My favorite local junk shop, packed with treasures. Her prices are amazing, but don’t be afraid to negotiate, she welcomes it. They also carry a line of beautiful, new furniture at great prices that is manufactured locally. High quality sofas, love seats & chairs with a ton of fabric options.
She is trying to clear out her current inventory to make room for more so get yourself down there and make a deal, strike a bargain, collect some junk. Find things you absolutely love and just buy them, you will find a place for them.

Treasures from my hunt:
A tattered unframed print I couldn’t resist snatching(for $12) because I love the colors. Now I just need to decide where to put all this stuff.
What a treat to wake up to these beautiful works of art in my mailbox. These photos of the Friday Harbor Collection really should be hanging in an art gallery and preserved forever, don’t you think? Sonia’s gift amazes me. She opened the package at the post office and impulsively drove to a local garden and shot these with her macro lens(I have no idea what that is, but I hear it is tricky to get portrait shots;).
This is how the Harbor Jeans are supposed to fit. I love the unconventional length. Not full length and not really crop. Yes I think I will start a new and fashionable length and I shall call it highwater. Perfect for the Pacific Northwest, a length that keeps the hemline out of mudpuddles and looks great with boots in the cold season and barefeet in the summer.

Saying my office is complete may be stretching the truth a little, but is anything really ever complete? I raided my scrap fabric & vintage lace boxes and managed to come up with curtains to soften up the rustic wood & metal.
Custom cork board. A perfect place to tack my swatches, photos & notes from customers. And more leftover eden signs. Did I ever tell you how Marius, the hotel guy, stayed up until 2 am to help make these while we were in England for a trade show? Ahhh, memories.
My library ladder, so we can reach your things in style.
I am still pondering the dilapidated chair.
Where the blogging happens.
A hutch from an old un-employed cabinet. This is where I will install the dowel for my spools of ribbon.
There a still a few things to be done. Storage boxes or baskets to hide my fabric collection, photos to hang on the wall, slipcovers to be made, dowel for my spools of ribbon to be installed, but this will work for now.
On to the master bedroom…
Look what I just got from Tamara! Beautiful photos of the Heirloom Lace Swimsuit. I like to show each style on a variety of sizes and I love how this looks on the bigger girls. This vintage style suit is one of my favorite pieces in the Friday Harbor Collection & I can’t wait to wear it on my daughters.
Suddenly realizing the house was quiet, I went in search of Violet. I found her sitting so nicely on the couch painting her little nails and a good portion of her fingers & toes. (Amazingly, not a drop on the couch)
It all started when I decided it would be a good idea to squish 12 kids, 9 of them boys, into the old jalopy and drive to the nearest lake for a impromptu photo shoot. It went downhill from there. The sun was much too bright for an unprofessional like me, Violet insisted on skinny dipping, the boys scattered in every direction, the beach was over crowded with people and then it started raining.
Have no fear, I will be sending the samples to Sonia, but since they need to go all the way to Australia and I don’t want to rush her, I thought it best to snap a few on my fellows.
My nephew, Gage, wanted a photo with the Harbor Tweed Newsboy.
At least my fellows are cute, huh?
Beautiful little ladies, despite the lack of photographer skill.
Remember Cole’s story? Though he touched thousands though his sickness & death, I still cannot think of it without wincing. His Dad, Aaron, wrote a book about his experience and it is now on sale, you can purchase it here.
Cole… I Love You to the Moon and Back
Aaron Dean Ruotsala, 24-year-old husband, father, business owner, and pilot shares a true story about a heart-wrenching experience he calls the best and worst experience of a lifetime. This story will provoke you to laughter, tears, and cause you to examine yourself and your role as a human on this temporal journey. His prayer is that all who read this amazing story will learn from the experience in which they had no choice, to realize that when life brings you to the darkest, deepest, loneliest point imaginable, you will recognize what really matters in life. So, please laugh, cry, share, examine, and mostly enjoy this book that is certain to make you ask the question: “What if this happened to me?” The reality is that it could.
