Some film from my
Vancouver trip back in June, all of these images were shot on my Minolta SR-T 201, probably on a 100 ISO film, but I can’t remember which brand and forgot to write it down before I handed in my rolls to be developed. The night market was so much fun, it wasn’t the huge one in Richmond but rather one in Chinatown that it just a block long with some great food and novelty item vendors. This is where I bought my beaded cat purse! All the food seemed to be only $3.50, which was the perfect amount! The above noodles were cooked in a really interesting way, using a small metal chest of drawers to steam rice paste that was spread onto a tray, and then folded over again and again with a metal scraper to form it into a big noodle. It also had little dried shrimp bits and green onion, and then I loaded it up with various sesame sauces and seeds. YUM! Also consumed: rose milk tea, no bubbles.

This summer I am all about
roses. The above blooms are from our rose bushes in front of the house, they were planted long before we moved in and dalas has been caring for them ever since. They smell really amazing! I was excited to find this single note rose perfume made by
Tokyo Milk at
Flutter a couple weeks ago, it’s a solid perfume and smells just like real roses. I guess it’s a bit of a granny scent, but I really like it.
Also, hi! I’m back from my Canadian cabin trip, and will have a ton of photos to post real soon. I also dropped off six rolls of film today, including three Holga rolls!! I’m slowly getting organized and packing up orders and answering emails… back to real life, but not for long! Doing an overnight camp trip this weekend on the mini island where I spent the fourth of July. Yay!

I am less than eight hours away from when I need to catch my train up to Vancouver, BC, to meet up with my best old friends to make our yearly voyage out to TYEE, aka The Cabin. I’m trying to channel the rad serenity of these trees (shot on my Minolta out at Wind Mountain, one of the best hikes I’ve done around the Portland area) but last minute nerves are getting the better of me! Packing is hard. Downloading podcasts is hard (haha). I’m excited for lots of boat rides, some dock sun, amazing food, cozy layers at night, dunks in the lake, morning boozy coffee in the hot tub… yesss. I had all these grand plans to schedule posts for while I was gone, but things have been so busy that it just didn’t happen. So, see you in a week or so!

I picked up a few rolls of film today and have lots of new photos to share! This batch is from a disposable camera that I bought in Vancouver, and all the photos were shot on my trip up North in June. It was such a nice time, and I barely took any digital photos when I was there so I’m excited to finally see these shots!
Above, the crows doing their daily Eastern migration. I was talking about this with my friend Justin today who was visiting from Vancouver, and he said, “Do you know how many crappy Commercial Dr. spots have paintings of this?” Answer: a whole lot.
Hope you guys don’t mind that I post a million photos of
Maya’s tattoos. I can’t help it!

I was pretty excited when I found these dresses, I love how they are almost the same but not quite. Picnic twins! Also, I’m happy to offer up this beautiful handmade 1930′s dress with the sweetest little embrodiered fabric:

Marcine takes some of the best food
photos that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing and in turn, I can’t help but imagine myself devouring every last morsel. I believe these were all shot on film, and they are a real delight- total picnic goodness! I picked up a really nice, heavy glass pitcher at an estate sale last weekend and I want to fill it up with ginger limeade, strawberry lemonade, mojitos, iced tea and everything delicious. I really want to host a garden party before summer ends and make all kinds of cool treats for fancy ladies.

I have a post up today on
The Considered Ensemble, a really refreshing style website that asks a variety of people to share details of their outfits using only words. It seems wrong to even post a photo along with this because the whole point is to cut the visual part out of the fashion blog equation, at least for a little while, so I’m being extra sneaky about it and only showing you the box. Shoe anticipation torture!

I have been getting a lot of really awesome things in the mail lately, instead of the usual boring shipping supplies and junk. I received an amazing package from
Izzy as part of a swap, she sent me all kinds of neat French things including the above 45, an amazing collar that she made, scallop silk blouse, a vintage blouse from Eaton’s (yay Canada!) and other little treats as well. I’m going to have to show off the clothing & collar in some outfit posts to really do them justice, but for now, some photos!
This next little collection is from Maya, she’s one of the best collectors that I know and mail from her is always perfect. The spoon has a little Elks lodge critter on it, she actually gave that to me when I was up in Vancouver last month. I’ll be back soon, I’m hopping on the train this Friday to head North for my annual cabin trip, and Maya is coming along this year too!
The coziest package of them all was from Tara-Lynn, (funny, I just realized all three are Canadians too!) who sent me a couple of her knits and a book, which I’ve almost finished reading. I am so thrilled that this arrived before my trip, because I really needed a couple soft, warm knit pieces for nights out on the boat at the lake. I’ll have better photos of these being worn soon, too! Thanks every buddy!
