On Monday, the lovely Miss Barbara and I took a day trip to Seattle...just because. I just really needed a day away and Seattle's downtown / Pike's Market area is especially lovely during the holidays....... We wandered around the market aimlessly and decided lunch was in order so off to the lovely Pink Door on Post Alley....it has been there forever, and has never had a sign on the door, only the pink door..... turns out that on certain days during lunch and during most dinners during Xmas there are girls on trapezes above your head performing......we were in on the wrong day! Drats...could have been super cool. Anyhoo..they have a fantastic cocktail list and, of course, we had to partake...Proseco, Clear Creek Pear Brandy, rosemary simple syrup and a bit of lemon...DELICIOUS!!!!! If you are in Seattle and have the chance, give it a try...so lovely!
I love this place during the holidays. Sure wish we had a market with
this kind of atmosphere in Portland!!!.... It makes Xmas shopping
special...

This morning I was at the flower market, picking up a few things for the shop...and my, oh my, it was BUSTLING! It actually started to feel like the Xmas season. For some stoopid reason, I have not been feeling the holiday spirit...that is, until today. The smell of the cut fir and cedar boughs and wreaths was wonderful. The poinsettias were beautiful. I bought the loveliest, darkest red - almost black really - poinsettia...looks great in a black pot in the shop.......
The above photo is of my favorite succulent vendor......look at all these little lovelies......
This is actually a bent piece of wire mesh that had been icicle flocked....rustic and cool....and quite festive with this little display of bulbs and twigs.....
...it is all about the marketing....clever, very clever!
The begonias are indeed beautiful......
But so are the poinsettias.....
My iphone will only let me email 5 photos at a time so this week needed two entries. I really love the petite cyclamen...my favorite are the white ones...but they were out of them this morning at the flower market.....
One of my favorite vendors at the flower market sells nothing but boxwoods. Beautiful boxwoods. I do love a tight, clipped boxwood. How very Dutch. My favorite are the small and perfectly round clipped boxwoods. I love to put them in pots...all lined up straight in a row......
Oh the lovely tillandsias...... We have at least 6 varieties and at least 100 plants in the shop....
A delightful little bromeliad....I l.o.v.e. the flower market. See you next week!
Have a great holiday with all of your friends and family. I am
thankful for so many things!!! See you next week!!!

WHEW! There was a lot to see in a very short period of time! More later........
A pipe burst in the ceiling of my shop last night dousing half of the shop in brown sewer water - did I mention that it was brown?????? - and I have been rather occupied trying to get it all cleaned up. We are going to have to be closed - probably through the weekend. I am totally bummed!
Anyhoo......that's why we have no new episode. When Sue and I actually got together last night (while the poor sweet plumber - Steven Jr. at Ackerman Plumbing - was toiling away) I just did not have it in me to be very perky on film. Perky, ok - VERY perky...not so much. So I had a lovely carafe - seriously - OK, so half a carafe of White Sangria at LoLo on Alberta...yummy!

This was in the front window. Vintage dresser painted up in black / orange with applied gears - so cool!
They also have vintage dishes/plates, etc - I loved this little mushroom bowl....
A complete collection of dime store bamboo plates - really lovely!
They had a pair of these handsome floor lamps - love the teak legs and the shade....
Another gear dresser in lime/black. I still love the orange!
Incredibly beautiful tamboured roll top teak desk...if only I had room!
Another tamboured piece - a nice little bar perhaps? I sure do love tamboured pieces. 
A beautiful red - and I do mean RED - refinished dresser - this is where I got my red dresser I blogged about a few weeks ago...
They had a pair of these cute little side tables....
.....and lastly, a wall of Tiki goodness.......
So there you have it...Lounge Lizard on Hawthorne...get down there!!!
