Trip To Oregon

Today I would like to share some photographs from my trip to Oregon! After some excellent food and drinks in Portland, we headed to the Multnomah Falls to check out, well uh, the waterfalls. It was so amazing! I could feel the mist form the falls while walking across the little bridge. There's a huge rock at the bottom that fell from the top on Labor Day of 1995. It's about the size of a bus! The craziest thing though, is the fact that a wedding was going on at that very moment! Luckily no one was seriously injured. That would sure make an interesting wedding story.



We also drove out to Cape Kiwanda (where a scene from The Goonies was filmed). While driving around, we came across this little campground with wild bunnies! YES, wild bunnies. Best day of my life! To make it even better, I got to pet one of them!!! 





As we were driving away we saw a little huddle of babies cuddling in the rain. When I got out of the car to try and catch them all and take them with me, they scattered like cockaroaches. This was the only brave one. 



In other news...lately I've been feeling super busy....like I have no time for anything! In addition, my feet have been killing me every day as a result of standing all day in heels on a wood floor at work. So, I thought I would set a few goals for myself that I haven't have time for/forgotten about.

♥  Learn to Knit and Crochet - I tried learning a month or so ago and just got really frustrated. I want to force myself to sit down and practice more often. 

♥ Make Some Cute Books for the Etsy Shop - I have to gather supplies and refresh my memory on some things. I have some really good ideas for color palettes and patterns I want on the covers.

♥ Finish my Space at the Fremont Vintage Mall- My spot is basically a little shadow box built into the wall. Right now it doesn't look so hot and I need it to be AWESOME so people will want to look at it. I need to go back and add patterned contact paper to the white walls and add some more props...I was thinking of also hanging some little curtains on the sides.

♥ Find Cute and Really Comfortable Heels - I've been looking for some short black heels so I could match them with basically anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?

♥ Organize My House - Ever since moving I haven't really been able to get all of my things in order. I need some shelves, a dresser, a kitchen table and/or work table, and a new bed.

Guess I better get to work!

  1. I loove the Oregon pictures! And the little bunnies are to die for... I can't wait to visit. And Vancouver, those two are top on our lists.

    As far as organizing your place goes...let me know if a trip to Ikea is in order! I'll drive :-)

    1. Yes! I would love to go to Ikea (I probably need to save up some money first). We've been once since moving here but didn't get everything we needed. Do you guys still need any furniture?

  3. Wow! This was such a great post, thanks for sharing all those pictures:) That waterfall and the bridge are stunning! And those bunnies were amazing, I love the picture where you touch one on the nose!

    Good luck with all your goals. I can get frustrated with knitting or crocheting when I follow a pattern, so usually I just make something up. So if that's your problem too, that might help. If it's just the beginning stages, practise will make perfect;) Or perhaps you can see if someone can help you with it.

    Have a lovely day!

    1. Yay, thank you! I was so excited that I got to pet one of them. Thanks for the advice. I probably just need someone to sit down and help me with it. I just can't even get past the first few steps.

  5. I am dying to go to Portland, bucket list for sure. I like your goals a lot, especially the antique mall booth. I've been looking into that myself. Any tips?

    1. I just started out but so far just make sure you plan ahead and get all your supplies and set up completely ready before your starting date...maybe have backup plans too in case things don't work out. I'm also trying to make sure I don't spend more on setting up than I make hehe :)

  6. What a beautiful place! And bunnies!

    Good luck on your goals--I just recently taught myself to knit, for years I'd struggled with it and suddenly it just clicked. I've crocheted for a long time, and while I've never really gone beyond the basics, if you need any help you can get in touch with me!

    And if you find those heels, please let me know where you found them, because I've been looking for ages!
