I had a facial at Dosha (which I highly recommend) on 5th and Washington early Saturday morning, and wandered around town for half an hour beforehand.
It was so calming to traipse through the city so early in the morning, when it was almost completely empty.
Even though there was so much going on this weekend (Zine Symposium, Farmer's Market, PDX Pop Now, Brewfest, etc.) I didn't try to rush around and 'do it all,' instead opting to spend much of my time at my friend Diane's kitchen table, and in her backyard.
Leave it to Rocco's to start serving vegan pizza after I move away.
Here's Erin, who taught me how to shuck corn for the grill. I suppose it wasn't authentic shucking, as we didn't peel the husk all the way off. Diane's recipe for grilling corn on the cob is slathering the corn with butter, spinkling on some salt and pepper, then pulling the husk back up over the corn ear before setting it on the grill.
Erin also had this awesome vintage gold and white purse. I was having some major purse envy.
Diane and her brother Greg load up the grills.
Greg brought mint from his garden and raspberries from Sauvie Island and we made Carol Channing Mojitos. Rasssshhzzzberrrries!
Those tofu dogs had my name on them.
Di's 14-year old tuxedo shorthair Scout loves parties. She wore her favorite sailor collar for the occassion.
Dana kicks it in Diane's hammock, aka The Pleasure Swing.
Diane decorates her home with vintage-y kick knacks and images of animal friends. It's easy to see that I take a few domestic styling cues from her.
I was really coveting this little fella. Obviously.
