Jen planned a non-stop vacation for us in Portland.
We visited B.J. at work at Intel. We went shopping. We visited Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft. One interesting exhibit was one in which each item of clothing had a story to it. It was bought off of EBay and there had to be a story connected with the item or it wasn’t added to the collection. One was a flapper dress from the “roaring twenties” It was the narrowest dress I had ever seen The wearer must have been tiny. The dress had blood splatters on it from a stabbing the wearer had witnessed! Quite the story.

I like the artist Hilary Pfeifer, Bunny With a Tool Belt. She has items in the gift shop. We bought the book Arfabet
Arfabet by Hilary Pfeifer
And Jenn had a surprise for me. Hilary Pfeifer lives in Portland. Jenn contacted her and arranged for us to met her at her studio. What a rare treat!! We had her sign our books.
