things 4 sale


We sold clothes in Seattle town over the weekend, right in the meridian in front of Melissa's home.  With my upcoming move and her ever impending eventual move - we collaborated on a front yard stuff sale.  I brought my lovely Victoria-n friend along as well and it ended up being a fun Washington vacation, more than anything.  I liked the way the yard sale brought everyone in the neighborhood together, in one space.  I enjoyed hearing people's stories as they rummaged through our clothing and books, and watching the children play with Nikita-the-cat as their mom strolled around. It was also fun, the three of us, sharing cherries and farmer's market strawberries along the side, waving at the people who came along.

Last weekend I took the ferry on over to Washington to go visit my close friend Melissa.  Here are some of the sweetest moments from my trip!

pike place market


When the earliest signs of spring were showing and Melissa and I, sharing another sweet Sunday together, walked to the infamous Pike Place Market in Seattle.  Melissa lives conveniently right down the road, which, despite the tall buildings all around, made me feel that I was in a seaside village.  The local fish tosses, hand-dipped maple doughnuts, some of the most delicious fruit I've ever had, I ate it all up like a tourist.  With the mossy adventure the previous day, it really was the loveliest weekend.
This roll of film had a bit of light seep in, but upon looking at them again, I kind of like it - all that Seattle fog and mist finding an outlet.  


And so, it is undeniable that I have become increasingly more absent from this space, but well, with the fresh roadside color, morning birdsong, and the later sunlight hinting at long summer days - I want to share all of this again!  I hope to begin tending the site and using it as an excuse to capture all the positivity that has been sprouting up around - a way to keep me in check, really, and keep my friends scattered all around updated with the daily happenings too. Hopefully it will be inspiring somewhere along the way.

Speaking of, I read this today:

"In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?" -Gabrielle Roth
