The first time I saw Carolyn’s Alturas pattern I think I actually squealed out loud. You know that embarrassing, “Oh! I looooove it!” exclamation that never fails to leave me looking around, hoping against hope that I’m totally alone. But it was worth it. Alturas is beautiful and simple in this vintage way that I […]
Maybe you’ve noticed or maybe you haven’t, but the daughter and I have moved around a lot these last few years. It’s happening again; our fifth move in three years and I’m terribly conflicted. Part of my really really really wants to go back to Portland, to the city I know and love with restaurants
