Gayle’s View: Halloween Hi-jinks!

By Gayle | Published: September 27, 2010

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, [...]

Gayle’s View: Country Home Magazine

By Gayle | Published: August 13, 2010

Some time ago I wrote a blog about my favorite magazines and how they were stopping publication. I know that I am one of many who looked forward each month to get the mail and sit down with a Cottage Living, Country Home, Mary Englebreit Home, Country Living, and Victoria.

Gayle’s View: Simple Inspirations

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 [...]

Gayle’s View: Nature Journaling

By Gayle | Published: July 3, 2010

My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird– equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. –Mary Oliver Last week I went to a Nature Journaling Workshop held at the Sitka Art Center on the Oregon coast. I went [...]

Gayle’s View: Officially Summer in the Garden

By Gayle | Published: June 22, 2010

“…..silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”–Langston Hughes I googled “spring rains” today for inspiration. There are about a jillion quotes extolling the virtues of rain. And we all know we need it. But I think even the most hardened of Oregonians want to say “enough now”!! I know I do. I [...]

By Gayle | Published: May 27, 2010

PART TWO: HOW STARS GOT STARTED In the three years that four of us–Darwin, Brent, Marie and I– produced the “Magic” shows, we learned a great deal.

Gayle’s View: Story of Stars Part 1

By Gayle | Published: May 15, 2010

IT WAS SUMMERTIME IN 1987 AND OREGON WAS IN A DEEP RECESSION…. For those of you too young to remember, recessions are not a new thing. Times were hard then–job loss, foreclosures, tight money, budget cutbacks… And like today, the antique collectors and creative people in Oregon just kept on going. There were exciting events [...]
