sleep deprived.

On the other hand, Portland is all I could ever wish for, and more. The last few days I have seen more vintage stores than ever before in one city, and ate more amazing vegan food than ever before, I now know why Portland is the vegetarian capital of the US! I also found an incredible fabric store, of course, right next to a fabulous yarn store, and even better, right down the street from a cute little craft store, that just happened to have all my favorite scrap booking products, and papers. Oh yes.

My calendar is still up for sale in my Etsy shop, so head over there if you are interested! They make great gifts! :)





I was asked to do a tutorial on my water color technique, and I am dying to paint right now! I am also out of town, and 3000 miles away from my brushes and paint. I will however try to squeeze one in between working and packing when I get back to Maine! :)

I hope you are all staying warm. I'm craving some hot apple cider!

I am so so jealous of you. Portland is the most amazing place. I visited from New Zealand late last year. Promise me you'll go to Voodoo doughnut and Powells books and the saturday markets are so awesome... sigh... would take me a lot more than 45 hours to move there but man if I could do it I would.

Portland is an amazing city, I think you will love it there. There are so many creative people and great music that runs through - I always thought of it as a little oasis in the middle of nowhere.

The houses are adorable - I had a lot of friends that lived in SE but, when I lived there I lived in NE right off Weidler. Good luck!

YOu have some really great things for sale in your Etsy shop and your calendar is wonderful.
You would sell a lot more if you adjusted your prices. Ask others what they would be willing to pay for certain items and price accordingly! good luck!

Congratulations, I hope you find the perfect living space. Let me know if you need help packing and loading the truck when you get back. Maybe I can get you a going away coffee gift or something? Enjoy the trip!
