I did the kindest thing yesterday by posting one single picture of the bride and groom… and you may let it go at that…BUT…if you want to know what went on, and see some of the work, fun and love that went into the moment…read on… On Friday the flowers were duly cut and transported […]

Can’t get Away from Summer (PHEW!)
Yesterday the sky was soooo blue. Just pure blue. I love summer. I love lettuce. I love watching Alex work… and I LOVE “Play Me I’m Yours”…11 pianos located all around Salem for people to play…it ends Sunday the 29th and I’m very sad to see it go. But now we start the wedding countdown…one […]
A Summer Weekend in Salem…
Friday I finished the little quilt top I’ve been working on down at Project Space (now to actually QUILT it…) and then I went to CAMP…for an hour. I visited the Art Camp held at Willamette University and watched with interest as the campers worked on small wax pieces. They were FEARLESS and willing to […]
Art Fair Weekend….
Friday is the first day of the three day art fair in the park here in Salem, all in aid of the Salem Art Association. Thursday night 5 artists sat in the rose garden making drawings to be auctioned later in the evening…after the sponsors ate a BBQ meal…they called the event “Quick Draw”…it was […]
Snafu….
Oh the world of blogging is snarly sometimes…or maybe it’s the world of computers…thankfully my brother Bruce can drive a mini-cooper full of lumber through Seattle traffic, diagnose what happened that made my blog refuse to take photos, talk me through the changes and VOILA…I’m back in business. This is for Bru with thanks….
This One Goes Out to Dave…
Oh thank goodness Dave wanted to see more of Ian’s truck…(since I took a TON of photos…). It’s a 1941 Dodge pickup which had been customized a bit when he got it…though Ian has done a lot to it himself. After he got the truck, Ian realized he actually had a 1942 license plate hanging […]
Two Gardens…
Beautiful gardens abound in Salem, but here’s a peek at two I’ve visited recently. The first is the garden of my “garden mentor” Irene. Years ago the late Oregonian garden columnist Dulcy Mahar wrote that if you were having trouble with your garden, the BEST thing to do was to find a garden you admired, […]
Sketchbook “World Tour” and James Hill
Wow…yesterday was just total fun all the way…and a beautiful sunny day to boot. First we went to The Cleaners at the Ace Hotel (corner of 10th and Stark) where the Sketchbook World Tour 2012 is hanging out for three days. I had a sketchbook in the mix and wanted to go “check it out” […]
Happy Birthday to Ashton!!
We started at Leipzig Tavern/Gino’s where it was hard to decide what to have for dinner…(Amy helps Ashton out…) but after the feast, the REAL party began… In our many years in Oregon we had never been to Oaks Park, and if you are in the same boat, you’d better get over there…it’s pretty cool. […]
Betty Feves, James Lavadour
We had an interesting couple of days in the city…saw a good show of eastern Oregon artist Betty Feves’ clay work at Contemporary Craft and the show “Betty Feves: Generations ” is open until July, so you have plenty of time to go take a look. My favorite was this piece called “Six Figures” and […]
