Garden Magic

By Brent | Published: August 11, 2011

Nothing can top an evening of dining in an Oregon garden. While this summer has not been what I could call, Summer. It is quite obvious that some Oregon gardens have been thriving with our weather this year. I have heard the moans and groans of gardeners related to their dismal vegetable gardens but the [...]

Summer Whites

By Brent | Published: July 4, 2011

What is it about the color white that is so soothing? When Summer finally arrives, I find myself yearning for the clean, cool color of white. White has numerous hues just like any other color. Warm, cool, creamy to stark, my personal favorite is the white that has the patina of age. I love color [...]

Gayle’s View: Julie’s Holiday Party

By Gayle | Published: December 19, 2010

A trip into Christmas Wonderland….. I’m sharing some photos taken at a luncheon hosted by the multi-talented Julie Stabler. Julie decorates in a big way for Christmas–her way of sharing for her family and friends. Every surface is practically covered with holiday accessories or memorabilia. There is at least one tree in every room. With [...]

Vulcanite Friendship Hands

By Jen | Published: December 13, 2010

Look at this beautiful brooch from Erie Basin. It is a Victorian “vulcanite” friendship brooch from the late 1800′s. Vulcanite was a popular plastic because of its resembling jet, but for a lower price point. Just a beautiful representation of the era and material. If you are looking for Vulcanite, Jet or Victoriana–let us know!

LOOKING FORWARD TO HALLOWEEN HI-JINKS…… Yes, I’m a bit ahead of myself as it is not yet even October, but I couldn’t resist a bit of a head start. I have always loved Halloween–even years ago before it became a major marketing tool. I am old enough to remember the days when we went through [...]

Gayle’s View: End of Summer

By Gayle | Published: September 5, 2010

In my mind, the end of August is the official end of summer. I know the actual end is September 21, but even at the end of August I start to see the signs of autumn coming. The summer (when it finally came) has been lovely–I’ve enjoyed being outdoors–picnics, weddings, gardening, trips to the coast, [...]

By Gayle | Published: July 25, 2010

“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive–it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we know all about everything–would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?” –L.M. Montomgery, Anne of Green [...]
