I had my first roll of film from my Diana Mini processed today! There are some decent shots, but most are so so. I’m going to pick up some new film tomorrow night and give that a go!
Double exposure.
Carkeek Beach, Seattle.
Winthrop, WA.
Coulee City, WA.
Yeager Rock, Central WA.
I found these guys a few weeks ago at Silver Platters in Seattle. Professor Herman F. Schnitzel was a must!
This was at Silver Platters as well. I’m from Pennsylvania so I couldn’t say no! I haven’t given this a listen, but I’m sure it was well worth my cash money.
And look at these awesome Seattle World’s Fair postcard records! They’re fairly warped but 100% awesome! I found these at the Fremont Vintage Mall in Seattle.
Records, see?
This was a super find on Etsy! This is a record from the Roy Rogers & Dale Evan Museum. AND it plays “Happy Trails.” It sound perfect too!
I’m kind of scattered this week. Eric and I are getting ready for some travel this weekend! There will be fossil pits and camping and Oregon!
We took a drive on Chuckanut Drive today.
You can see Puget Sound while driving on Chuckanut Drive.
We went to Larabee State Park. We were here last and discovered a fun beach park. You have to walk through a wooded area and then on railroad tracks to get to the beach.
There were some fantastic ferns along the path.
We saw some deer walking on the tracks and then they disappeared. And then we saw this. Deer on the beach! Kind of surreal.
We also saw purple star fish! I was just complaining a few days ago that I never saw a star fish!
They were big!
These guys were all over the place. We saw at least 100 of them while walking along the beach.
Sunnin’.
There were a few clumps of these sea creatures.
Look how big they are!
Lovely!
When we left the State Park we drove a little farther north to Bellingham, WA. There was an antique store I wanted to visit and then we stopped by the super vegan friendly Co-op for lunch. We ate a wonderful tofu sandwich, chocolate truffles, and a peanut butter rice crispy treat with chocolate on top. Goodness!
I found a few vintage appliques at the antique store that I’ll use for a crafting project I have in mind.
I think this one is my favorite.
I also picked up these super cute buttons!
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the past few days. Fantastic! What song is stuck in your head?

After passing through the mountain we made it to the Wild West town of Winthrop.
My co-worker was actually in Winthrop for the weekend as well. He’s the happy guy standing by the pole.
Some cowboys and cowgirls were dancing before the parade started.
They were rather fun to watch!
There were firetrucks.
Old cars.
Stagecoaches.
All sorts of carriages and buggies.
There was an authentic Gypsy wagon in the parade! This was my favorite piece in the parade.
Some roller derby girls skated down town.
Even the local septic service company had a float in the parade. Notice the disturbing costume?
The septic company kept their candy in a toilet. Very clever.
Hot air balloon equipment!
There were some fun activities for the 49er Days weekend!
There were two or three marching bands parading down the street.
Cute little barn!
This was the largest horse parade in Washington. I love horses if you didn’t know!
What a sweet little pony! That is Sparkles the pony.
That’s a gorgeous horse! Notice the dogs riding along?
My sister and I used to ride on a horse together like that!
Fuzzy legs all around.
Pack mule line.
These guys had a little skit they performed in the street. We actually saw them at the Fourth of July parade in Everett last year.
Winthrop has a few of these saddle stools in town. I am IN LOVE!! I want one or four of them!
Stay tuned for the last part of our trip! We finally make it to the Washington desert.
The flowers have been loving the Seattle sun this week!
I noticed today that even the lupines along the highway are in bloom.
Eric had a dentist appointment today so I went to Mighty O and snagged some donuts for us! Spoiled spoiled vegan!
I’ve been shooting with both of these lately. It’s a fun change to go from holding the hefty Canon to the plastic Diana mini!
Sorry I haven’t posted the second part of our day trip from this past weekend! The weather here in Seattle has been beautiful this week so I’ve been outside laying in the sun. I haven’t made myself sit down and write that post yet. I have a slight sunburn from the wonderful 70 degree temps. we’ve been having.
A few weeks ago I signed up for a vegan swap. You were given the name and address of another vegan blogger and you were to send them a package with your favorite vegan goods. The package from my vegan swapper arrived today! I will do a full post about this in a few days, but I was super excited to see the box on my front porch today!
