Our Worls is Filled with so much Beauty it Makes me Wanta Dance

Oregon sand dunes, mountains of sand reaching heights of 600 feet and stretching for miles. The dunes date back as far as 26 million years ago. Each grain of sand has been transported by wind and water to rest on the coast.  The sand is continually moving, swallowing pine forests trapping rivers creating little lakes, endless change.

And endless beauty ....

There are a few photos, would be more however the internet is painfully slow

Enjoy!

Vintage Inspiration/overload

Wowa!!! Portland Oregon is full of secondhand and vintage treasures. Everthing from Goodwill bargain shops to a warehouse full of vitage madness, so much stuff you find yourself squinting to see one perticular gem.

There are mainy vintage shops in the downtown core. Theses shops are stocked with individually selected items, some which are mind blowing and pricy:Avalon, Ray's Ragtime, Magpie are a few of the vintage shops.

Buffalo Exchange is a great place for secondhand clothing. Here they do both buying and selling right in the store, good prices, quality clothes and a mens section equal in size with the ladies. http://www.buffaloexchange.com/

The Goodwills have high end botiques (which seem to be full of leather Coach purses) to warehouses full of row after row of  overflowing plastic bins, hardcore.

The Hawthorne area is were you want to go  if you are looking for the most bang for your buck, and a shopping experience. There are a few vintage shops Red light clothing exchange which has an excellent selection of clothing at good prices, http://www.redlightclothingexchange.com/.  Vintage pink has a great selection of house hold collectables, furniture and clothing, it was a little high on the price rang,  http://www.ilovevintagepink.com/.

House of vintage http://www.houseofvintage.net/ is the shopping experience, room after room of antique and vintage. I would say have a good snack drink lots and enter with 2 hours minumum.
