The Portland Saturday Market is in full swing. I love that the sun paid us a visit today. If you are ever in the area, stop by and say hi!

Also, thank you ladies for helping me out today! You sweetly took care of me;)

My Day at the Market

Iced Latte.

Eye Candy.

More eye candy.

When crafty ladies throw a party- they don't mess around! We made Birthday hats at this sweet Birthday Party last night. I gave my hat some major flower power! You can check out the fun pics here.

Enjoy your weekend!

We will be at the Portland Saturday
Market on Saturday.

I love this fruit salad (and her sandals).

A visit from my favorite little boy.

I love her earrings (by Leah).

The perfect accessory!

I never believed that I'd grow old, originally uploaded by neloqua.

Oregonian Pics

Silly pics in the Oregonian! The one to the left was in December (2008) at Splurge and the right was in today's paper about The Portland Saturday Market. Any publicity is good. I'll take it;) Linda, thanks for letting me know first thing this morning.

Note to self: I gotta get a new hat.

Cry Baby

Crying babies, originally uploaded by sosunshine.
I found this picture on Flickr and it represents my past Sunday at the Portland Saturday Market perfectly. Sunday was the first and only day that I have ever had my boy at the Market. Well, he obviously didn't want to be there and he let EVERYBODY know that. He was crying for no reason, kicking, yelling, pushing, throwing his toys for attention. Even an earring tree hit the ground!! I thought, "What the? They didn't tell me this when I took him home from the hospital. Do I have a receipt to take him back? " I got to give it to the Mommas & Daddy's everywhere that have to deal with meltdowns in public & private. Wow! It's like these little kiddies pull a thread from your sweater and love to watch it unravel. I'm sure there is plenty more where that came from, but I'm doing my best to stop them. If I find a brilliant cure I will be sure to let you know. Can you do the same for me?

Sunshine at the Portland Saturday Market!

49.365 - This is a Brand New Day, originally uploaded by noellalynn.

Sunshine came to Portland finally!!! My petals were starting to droop and fall off(If I were a flower). Thank you to all the lovely ladies (and gentlemen) that came out and supported us at the Portland Saturday Market. Thank you Michelle and Susan for coming by both days! Also Karen from New Jersey who visits whenever she's in town. Lindsey, Laura, Elizabeth, Susan, Leslie, Ashley,Lori,Trini, and Linda, we can't thank you enough! You have excellent taste;)

We also had a visitor that instantly attracted the ladies. You can see him here.

Frida my Twinsie

I had fun painting this big portrait of Frida a few years

ago. It hung out with me at the Portland Sat Market...

Until people would ask if that was me.

"Forget the jewelry, is that you?"

I think I would have that same unamused look on my face.

I love her, but she had to go!
