Awww.... yes!

Most adorable picture ever. If only I took the advice. 

Realizations of a Southern Oregon House Hunter

Searching for rental houses in Southern Oregon has not been an easy feat. Down here I've found there are code names for rental house listings on Craigslist or property management company's sites that I thought I would share for entertainment and educational purposes:

• Cottage-  Tiny, shack that may or may not be attached to a home, but is for sure a dump
• Updated- The shag was replaced within the last five years with dark brown carpet, but there is still floor-to-ceiling wood panelling
• Quaint-  No style or architectural design what-so-ever and usual has been preserved in the 70s era
• Cute- All the glass is still intact in the windows, but we cannot promise there is paint on the exterior
• Inexpensive- Still shockingly spendier than Portland
• Duplex- Yes, the people next door are crazy, loud, and wave Confederate flags
• Freshly Painted- We had to in order to cover up the water spots on the ceiling
• Great Neighborhood- Anywhere that is not West Medford
• Quiet Neighborhood- Anywhere that is not West Medford
• Close to Shopping- Close to Wal-Mart or the Dollar Tree
• Country Living- There is no way you are getting internet out here, not even Hughes Net

As long as your listing does not contain one of more of these, you may be in luck and have found a suitable shelter. I think we might have :)

Lady Like Hair Clips

There are few things I love more than cute accessories and I am so delighted of this new discovery in Southern Oregon. 

I recently attended an Open House for Wreckless Photography and during the event I scouted out some adorable hair pieces made by Diana of Lady Like Designs. 

Right now she has 21 variations on her Etsy site and I must admit I want to splurge on all of them. But, here is the one I settled on first. A romantic dusty rose colored design with antiqued leather and an elegantly knitted flower. 

Many of Diana's designs incorporate fun unexpected color combinations and feathers. All fasten to your hair snugly with a metal clip or pin.

 I also heard a rumor hand warmers in the the making... perfect for the upcoming seasons.
