Portland

Back home from Portland...
Had a wonderful time.
Drank too much.
Ate too much.
But who cares!

Here are some pics of the BarnHouse sale. I am so glad I was able to attend this event!

Here's my man- I love him!

and here is a collage of old buildings in the Pearl District...

Hope all of you had a great weekend. Now I MUST get serious!

Need to take photography class ASAP!

Lately I have been admiring the work of some seriously talented photographers. I sooo want and need to learn the art of photography. I'm also loving the look of cameras as decor. I came across this image of Kim from Desire to Inspire, who recently re-decorated her bedroom. I just love the way the cameras look stacked on this wooden table along with the white pottery and branches.

Anyway when I learn to take great pictures I hope they will turn out like these taken by photographer Melanie Acevedo (photo via Jubella.com)

and these by photographer Lisa Cohen (photo via Jubella.com)

Someday I will take great photos!
