Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia… you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation… and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn chairs.
And today — yes, we got some sun! Halleluiah!!
For those of you just joining…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my residential choice.
What’s in store this week:
I’m in Portland, Oregon on for a few more days, before heading back to the coast. Today, I banged my drum a bit, and sold another drum at the drum store. so I am 2/2 of for the daily practice. I picked up some art supplies for Figuary — where you draw figures for every day of the month — and hope to start that challenge.
And I laced up my leather soled oxfords and started the first momdule of the Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. I’ll practice everyday (and i really need to practice ) and then show up at the zoom class on Saturday and see how I do. Maybe, I will video my feet at some point. Since I have absolutely no pride whatsoever about my dancing abilities…. it should be fun, and not too humbling
Speaking of the light.. do you think Valentine’s Day is too late to take the last of the lights down?
Here’s what I came up with for today!
The Details:
Super soft, 100% cashmere sweater by Adrienne Vittidini — a wonderful gift from my Daughter The Chef. DTC has impeccable taste in gifts… and we ALL love that!
Back of the sweater is ribbed.
Woolamina, covered with the sweater, and a funny little scarf that I picked up at a thrift store.
Sterling hand stamped earrings were from a shop in Arizona.
Boots are my go to by Hunter!
I ended up throwing on my gap coat on top — the one I had in yesterday’s post. It worked well with the scarf. And Number 1 and I , after much research, believe ourselves to be autumn color types.
Rainey Approved!!

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 30: banana republic
Down to the Banana Republic. Down to the tropical sun. Sounds pretty good to me, as I sit freezing my fanny off in the Pacific Northwest. Really, never thought I would see snow at the beach, but there you have it. Cold, Icy and Windy. But at Number 1's house, she...
day 29: my dogs and me
Life is good for my dogs and me. Just me and the four-legged children. The others have fled the nest -- two in San Francisco, one in New York, and one in Portland. I am currently at Number 1's house in Portland. She is away, so I have taken over. Nice. So if you...
day 28: dream a little dream
Dream a little dream, maybe of a simpler life... or maybe just a warmer life! And I really can't complain. The sun came out for a bit at the beach, and it was so wonderful. And then I drove to Portland. But, really, I am grateful to be in a part of town that has...
