I \u2665<\/strong> Portland! Wow… what a lovely city. Tree-lined streets, beautiful old homes, and <\/em>the location of the latest GIRL CRUSH workshop & tea party!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sigh ~<\/em> we had such an amazing day in the gorgeous home of painter Lisa Golightly<\/a>. It was literally the perfect setting for an artsy tea party. Our group was made up of all kinds of people… artists, a poet, an actress, an art\/design student, an advertising art director, and a couple of “crafty mamas”\u00a0{… but that’s a story for another day}<\/em>. After a few scrumptious breakfast pastries, delivered by Elephants Deli<\/a>,\u00a0and more than a couple of cups filled with Stumptown coffee<\/a>, we spent the morning talking uplifting inspirations, crushing insecurities, and everything<\/em> in between.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and after all of that talking, listening, laughing, and cursing {yes, it’s true… the occasional bit of non-teaparty-esque language may have been dropped when referring to our always annoying inner critics}<\/em>, we needed a little sustenance to help us make it through the artsy afternoon that lay ahead:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

YUM! After an insanely delicious lunch from Elephants {note: fig & goat cheese tartlets might just be the best thing ever invented}<\/em>, we moved on to these! Chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet cupcakes decorated with tiny sugar-coated rose petals & mint leaves! Thanks so much to Cupcake Jones<\/a> for delivering these little bites of heaven to our doorstep!<\/p>\n

Ok… sugar? Check. More coffee? Check. Time to head downstairs and make stuff:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have seen so much of Lisa’s work<\/a>, but never in person. Let me tell you… it’s fantastic! What an inspiring space to roll up our sleeves and get creative:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So much fun! The folks at Plywerk<\/a> donated a whole box of gorgeous bamboo panels for us to use for our collages. Paint, bits of found paper, and a few gold animals… ahh, <\/em>now that’s an afternoon well spent!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have worked on these forever! But alas, somehow this lovely day in Portland had come to an end. Thanks so much to everyone that came {Melissa, Laura, Jessica, Autumn, Monica, and Cait}<\/em>, and thanks so much to Lisa for hosting… I loved every second of this amazing day! xo<\/p>\n
