Like I said in my previous post, my mom came to visit me last weekend and I took lots of pictures! Most of them are of food (don't judge us!). This will just be a picture post (with captions)...
|
One of my goals before my mom came was to finish painting these canvases (they were black when I got them...for free!). |
|
And I DO! |
|
After getting our hair and brows done at Dosha. |
|
Pit Bull Magnets that look like my 2 favorite pits! |
|
an entire stairway of purses |
|
Lunch @ McMenamins |

They even had tails :) |
|
Getting ready for the Multnomah banquet. |

My mom being a good donor :) |
|
Clever. |

Sunday morning breakfast. |
|
Thanks nice Besaw's server. |
|
Besaw's kitchen. |
|
Coffee in Cannon Beach, OR. |
|
Well, not just coffee, specifically "French Kiss Lattes". |
|
This was like a beautiful little village of shops. |
|
It looks like we're about to drive into the Pacific Ocean. |
|
I took a lot of pictures of the OR coast because I just thought it was so beautiful, even in miserable, cold rain. |
|
Haystock Rock. |
|
I look awful in this picture, BUT the wind was blowing so hard and it was freezing...so, I'll take it. |
|
My mom had a crappy, $3 umbrella that was pretty much worthless (this picture was taken in Seaside, OR). |
|
In Cannon Beach we ate crab cakes. |
|
From this place. |
|
After we ate the skies cleared up for a few moments, so we took some more pictures. Beautiful! |
|
Daffodils are blooming everywhere in Portland, it seems. |
|
Monday morning breakfast of kolaches & coffee from this cute place on Belmont, that is owned by HOUSTONIANS! |
|
I love it! |
|
Pretty lattes from Stumptown. |
|
My favorite thrift store. Half the stuff in my apartment came from here. |
|
A new skirt, new shirt, and funny magnet. I have a thing for funny cat stuff. |
|
My mom bought me this ring. I like it because it reminds me to hope extravagantly. |
|
Monday lunch at The Observatory. |
|
At an antique mall in SE Portland. See, even in Oregon, you shouldn't mess with Texas. |
|
My grandmother had canisters like these! |
|
Say hello to my new purse. |
|
Say hello to the biggest crouton you've ever seen; I had to cut it into 4 bites! We had appetizers and dessert at Papa Haydn's, but I forgot to take pictures of the desserts :( and went back later to take pictures of the outside of the restaurant. But it was so fun. |
|
Tuesday morning breakfast at Pine State Biscuits. |
|
Splitting the Reggie. |
|
Apple buttttttttter! |
|
Baby cupcakes at Saint. |
|
Decorating my apartment. I've wanted to frame these old recipes from my grandmother for years & years. |
|
"Pies Men Like" - I adore this one! |
|
Rose pictures in my bathroom. I took these in Portland back in 2006, my first trip to the City of Roses. |
|
Flower hooks near my front door. |
|
Pies Men Like above my kitchen table. |
|
Marshmallow Roll and "Cookies that make themselves". |
|
Lattes and reading at Palio. |
|
"Tex-Mex" in Portland. |
|
Galveston? Really? |
|
Margaritas and chips & salsa. I was desperate for the food of my native land. Ha. |
|
This is not a taco. This is a barbeque sandwich in a tortilla, but it was still tasty. |
Overall, an amazingly fun 4 days with my mother! Just what I needed!

Very cool! Your Aunt is GREEN with envy. She wants to visit you in Portland, bad. Can she take the dog?
