Road trip

 I went on a road trip the other day.  Here are some pictures from the St. Paul Ponds.
I am wearing a Love Flow Creations skirt made from a moo moo along with thrifted top, vest, hat and boots.  The ponds have a nice walking path that we took advantage of.  Till next time...

What to do with men's dress shirts

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in quite awhile. You know how life gets.  You're living it and forgetting to take pictures of it, or write about it.

Last Sat. when my mum was here we wandered over to "the bins" where I scored myself a whole bunch of men's shirts.  So here's some pictures of what I've been doing with them.

What to do with a sunny day in Portland

That is one of our little neighbors reading the bumper-stickers on "Stella's" back side.  Yes, I named my car Stella.  

 

 

Update:  On a sad note, when my ex split he took Stella with him to Florida.  The day after Thanksgiving he totaled  Stella.  Rest in peace Stella.  I love you car of mine. :-(

On this particular sunny day awhile back I took the opportunity to enjoy the day by going for a walk in my neighborhood up to Roxy's my favorite restaurant in Beaverton.  The best food by far, the friendly staff and the loudest Hawaiian music. LOL

Update:  Roxy's is now a favorite place for my guy Lonnie. :-)

I love the "Under Construction" display someone was cute enough to share with us in their front yard.  Isn't the guy on the tractor great?

As for what I'm wearing, the green sweater is one of my Love Flow Creations embellished with lace and tattered edges.  The dress is also a Love Flow Creation made from a black cami with white stars, lace added to the front bodice and as a skirt.  It reminds me of a French maids outfit.  In a good way.  I have worn it over a black v-front and v-back dress.

What an awesome day!!!

I am looking at these pictures with absolutely no idea where hubby and I were dancing and when.  However, please note the orb floating between us in the first picture.  Then in the second picture the orb is floating over both of us.  Well folks this is hubby and I dancing somewhere at sometime.

NW Steampunk Woman of Substance Social

This is Keana's Candy Land on Milwaukee where we had our first NW Steampunk Woman of Substance Social.  The food was awesome and plentiful.  I was the only one who had been there before so the rest of the ladies had a lot of decor to check out.  Murals to be used for backdrops for our pictures were plentiful.  It was a great afternoon.  In attendance  were Lady M, Theresa, Jory, and me.

Lady M made her outfit.  Wow, awesome job, Lady M.

My outfit consist of two Love Flow Creations pieces.  the first is a Grecian style top Made from a silky camisole, some gauzy fabric with gold pin stripes, a lacy shawl, and some more lace, which is being worn over my my white petticoat.  Over the top and skirt is another Love Flow Creation, a bustle made from an hundred year old valance and curtains .  To top it all off is my burgundy velvet jacket and a straw hat with flowers.

The shrew on the trail

Hubby and I were walking on the Fanno Creek Trail when we came across this little guy, a shrew. Who knew they were so small?? I didn't. They are about the size of a mouse.

OK, I am so far behind on blogging I have no idea what day this was or what I did, but I did remember to take pictures.

The jacket is a thrifted "Chico" score. I love it when I find spendy brands at thrift stores.

Pink t-shirt thrifted. Earrings on sale for $3 at Guacamole in Jaco in Costa Rica. The coolest store I found in Costa Rica.

Victorian pin was at the St. John's Flea Market. The "Coexist" pin new from somewhere? Goddess necklace was from a craft fair.

The skirt is one of my Love Flow Creations made from a moo moo. And if you look closely you can see my Victoria's Secret thermal jammie bottoms. Boots were thrifted.

Till next time...
