This blog began with stories of consignment stores and vintage stores, but is morphing into nostalgic musings about disappearing or disappeared objects, and reflections on things that endure.

Seattle and Vancouver
I just spent a week in Seattle and Vancouver. In Seattle, I stayed in an airbnb in Fremont where on Sundays there is a wonderful flea market. I picked up a Hawaiian dress there, a dress which made me feel right at home in the lush vegetation and dry warm air of the Pacific Northwest in August. I am wearing it on the beach in Vancouver (bottom photo). In that incredible city I spotted more dyed green hair, a "thing" I guess this summer (the matching balloons were very amusing), an older woman on the sky train carrying a really cool bag with a picture of Bob Marley (I wish I had a good picture of her hair which had all kinds of Native American beads), and an elderly Asian woman whose leggings captured my attention. In Vancouver I was noticing the stylishness of Asian women who were wearing loose fitting but really well cut clothes.
