Hadley Hutton Art

March 14, 2011 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

This weekend we attended the Buckman Art Show and I found this pair of paintings for Hadley’s blank walls.  Butterflies, shoes and somersaulting bees. They’re so her. Sometimes that happens with art. You stumble across the perfect piece when you’re not even looking.

It was only after I had them in hand that I picked up the artist’s card and smiled at the coincidence.

My favs:
This sweet magnet set
This lovely double sided wire pendant
And this original encaustic wax mono-print painting

And congrats to Miss Hadley for being featured in the recent issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine.

Created for Portland by Portlanders

February 10, 2010 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

My friend Jim loves this city and its people so much he built a website all about it. After years of really hard work his much anticipated PortlandOregon.com made its debut last week.

It’s an amazing online community that keeps growing by the day. Learn about upcoming events, connect with friends, search for places of interest, talk about your favorite shop, or find out what other Portlanders think of that new restaurant down the street. Even promote your own business!

If you live in Portland (‘burbs included) sign up, join your neighborhood page and get to know the people and this wonderful city we all call home a little better.

This has been a real grassroots effort, started from the vision of a single Portlander who believed that the best businesses enrich the communities around them. Check it out and sign up today!

Sunday Parkways in Portland

August 17, 2009 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

We were out of town last month for Sunday Parkways in our quadrant, so today we biked over to SE Portland to check things out in the Laurelhurst and and Mt Tabor neighborhoods. Highlights included sharing juicy mangoes on a stick, reaching the summit of Portland’s dormant volcano, sharing the road with a trailer of goats and biking for miles in city streets without ever having to watch for traffic.

I didn’t remember to pack my camera along but Streetfilms.org presents a great recap of the event:

Butterflies and Cupcakes

August 11, 2009 by dailygnome 1 Comment

My sister-in-law and husband are always up to exciting endeavors. Traveling overseas. Hosting movie nights in their back yard. Rather than having a mundane dinner party or celebrating at a restaurant, Julie contacted LA Conservation Corps, rounded up a group of friends (aka volunteers) and painted a mural at a local elementary school to celebrate her birthday. Giving back. Fun with friends. Sunflowers and butterflies. Making the community you live in a more beautiful place. I can’t think of a better way to ring in the big 3-0.
