I’m off to Omaha this weekend to celebrate my nieces’ high school graduation. 💚👩🎓👩🎓💚 Thinking about this major milestone in their lives drew me to my box of memories where I keep old photos and trinkets, including a handful of old report cards from 8th grade! So, for this #tbthursday, I invite you to join …
David Bowie Hippie Chic Art
What do you get when you mix David Bowie with a hippie chic? Bold patterns, shiny fabrics, and star-dotted cheeks. ️ Now if only I could come up with some genius music….
Dressed for Avengers!
Breaking outta my flight suit to reveal my inner superhero as I run to join Captain Marvel, et al. for Avengers: Endgame at Seattle Cinerama.
Cookin’ Up a Post in a Pink Beret
What’s cookin’, good lookin’? Something new is coming to the blog and it may or may not involve a pink beret.
French hen and Vintage Blazer
The sweater-fied French hen with the pink beret stayed cozy warm tucked beneath my vintage wool blazer. I came *this close* to wearing my own newly acquired pink beret from the magnificent @maisonlamacon but decided that might be too much beret for one outfit. Stay tuned, though.
Elegant, Practical Style from Seattle
Back in August, Sassafras posted on Facebook and Instagram inviting fans to the unveiling of Ligne, a new brand by up-and-coming Seattle designer Tanu Singh.

I bet you thought I’d fallen off the face of the earth again. I do that from time to time. This time, the edge of the earth was, in part, Baltimore, Maryland. (After that, my computer died and, well, that really is like falling off the earth, isn’t it?) I was in Charm City for …
I Made a Jumpsuit. Now Help Me Choose a Belt.
It’s gross outside, ladies. I mean, the sky is orangish gray in a dystopian movie kind of way. For the last couple of weeks, smoke from wildfires in British Columbia, Eastern Washington, Oregon, and California have swirled their way to Seattle and settled in for a short summer’s nap. I can’t imagine what it must …
Bewitched by a Vintage Dress
Who watched Elizabeth Montgomery play Samantha Stephens on Bewitched? Anybody else watch reruns of that show even today? (I do! I do!) Oh, how I dreamed of being a witch when I was a kid! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to clean their house with a twitch of the nose? Plus, the …
Blogger Meet-Up Proves Vancouver’s Got Talent
I’ve been watching old America’s Got Talent clips on YouTube recently. It’s been a balm to my weary soul in these darker times. The earnestness of the people on stage who make themselves so vulnerable draws me in like a moth to a flame. It soothes something deep down inside and gives me a glimmer of …
