Two highlights from a recent trip to Seattle—mee Two highlights from a recent trip to Seattle—meeting Rhône and Matilda, the excellent editors at large for @sip_magazine. 

It’s true that dogs make everything better, even magazines! Thanks to @thisismysip for a tour of the fabulous HQ. 

I’m always delighted to contribute to this fantastic publication and after visiting the archives found this 
favorite cover from a story with @erincjames 💫 circa 2016 when we detailed how to host the ultimate summer soirée with a dreamy photo shoot on Vashon Island. (Cue nostalgia). 💕

Heading into the holiday weekend thinking about fa Heading into the holiday weekend thinking about fabulous pop art and pink wine. You’ll find both (and more) @artistblockwine, a tasting room and art gallery in Oregon’s famous Dundee Hills. 

It’s also the art studio for Anna Sweet, a contemporary artist known for her colorful & playful donut sculptures. It’s the perfect spot to launch a summer state of mind.

Most days are spent typing away on a laptop, but t Most days are spent typing away on a laptop, but the special ones are where beekeeping dreams come true. 

Thanks to farmer extraordinaire Ashley for explaining the fascinating world of honey bees @abbeyroadfarm. 

It’s one of many Oregon vineyards that’s part of the state’s Bee Friendly Wine Tour with the  @oregonbeeproject. 🐝🍇🌼

Check out upcoming events at vineyards where you can “sip, snap and support the bees.” In addition to @abbeyroadfarm, @fairsingvineyard, @remywines, @lumoswine and @wintershillwine will host bee programs this summer.

One of the many wonders of the Pacific Northwest: One of the many wonders of the Pacific Northwest: the abundance of waterfalls. Completely mesmerized by Washington’s Snoqualmie Falls, cascading an astounding 268 feet over moss-covered granite cliffs—just steps away from @salishlodgespa. 

On a recent visit, we heard the summer sunsets are pure magic. But there’s something equally enchanting about this PNW mist.

One of my favorite spots to frequent when visiting One of my favorite spots to frequent when visiting Cannon Beach is Artist Alley. And I loved writing about these fantastic artists along with so many others who make Cannon Beach one of America’s 100 Top Art Towns. 

Read more in the new Cannon Beach Visitor’s Guide, excerpts below on two cool galleries you can visit: 
@drearosefrost’s @shearwatergallery and @basaltcannonbeach 🌊

At Shearwater Studio & Gallery @shearwatergallery, Drea Frost is often painting her expressive seascapes in a sliver by the window, while her gallery assistant — a toy poodle named Freddie — greets guests. 

Her vibrant work captures the beauty of coastal life from fishers at sea to surfers smoothly riding waves. When not painting, she’s often chasing waves on her own board. 

In addition to her work, Frost shows a collection of regional and local artists in a variety of mediums from driftwood sculptures by Josh Bluett to wood-turned bowls by Brett Williamson. 

Other standout artists she spotlights include gyotaku by Duncan Berry (@byland_bysea_byair) and wool and plant dye tapestry from Kyla Sjogren. 

Head to the neighboring Basalt Studio @basaltcannonbeach and you can meet ceramicist Michelle Valigura in her light-filled studio and showroom. A dedicated sculptor, Valigura creates ceramic pieces in the form of wall art in earthy hues. Her professional background includes designing for stop motion animation, including Elf and the Simpsons. 

A nexus for pop-up events, the shop stocks art and handmade clothing, as well as a surprisingly robust culinary selection. Look for ramen from around the world, tinned fish and a selection of women-made wines and sake.
