Fellow NorthWesterners! The next PalmerWirfs antique show is coming July 9th and 10th at the Portland Expo Center. They have 1200 booths of vintage furniture, collectibles, linens, jewelry, and oodles more. I went last year and had a great time. They didn't have much clothing last time but if you are into collectibles or goodies for your home it is a fun day for a great price. Here's the link. Have fun!

Ode to Fred and Ginger
Anytime I have a day that I wish my mom were here to tell me "It's o.k. to stay in bed today." or I have an evening where I just need a fun escape I turn to my old faithfuls Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. I escape into their movies like a kid to cartoons. I imagine myself next to them on their fantastic art deco sets wearing their elegant, shiny costumes. I get swept away in their witty dialog and sweet flirtations. Really there is nothing better than an afternoon alone with Fred and Ginger and a box of Cocoa Pebbles. And for that I thank them. Always bringing a smile to my face and warm fuzzies to my heart. I have all of their movies and my favorites are Follow the Fleet and The Gay Divorcee.... o.k. well Swing Time too. Ginger is the epitome of the girl with moxie and glamour. Her sassy comebacks to Fred are hilarious! Their dancing is both fun and incredibly romantic. I hope you have discovered them too and are curling up right now with your favorite comfort sweets. Here's a clip of their famous scene from Swing Time. I love their exit! Enjoy!

Meet the Boston Beans!
Anyone who loves their dogs like children can understand the need to introduce my dogs Lucy and Bella. They crack me up on a daily basis. They are so great at silently influencing me whether it is to give them a treat or remind me of who I am because they always love me. Being a dog mom has so many rewards. One thing I love about the Boston is that everyone growing up in America from the 1930's to 60's seems to have had one. I love getting stopped when I walk the girls to hear stories of "Sugar Baby was such a rascal but we loved her!" They are a funny breed with looks only their mother (and other dog lovers) could love. And their very human like features and expressions can keep you laughing all day. Anyway, I wanted to share mine with you for a little giggle.
