Just Call Me Mr. T

Doesn't everyone love getting special deliveries in the mail? My boyfriend's grandpa sent me a gift of gold chains for my birthday! He is quite the character. When we visited him last summer he kept giving me gifts left and right. These nine gold chain necklesses and five gold chain bracelets are joining the collection of similar size he give me last summer. Isn't he adorable. Like I said, soon I will be Mr. T. :)

Here he is smoozing with the University of New Mexico cheerleading squad on his 80th birthday!

Another new adventure for me!

I am the newest Portland Wine Examiner! I will be writing about a variety of wine topics, including events, reviews, and recommendations of Oregon wine. Of course, a lot of my articles will be focusing on spreading the love of Southern Oregon wine, as it is my personal mission. :) I have five articles currently posted along with my bio. If you become a subscriber, you will be notified when I post new articles and you will be contributing to my bank account (or wine buying account)!

Thanks for all your support!

I can't believe I am posting this picture, but if you can't laugh at yourself...

A Little Bird Told Me.

I almost feel sorry for my co-workers and boyfriend today as I blabbered on and on about my obsession with this Anthropologie hand-carved mobile. You can see why- its gorgeous! Sadly, it is sold out, but I found one similar.

Flock of Sparrows. That wasn't mean to be for me.

Driftwood swallows swoop and dive beneath curved branches. That I want want want want.

Soon, I will have a place to decorate to my little heart's desire and I am loving these bird influences.

Thanks to Carey at CorksandCaftans for sharing her mobile, so I could go gaga.

I think I have it worked out now that you don't have to have a Google account to comment on my blog! Yay. Happy chatting.

Move Over Penelope, Watch out Zooey!

After I watched Amelie for the first time last month, Audrey Tautou is now on my list of girl crushes- joining the likes of Penelope Cruz and Zooey Deschanel!

Audrey is as-cute-as-a-button and I am so envious of her honor of playing Coco Chanel in the movie Coco Before Chanel.

One look at Audrey's wardrobe and it was obvious she cares about fashion. Her street style is easy and careless mostly wearing jeans, black blazers, and flats. But, she knows how to pump it up on the carpet with girly dresses and fun hemlines.

My Beautiful New Companion

I got a bike for Christmas and I am just now revealing her to the world!

Globe Vienna 2

I have so many aspirations for our relationship including leisurely rides, sustainable transportation, Tour de Vinos, and things like this:

Jeremiah Ducate pedaled 962 lbs. of food to donate to the San Francisco Food Bank!

Thanks to Don at Don's Bike Shop in Grants Pass, Oregon for having the perfect bike for me!
