday (August 6th): Displaying a few of our gorgeous flowers from the Farmer’s Market on our dining room table. Tuesday (August 7th): My handsome husband.

A Trip to the Orenco Station Farmer’s Market

Posted on 7 Aug ’12

Just down the road from where we live now, there is an amazing farmer’s market that takes place every Sunday starting in May all the way through the month of October. We went this past Sunday and enjoyed fresh produce, delicious mini doughnuts, snazzy music, stunning dahlias (the big, beautiful bouquet I took home was just $7!!), a sky performance courtesy of the Blue Angels and lots of happy pups! I can’t wait for next Sunday. Twitter / Facebook / Instagram / Pinterest / Illustration / Etsy

Week 31 {Project 365}

Posted on 6 Aug ’12

In this week’s 52, I’m wearing one of the gorgeous Dino e Lucia dresses I won in Honey Kennedy’s giveaway! It is slightly too big on me, but with a bit of tailoring, I know it will be absolutely perfect! The color and detailing is so glamorous. I can’t wait to wear it for the holidays. And now my week in photographs… Sunday (July 29th): Pancakes for breakfast! (gluten free, of course) Monday (July 30th): A few scattered flowers on a short but sweet walk. Tuesday (July 31st): Prepping tomatoes for chicken bruschetta. Wednesday (August 1st): Rolling dough for homemade gluten free tortillas. Thursday (August 2nd): Obviously my trip to Italy has made an impact. Friday (August 3rd): My husband nailing a jump shot while sporting the…

A Trip to Sammy’s Flowers

Posted on 1 Aug ’12

Have you ever been to Sammy’s Flowers? I picked out the flowers for my wedding bouquet there and whenever I’m wandering around 23rd, I always make sure to walk over to Sammy’s and take a look at what they have in. Nothing beats the beauty of nature. Cory and I couldn’t resist taking a sedum home for our dining room table. Twitter / Facebook / Instagram / Pinterest / Illustration / Etsy

Week 28 {Project 365}

Posted on 18 Jul ’12

In this week’s 52, I’m sharing this necklace. On this particular afternoon, I randomly decided I wanted to wear a necklace. I love jewelry, but I usually end up wearing the same 3 or 4 favorite pieces over and over again. I decided to change things up. Cory ended up asking where I got it and that’s when I realized I bought it in Venice on my first trip to Italy. Obviously Italy is calling me. And now, my week in photographs… Sunday (July 8th): I adore Emma Stone. Gorgeous, witty, not afraid to laugh at herself. Her interview in Vogue was just lovely. Oh, and have you seen this!!? Monday (July 9th): Dorothy, I don’t think we’re in Oregon anymore. I cannot believe this…
