OREGON LOVE, PART 2

Picking up where I left off, I am ensconced in Willie's wonderful condo in Hammond, Oregon, watching the ships, tugs, sea lions, geese, mallards etc. out of the window.

We stayed close to home on Tuesday and Wednesday, but on Thursday, we headed south. We went to a few cute "cottagey" shops in Gearhart;

Here's Willie with some of the FABULOUS Rhodies in bloom, and a few pretty little snowdrops.

We had fish tacos for lunch at Pacific Way in Gearhart.

Then, sustained with food and drink, we headed down to Cannon Beach.

First stop was the Sea Soles Shoe Boutique. I got a pair of Fly London Sandals in Pewter.

I am ashamed to say I introduced Willie to Fly Londons, and she succumbed
to these lovelies, which I bought last year in Santa Fe...

We went into a store whose name I forget, and both bought some pretty, light weight loose rayon print pants in black and white. (Willie and I dress alike, in case you hadn't noticed...) I'll post a picture when I get home.

Then on to Organic Boutique, where Willie and I genteely fought over a black Prairie Underground coat...I WON. Here is a picture from online, which shows the details

 and here it is on me!

After browsing in a few more stores, we crossed the street and went into

Dena's Shop on the Corner. Fabulous clothing, jewelry and shoes.

After much trying on of clothes, I fell in love with this outfit from Alembika,

an Israeli design house I love.

I asked the saleswoman for a light tee to try on the outfit with, as the top is sleeveless, and she came up with this

Don't you love the name? It's almost as good as the product, which is available in many colors and fabrics online. And, as you may have noticed, I also
got a pair of Gladiator Sandals...

After all that exhausting commerce, we went home and collapsed.

Yesterday, we took a long walk and did some errands;then we went out to dinner with two of Willie's friends. Today, we played in Willie's closet (always a fun thing to do), she took the above pictures, and we're off to a concert this afternoon. Tomorrow, I fly home.

Happy Mothers' Day!
