Finding Ruche

I just recently found Ruche while visiting the Paper n Stitch blog. Let me just say, I have really been missing out. Not only do they have beautiful, dreamy clothing they also carry some super cute shoes. I’ve always been a thrifty girl, but in this economy I’ve been extra frugal, and Ruche is easy on the pocketbook. At Ruche you can find a great pair of shoes for under $50. Here are some of my favorites.

*The Ruche website seems to be down right now. I'll get the links posted when its up and running again.

Florence

On Friday we drove down to Eugene to drop off three of my photographs that have been accepted into the University of Oregon’s 2009 Pacific Northwest Art Annual. Click here to learn more about the Art Annual.

Eugene is about 2 hours away from our home so we decided to make it an overnight trip and do some exploring. On Friday, after dropping off my photographs, we drove out to Florence. Florence is a quaint, little town on the Oregon coast. We walked around town and I managed to get a few photographs before the rain started up again. It had been raining most of the day with an occasional glimpse of the sun.

On the way back to Eugene we stopped at an old, rundown gas station and I was able to take photos there until it started raining again. On Saturday, we headed south to Cottage Grove and drove the covered bridge tour. I’ll have more photos from the gas station and the covered bridge tour soon.
