Well first off I'm planning the "fashion" part of my photos with Sarah Giffrow my long time photographer. We are bringing back the Portland Entrepreneuresses series, and working on scheduling everyone. Should be fun, but it does make for an extra long day of shooting and traveling. But I am very excited to feature some more rad lady small business owners.
MEMORIAL DAY!
Aside from fostering dogs with Hopes Haven, I also volunteer with Newberg Animal Shelter Friends helping with fundraising and social media. A friend and I have been working hard on a fundraiser - Pets Uncorked, where wineries area donating 10% of their tasting room fees over the Memorial Day weekend. So if you are out and about in wine country, please stop by both Duck Pond and Terra Vina (both locations). There are also a handful of wineries putting out donation boxes to help raise additional funds. Please follow construction progress on the shetler here:

JULY!
Tentative date of Friday 7/6 for the Clair Vintage Inspired 5 year anniversary party! So excited and I can hardly believe I've been doing the line for an entire 5 years. But then again I can't imagine not since I love it so much. The theme is "Pretty Dress Party", and there will be dancing. More details to come as I'm firming things up this week.
A very big 5th HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my #1 dress emporium Union Rose. This should also be a fantastic party, and I believe a little bird told me that things will be going on both 7/21 and 7/22. More details soon.
Alley 33 Fashion Show! I am so excited for this, and to see the work of so many other local Portland designers. The gals that put this on did an amazing job last year, that I was like dancing in my seat when I got an e-mail about it again this spring. Also, Elizabeth Mollo will be back stage, and I want to do any show she's working on.
AUGUST!
Pink Carpet Project a benefit for Planned Parenthood on 8/2. I'm pleased to be a part of this. As you may know breast cancer runs heavily in my family. It took my Grandmothers life when I was very young, and my Aunt is a strong 2x survivor. I was appalled when Komen pulled funding to Planned Parenthood. (I may or may not have written several nasty letters and helped bomb the Komen facebook page). This show will be a great way to raise some money for women in need. Needless to say to also see some other lovely designers.
Other than that there is one other plan.
SWIMMING. Which already happened on the one rare 90 degree day we had in May. It was freezing, so the water can't do anything but get warmer. Right? That's myself (left) and Rita of Hubris Apparel (right) BRRR!
