I just got an email that a bunch of stuff from the Martha Stewart line is on sale at Michaels this weekend. Cool!

And speaking of lovely crafty shopping, if you are in the Bay Area, Jamie Marie Chan is hosting an awesome grand opening party for her new Urban Fauna Studio. I wrote more about it over at CraftStylish today and all the details are on the store site — congratulations, Jamie!

We are staying low-key for the three-day weekend… Andrew just got back from the DNC in Denver and we have a babysitter tonight (!), two birthday parties to go to, and our first-ever block party tomorrow, too, so staying in Portland sounds like fun. But I thought while it’s still August, and still summer, I would post a photo from our third-wedding-anniversary trip to Mt. Hood a few weeks ago — our favorite place. We went around Trillium Lake with Pearl, who was a little champ on her first-ever hike, and it was the most gorgeous day to be up there… the perfect summer vacation compressed into four days.
