The other day I received an email regarding the upcoming release of Sex And The City 2 on DVD and Blu-ray. It presented a challenge. Literally. Warner Brother's is challenging bloggers to show off their fashion sense and promote their blogs at the same time. At first I dismissed it. Then in the throes of a boring Sunday I decided to take a look. Before I knew it I had created a "set" for each character. It was actually really fun... And easy. If you've ever played around on Polyvore you will be able to to do this with ease. I'm going to show you my creations and copy and paste the contents of the email so you can participate if it's something you'd like to do.

"When you look at a cupcake, you've got to smile." ~Anne Byrn

As you all know from my previous post I was invited by Lev, the owner/CEO of my favorite bakery Cupcake Stop, to participate in their Food Truck Face Off competition at Lord and Taylor's FNO event this past Friday night. I had an amazing night!! Lord and Taylor's event was awesome and any time I'm around my favorite cupcakes is time well spent... The best part about it? We won!!! I kinda figured we would when we ran out of cupcakes in less than 2 hours. Over 2000 cupcakes were handed out to people who stood in quite a lengthy line. Apparently Cupcake Stop is everybody's favorite bakery!! As they should be...



Lev...


My ensemble for the night...lol


My co-cupcake models:) Elisabeth And Lexi... I LOVE them!!


The crowd was great and definitely enjoyed the cupcakes...and the "truck"...lol.



Thanx to Lev and Lord and Taylor for including me!! I had a great night...xoxo

Cowboy Flavor...


We spent the weekend cooking Cowboy Style

What a wonderful afternoon in the backyard with family, friends and neighbors...
Brad and I are standing in the back with our niece.




We are all savoring the last of our sunny days here in
Western Oregon
It was a beautiful day to be outdoors cooking over the fire.




I haven't spent much time in the Thread Shed this summer.
Each sunny day found me outdoors sun dyeing, rust dyeing, collecting and pressing botanicals.



I need to get reacquainted with my sewing machine, I feel a bit rusty.
I have a few quilt show deadlines looming ahead in the next few months...
But for now, I am enjoying sunshine, good friends and yummy food.




I am also enjoying the last of the flowers blooming in the yard.
I miss them so over the winter months.
I do have plans to incorporate flower images into some textile art.




Take time to make the most of the sunshine!

Howdy from all of us in Oregon
