Seattle Trip, Part 1: Retirement Celebration

Every August Adam teaches at Seattle Pacific University and while he is working, the girls and I have fun playing "tourist" in our old hometown as well as catch up with friends and family.  This year we spent two weeks in Seattle and went on lots of adventures!  We were also in town to celebrate Adam's mom's retirement!  We surprised her by coming to a special retirement lunch on her last day of work!

 The cousins had fun hiding behind the courtroom benches waiting for grandma to appear!

 Finley, Makenzie, Nathan and Jacob testing out the courtroom microphone behind the bench...and yes, it worked just fine :)

Noonday Collection sample sale coming soon!

I am so excited that Noonday Collection's fall line will be released in a couple weeks!  I have been lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the jewelry, beautifully cozy knit items, belts and bags that will be offered and I LOVE them all.  To make space for these new items I will be having an online sample sale where I will offer some previous released items at a large discount (up to 40%!!).  Cash or check will be accepted - and no sales tax or shipping charges for local pickup or I would be happy to ship the item(s) you would like to purchase for a flat $6.  Please check back, subscribe to my new blog, or friend me on facebook so you will make sure to know when this sale will take place!
