We made it to one evening of Bumbershoot last weekend and sneakily got into the “sold-out” main stage show (Stone Temple Pilots).  Great show.  I only had a few minutes to browse the poster art exhibit, which is probably a good thing because I *could* have spent HOURS in there.  SO much talent, let me tell you.  I ended up buying a print by Gary Houston of Portland.  It was perfect because I have been looking for some Mexican Folk Art for my kitchen and his style is very reminicent of this, plus he has quite the sense of humor.  He does not have my particular poster on his site, but just to give you an example of his work. . .

Perhaps I will “get my act together” and post a photo of the framed piece when I get the kitchen decorated.

What can I say?  I’m a fan.  [And I'm the whitest girl I know.]  This book is for any white person who can laugh at themselves…okay, and any person who likes a good laugh at the expense of white culture.  It’s funny because…it’s true.  I had read the entire blog to my family and friends and nearly squealed when I found the book on the “Staff Recommended” aisle at Elliott Bay Book Co. this weekend.  I don’t normally buy books (other than cookbooks), but I couldn’t pass this one up.  You absolutely must take a read.

…and if you can’t rush to your local Barnes and Noble RIGHT AWAY….take a peek at one of my favorite entries…

just loving this jewelry…

I discovered Silver Cherry while walking through the market last weekend.   These silver pieces are created by a local Seattle designer and are just breathtaking.  Each piece is unique and yet all exhibit nature in an inspiring and detailed way.
