It's been since November 29th since I have not visited Alicia Paulson's blog, Posie gets Cozy, and it hadn't dawned on me, till an hour ago, that Miss Alicia currently lives in Portland!! She is a wonderful artist who creates the most beautiful, daintiest things, from romantic crochet cardigans to dream-like birdcages to the darling clothespin ladies featured above.
Every post is full of words of wonderment, delight, nostalgia and a sense that every day is rosey and unique even when some convince us otherwise. I have been so inspired by her artwork and outlook on life. Without realizing, I was falling in love with Portland, Oregon for the longest time through her eyes.
Even if I never meet Miss Alicia (though I would love love love to) once I relocate, it is such a comforting feeling knowing that people like her inhabit this grand City of Roses.

But there is an equally fantastic blogger I will actually meet! Miss Alyson of Unruly Things fame. Oh how I love her blog. Short words, great feelings, child-like dreams, neutral threads and sunday-afternoon-lighting-like photos. She has been stalking me a bit through the social networks of the Internets. That's totally cool with me. Also, how rockin' is that guitar of hers!
Y'all have no idea how excited and happy I am to be moving to Portland. Smiles and giggles escape me whenever I think about it.

Posie gets cozy is what started me on BLOGS! Portland is so great, you will love it. And Seattle is so close.... Sometimes I feel like if the two were just a wee bit closer it would be a combo that would make for the greatest city ever! well, Rome is hard to beat.....

the FIRST thing I thought of when you said you were moving to Portland was: That's where Alicia lives!
Take me with you!!
