Hello Blog-world!

Summer seems to have finally gotten it's foot in the door here in Portland. Last week I was wearing my winter coat, boots, and scarves....yesterday I wore shorts, a tank, and sun glasses!

Crazy Portland!

I am so happy for the great weather though. So happy. Josh and I had 2 lovely BBQs this weekend, and I took an amazing kombucha making class from Lion Heart Kombucha and now I have my very own batch brewing away in the cupboard!

I am so excited about it that I am telling simply everyone and giving them details like "And did you know that chickens love to eat old SCOBYs? Isn't that neat? They go crazy for them!"

Yep, I'm that friend.

(p.s. a SCOBY is the symbiotic culture or bacteria and yeast that makes kombucha what it is.)

If you like kombucha, or even if you're not sure, buy some from Lion Heart, it's delicious, better than store bought, healthier, and local. (And even cheaper than the store brands if you can believe it!)

I regret only getting a half gallon when I was out there last....

I'll leave you with this photo. Our dog is gravity defying.

This week is so busy! It will be wonderful by the weekend, but in the days counting down to Friday I am working working working!

So here's what's happening:

Friday - wedding shower! (If you need details, dear friends of mine, call me or Joan (she sent the invite). You know I'll be thrilled to see you!

Saturday - The Hip Happening at the Sellwood Masonic Lodge. Come see me! I'll be there all day hanging out and I've got some brand new (the ink is drying right this second!) vintage dyed slips and they are amazing. I could just geek out on the lacey details for hours.

Sunday - Crafty Wonderland at the Doug Fir. Come see me again! I'll be there all day so if you couldn't make it on Saturday you've got a second chance! I'll also have a couple mini-runs of some stripey printed ladies tops, just 3 of a kind each! (I admit I'm keeping on for myself out of the 6...)

I hope everyone is enjoying the brief bit of sunshine we're having!
