<br />
A couple cold and rainy walks with Marley, and a few errands.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I went thrifting and found an ugly brass (but vintage) picture frame. When I got home, I promptly cleaned the glass, and spray painted it white. Today it was dry, so I slipped in one of my prints...<br />
<br />

I had a couple orders to wrap for shipment tomorrow. That's always exciting, and I always pray the customer is MORE satisfied than what the pictures show.<br />
<br />
Then, I completed a custom order for what I suspect is going to be a LOVELY wedding...<br />

Sigh.....<br />

Anyway, on to pictures. I need to take more pics of my tiny work studio. I really do love it. With the trees in front of the window, it's like a little treehouse in which to create.<br />
<br />
Like a<a href="http://www.toonarific.com/show.php?show_id=2452" target="_blank"> Monchichi</a>. They live in the trees. Ah, early 80's cartoons.<br />

<br />
1 - Downtown Portland is a challenging place to have a craft fair when you are a VENDOR. Tables, boxes, fake Christmas tree, chairs, oy vey. I was blessed, though. I got great parking all 3 days.<br />
<br />
2 - They provided tables, but only 5'. You'll see my items are slightly crammed onto the table. Tee hee.<br />
<br />
3 - Occupy Portland. Ok, they came out in droves on the 17th, the last day of the fair. I think they must have heard about my felt hair clips. Tee hee. I'm sure scenes like this one kept little old ladies away, and office workers in their cubbies...<br />
<br />

Oh, i'm sorry. I forgot to mention this was literally happening outside of our sweet little bazaar windows.<br />

Anyway, I made a few sales, as well as a GREAT connection.<br />

<br />
This will be my 2nd craft fair of the Fall/Winter season, and I am excited! There will be pics to come, of course. Last time, I was so overwhelmed, I forgot to take pictures. Also a the last fair, I broke even. I made back my booth fee, and a little extra. That was in September. This month, i'd love to do better!<br />
<br />
Anyway, tons of new items in shop. I've been a crafty little bee the past couple of weeks, preparing for this month's fair, next months, Christmas gifts, and of course, Etsy!<br />
<br />

Excited and nervous, yes, but i'm more anxious than anything else. I cannot wait to have more space for a Little Card to grow!</p>
<p>Ironically........this will actually be the smallest square footage I have ever lived in, AND the first time that i've inhabited a work/live space. This gives a whole new meaning to a Little Card....ha.</p>
<p>I was at Ikea with a friend last night, and a quote on the wall, that I am about to screw up, said something like :</p>
<p>"SMART STORAGE CAN ACTUALLY DOUBLE YOUR SPACE"</p>
<p>Something along the lines of that. Anyway, that is going to have to be my motto when I get in there. I love challenging spaces though, I always have. They have more character, and it seems Portland has tons of offbeat style apartments, duplexes, etc. </p>
<p>Anyway, I will be posting many pics soon. Stay tuned...</p>

I love the beauty and majesty of the countryside,  I periodically NEED to be near the ocean, and I love the mystery of the woods. The beauty of Oregon is we have all of that.</p>
<p>No, seriously.</p>
<p>An hours drive can take you to any one of those locations.  And I love them all.</p>
<p>But i'm a city girl.</p>
<p>Gimme cozy bars and coffee shops. City shopping. Oversized shades for people-watching..."No she didn't wear that".</p>
<p>I've accepted our 8-9 months a year "rainspell". I didn't realize that until I discovered I could not stop drawing or painting rain, clouds, coffee, overcoats, books, umbrellas.  Let the. City obsessing begin again....</p>
<p>Cityscapes coming soon. Yay!<br>

What a ride.<br />
<br />
Free street fairs in the dead of summer are exciting and exhausting!<br />
<br />
I had great help from my dear friend and my nephew, introduced many to A Little Card, learned a lot and even sold a little!<br />

I've been ripping out each page, and delicately upcycling them has confetti, garland, etc.<br />
<br />
I'm already to the N section.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I adore these pages. I've used them to make tiny notecards, stamped with birds.<br />
<br />
I love vintage, I love cards, and of course I love birds!<br />

I am still catching up from housesitting, the 4th, Etsy orders (ya-to the hooo!) and a ton of homework (giving homework during the holiday?What gives?), but let me say, I am blessed. These blogs rock and I am so excited for these giveaways.<br />

Portlanders camp out in the heart of downtown, just to get a good curb spot. Daring. My Mother and her friend, God bless them, got up at 4am just to "set up and drink our coffee and chillax".<br />
<br />
My Mom still says chillax.<br />
<br />
It really is a wonderful parade, though. It's a beautiful way to usher in Summer.<br />
<br />
Anyway, while we're at it, let's just bask in the color, shall we?<br />

I love cards! I believe they are the gift before the gift. Not to mention you capture a tiny piece of someone in their handwriting. Kids scribbles become words, words become phrases, then before you know it they are writing you piece of their story in your card.<br />
<br />
I wanted to do a line of simple, stamped cards. So far, I am loving it, and I hope you will too!<br />
