I put together a bright and sunny birthday box for my friend Joanna a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun to pick the contents and pack it all in a pretty way.
Today is my friend Morgane's birthday. I sent her a cute and colourful little package in the mail. All contents are from Dille & Kamille; it's such a lovely shop!
We had planned to go hiking in the Mount Rainier National Park on our way back up to Seattle from Portland. This, however, was before we realised what the weather would be like on that day. While the low cloud didn't allow us to see the imposing mountain other than on the model in the visitor's center (and did make us renounce our original plans to explore on foot for a few hours), the cold rain and sad weather didn't keep us from getting out of the car on numerous occasions to marvel at the amount of snow that was still left there in the middle of summer. We also spotted some local wildlife and a frozen, steaming lake, which we thought was pretty darn cool.
We spent two beautiful days in Portland. Time went by so fast; there was so much to see, do, and eat! We really loved it there... the books, the donuts, the aerial tram, the bridges, the amazing boutiques, markets, and restaurants... we would gladly have stayed longer!
