Small Waist

Small waisted masseuse

This may be the world's smallest waist...seen in a coffee shop in Port Townsend. This girl, dressed as a victorian lady, corset and all, was giving chair massages. Anything to drum up business!

Fences - Port Townsend

Here are two creative fences I saw up in port townsend last month.

Fort Worden Beach - Port Townsend

This is the lighthouse at Point Wilson

The porch of the Caretaker's house.

Fishing

There is lots of driftwood on the beach here.

Looking down

I loved the texture on this rusty door.

Old hinge.

As I promised, I'm posting more photos from my trip to Port Townsend last week. These are from the beach at Fort Worden which used to be an Army post for the Artillery Division. The beach there is windswept and a the main focal point is the lighthouse.

Port Townsend Inspiration - Uptown/Downtown

An historic building on Water Street downtown.

This is Potpourri in Uptown, owned by Jeanne Moore. She's an interior designer and has the largest selection of fabric samples on the peninsula. This was like a candy store for me with all the textiles. She made these flags which you see on other shops on Lawrence Street. They are made from old swatch books. I want to try making some of these.

This is the screen of the old Rose Theatre. I saw "Away we Go". Loved it. The movies are introduced by a real live person. It's a great place.

Poppies are everywhere.

I liked this front porch in the Uptown neighborhood.

Sweet Laurette, bakery and restaurant on Lawrence.

The flower shop, Uptown.

Last weekend I drove up to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula for a two day road trip. It's an old Victorian town which was originally supposed to be the state capitol. It' on the northwestern tip of the peninsula and is known for it's great architecture and artistic community. I'll be posting several sets of pictures from my trip: this first set is the uptown neighborhood and downtown. There are cute shops and restaurants, bakeries and a wonderful farmer's market on Saturday mornings. The flowers in Port Townsend are amazing. Enjoy!
