My quest for the perfect resin Buddha continued on the trip to Portland. At Cargo we met all manner of supreme beings. A small collage of hand painted and alabaster Buddhas, a beaded chair and a group of carved wooden deities (most of them smiling):

Portland Pop

Solveig and pal, Celina arrived in Portland for She and Him and the Schnitzer Hall for a rainy weekend. Zooey has been a been a hero of Solveig's forever and she was thrilled to attend the show. Shopping and dining in the Pearl was choice - thoughtful and well-prepared as always. We shared tapas at Andina before the young ladies went to the show.

Homecoming

Here is the room before:

I'm on the prowl for sexy eyewear - two pair. One practical and one for fun. I'm leaning toward Warby Parker Colton for everyday:


The other pair of eyeglasses will be vintage, chic and fun. These lovely looks are found on ModernMaude via Etsy:
