Another visit to the kid in Bellingham found us cruising downtown, looking for color. NW Handspun Yarns http://www.nwhandspunyarns.com/ always delivers. Here's the tree outside their shop.
Here's another decorated tree, but this one is by Mother Nature in the Sehome Hill Arboretum on the Western Washington University campus:
Make.Shift Art Space is really colorful outside and inside and was having an exhibit on Iceland.
It has exhibits, music, artists' studios and a member library.
The staircase leading to the library looked great going down (above) and coming up (below).
Back at the kid's apartment, we did a photo shoot of her coordinating thrift store favorites, a striped wool sweater and crocheted afghan in those 70s colors.
Then we indulged in the highlight of the trip -- Julia's chocolate-coffee pie that was to-die for even though it was vegan. (Actually, I guess it was less to-die for because it didn't have all those unhealthy animal fats.) Note her thrift store plate.
Have a colorful day
Those trees are really, really great. Not sure I would care for the Vegan stuff. lol
ReplyDeleteHave been mucho busy with volunteer activities, but am back in the loop now. I enjoy all of your posts, but LOVE the ones of Bellingham - you & Julia have such fun! I like the wrapped trees but am wondering how on earth they stand up to all that rain? AND, I think it's absolutely wonderful that Julia's into all that retro "stuff".
ReplyDeleteI'll have a piece of that pie, now - will she share the recipe?
