I can’t speak for the rest of them, but at least relative to the other states where I’ve lived (California and Massachusetts), Oregonians have a lot of love for their state. It’s a wonderful place to live, and to show our love we like to emblazon its outline on everything. So after we bought a […]

What I Wore: Stripes and Spots
