Rounding out our week of guest bloggers, we are delighted to have one of our favorite Oregon country girls, Jessica Stokke, share with us one of her best recipes for Foodie Friday. ~Jess & Linz…
Foodie Friday: Chai Biscotti

Just in time for that well known lovey-dovey holiday, Linz and I wanted to share with you a chocolate treat we made featuring red wine. If you are not from the Pacific Northwest than you…
Sew & Tell: Lengthen a Dress with Lace

Foodie Friday: Broiled Grapefruit
I am an unabashed lover of breakfast, as you probably know already. While I love making breakfast foods at home, my favorite weekend activity is going out to brunch. My very favorite location in a city bursting…
Foodie Saturday: Wild Mushroom and Butternut Squash Bread Pudding
With the theme of Oregon currently on my mind I have been attempting to try out some dishes which feature food grown in Oregon. This wild mushroom and butternut squash bread pudding works wonderfully as…
Foodie Friday: Sucre a la Creme
One of my favorite daily traditions is to watch the Today Show every morning. It’s a bit zany, but I love it. It was always on in the morning when I was younger and getting…

Happy 2012! Sorry for the absence on the blog in December, I was running around, busy with all the typical holiday business, with some extra added stress and fun thrown in there. Making for one…

Sew & Tell: Altering a Knit Sweater
I have this sweater I love, but it is a bit too baggy and loose for my liking. I found a great tutorial from Making This Home who had Portlander Suzannah of Adventures in Dress Making…
Foodie Friday: Veggie Packed Soup

As we hit the last day of our season of vintage, it is time for another round up of all the lovely craft projects we did not have time to try, but still admired. Wild…
Foodie Saturday: Mulled Wine
First, a couple of answers: Yes, Thanksgiving festivities distracted me from posting Foodie Friday on Friday. No, it wasn’t because I was partaking in Black Friday shopping. 🙂 Now a question: How was your Thanksgiving?…
Foodie Friday: Apple Pie Cookies (Sorta)
I was thinking the week before Thanksgiving was the prefect timing to do a post on apple pie cookies. Pie for me goes under the classic dish category and I thought it would be fun…
Book Review: My Mom, Style Icon by Piper Weiss
November’s Book Review is about a blog turned book called, ‘My Mom, Style Icon’. I thought it was perfect for this season of vintage. The book is a collection of submissions of daughters’ favorite photos…
Foodie Friday: Chicken Not Pie
With the days getting colder, I found myself fantasizing last weekend about chicken pot pie. For me, this dish is the epitome of comfort foods: it’s rich, creamy, and warms you up inside and out.…
Foodie Friday: Lentil Loaf
I do not talk often about the fact that I am a vegetarian here on the blog, but it is an important part of my life. I hope the food posts around here feel like…
Book Review: Vintage Jewelry Design by Caroline Cox
This season seemed like the perfect time to add a new monthly series where we review craft, cook (or whatever else moves us at the moment) books. In preparation for this new series I checked…
