I thought I'd interrupt the Portland vacation recap with a little bit of craft. It has, after all, been a while since any of my own personal creative expressions were highlighted here. (Note to self: get back in the studio!)
Kurt and I spent the weekend doing some nesting: I did some spring cleaning and house rearranging, while Kurt worked in the yard. One of the little organizational projects that showed itself to me was figuring out how to organize my growing collection of awesome earrings. It didn't take long for me to come up with an idea. I took an old wooden frame out of my studio, found a scrap piece of brass screen in Kurt's man cave, and put the two together to make this handy earring showpiece. The best part: it only took about five minutes to put together. And now I have all of my wonderful earrings on display, instead of in a knotted mound. Putting the finishing touches on the day's outfit has never been so easy.
Actually, there is a little bit of Portland in this post. If you look closely at the frame of earrings, notice the ones on the second row, second pair from the left. I got those at the Museum of Contemporary Craft's gift shop. More on that wonderful place to come.

Very nifty screen! Love your Portland pictures, too...makes me want to hit the road!
Yay she's back! I've been enjoying your Portland recap, Miss Amy. Looks like you had a great time and a very happy tum tum. The important question is...did they have any good pie shops?
By the way...nice earring collection! I'm quite impressed with your organizational skills too.;)
thanks, ladies! it's good to be back.
i did have some very yummy homemade pie just outside of portland, but that's going to have to remain under wraps until the time is right. soon, though. very soon!
re: the earrings, i have a small obsession, as you might be able to tell. but i really think earrings are the very best thing to buy, and i usually try to by a pair when i'm on a trip. they're a great and unique and small memory of a place and are, of course, little art objects to be treasured forever.
I really dig your earring display! I may have to be a copy cat.
Portland sounds wonderful. I wish we had spent more time there on our trip through...
