d96p
Ooohhh my… I fell into another linen clothing nest with wonderful d96p Linen Clothing! Edita makes a wealth of beautiful made to order, versatile garments that look good for spring and summer mostly, but, with some heavier layers, would become four season gems. So many sizes, colors, and prints! My favorites right now are oversized linen tunic dress, the midi linen flare dress, the short linen tunic dress, the loose linen maxi dress, the blue strip linen top, the long sleeves linen blouse, the loose fit linen tunic, the oversized linen short-sleeved top, the pleated linen skirt, and the linen summer blazer. I don’t know what’s happening with me, but I’m loving that yellow mustard colored linen! More HERE.

Come out, vintage lovers! Portland’s annual Plucky Maidens Summer Junk Fest is happening this Friday, July 21!

There will be dozens of amazing vintage dealers to peruse and score beautiful home goods, clothing, accessories, jewelry, textiles, toys, paper goods, vintage office supplies, and lots of other collectibles. Plus, the Oaks Park Midway is open during the event!
Along with a roster of fantastic vendors, there will be food trucks, beer, wine, live music, and tons of FREE PARKING. It’s always a really good summer day to play hooky from work!

Friday!
Happy Friday, friends! I am coming to you from St. Paul, Minnesota. We’re back visiting family again, but this time it’s for fun stuff like birthdays, tacos, and tequila. We even get a few visits with our friends here this time around. So far, I am resisting my urge to go vintage shopping and estate sale sailing because I tend to have good luck here and know we’d suddenly need to rent a truck to drive everything back to Portland. We’ll see if I stay strong! It’s tempting though, right?? Have the most wonderful weekend! xo Jen

PDX Event: Stars Summer Sale
STARS ON SALE • Thurs July 13 thru Mon, July 17 • 7027 SE Milwaukie Ave • MORE INFO
Local vintage emporium, Stars Antiques, is having their huge 5 day summer sale — starting today! All 3 of their shops (on the same block!), in Portland’s Westmoreland shopping district, will be overflowing with goods that all the dealers bring in and mark down for this event. It spills out onto the sidewalks every year and is an insanely fun vintage rabbit hold to fall down. If you can, I recommend going a couple different days during the 5-day sale. I always find tons of amazing things and you totally lose track of time while in the treasure hunting zone. SO MANY GOOD THINGS!
If you’ve already been eyeing something, there’s a good chance you’ll get it for an even a better deal. Make sure to stop by all three: Stars Antiques (7027 SE Milwaukie Ave), Stars & Splendid (7030 SE Milwaukie Ave), and Stars Too (7011 SE Milwaukie Ave) — all open from 11AM to 6PM. As always, I also recommend that you go to lunch at Jade Bistro for lunch — the vermicelli salads are perfect on hot days!

Alex Crane
I’m not normally a baseball hat person, but the linen and leather caps from Alex Crane could change that! Actually, all of Alex’s unisex collection is beautiful for everyone. The linen caps, totes, bags, shirts (unsure of boob gap situation for the button-ups, but they look good on the fellas!) and shorts are all versatile and immensely wearable. I love all of the prints — just soft colors with a lovely windowpane check print. I’d be into getting one of everything for my husband, but, for myself, I’m looking at the Whitewash Sun Cap, the Night Sun Cap, the Stone Sun Cap, all the corresponding tote bags, and the linen beach towels!
