Send Spring a Hint

I am still seeing little snowflakes in the Portland forecast, but having lived much of my life in the Pacific Northwest, I know that the moment when you are ready to pack up and head for desert sun is the moment the sun comes out and so do the bikes. And then life in Portland is a beautiful thing!

Thanks to Etsy for their How-Tuesday video on the ABC's of tuning your bike. I'll be tuning up my bicycle this weekend in hopes that Spring will get the hint.

In a Grandmother's Attic

When I was very young, my grandmother had an attic full of pieces of family history. I would hop from ceiling beam to ceiling beam to avoid falling through the insulation, and if this sounds dangerous, I'm sure it was. But hey, in the 80's we all lived on the wild side.

I wish I could remember more specifically some of the finds I uncovered while in that attic. I do remember finding costume jewelry and clothing from when my mother, aunt and uncles were children. And toys that I would drag back down the ladder with me. 

I have always loved unearthing the history of items, whether vintage clothing that has already been loved and worn by someone else in another time or art that may be newly created, but still seems to have a story to tell.  

I don't know that my grandmother's attic had anything as lovely as these finds, but they all certainly seem to have a history waiting to be shared.

New In Town: Freepiling and Such

VintageChild:Modern got a little mention on this blog today...
Aside from the fact that there may be a sweet little coupon code for VintageChild:Modern's etsy shop mentioned in the post, blogger Meredith shows off her latest freepiled outfits. Reason enough to head over for a little look-see.

Uh huh, freepiled, like this...

And this...

And this..

Awesome, no? Gives hope to those of us young entrepreneurs who know that starting their own company means they won't be setting foot into an Anthropologie any time soon! 

Thank you Meredith!
