Do you ever take a "Me" day?
Plucky Maidens Junk Fest at McMenamins in Troutdale was just that sort of day.
I arrived early and watched the vendors busily setting up there wares.
I strolled through the grounds just taking in the perfect weather sort of summer day.
Don't you just love the yellow pom-poms hanging in the trees?
Oh dear, I am laughing at this photo now.
See the woman leaning over checking out the wares and the smiling
one in the black dress? Too funny! I think I had better make
this picture larger, so you can see.
Just others out enjoying the day, chatting with friends, playing, and smiling.
It seemed like I was most taken by the apparel I saw.
But found a few other things appealing to the eyes.
This was a gorgeous child's dress of silk from I.Magnin's.
The softness of the colors here delighted the eyes.
A creative artist making beauty out of vintage fabrics.
I will visit her store sometime.
It was fun just to watch women trying on hats.
I stood there for awhile and watched.
This is a place one can dream, finding just the thing you know you can't live without.
What I came home with was a green metal tool box, just what I was looking for.
One day I will share it with you, as it will hold tools of art not hammers and nails.
Yes, yesterday I played.
I hope very soon you find time to play.
It is good for the soul.
Happy Weekend, dear friends!
