How About a Wearable Potted Plant?You know how it goes. You're sitting at your kitchen/computer/sewing table (in my case, the same table serves all three purposes), staring limpidly at your laptop, wondering "how is it that I have ever, <i>ever</i> managed to think of anything to write in the past?" and then a little idea seems to materialize from absolutely nowhere: "I wonder if it is possible to wear plants as a garment?"<br />
<br />
Well, my thought wasn't from nowhere. There are 15 plants in my kitchen and living room right now, breathing my air. A quick search revealed that there are currently no living garments available on the market, however there are some lovely living jewelry options, both on Etsy.<br />
<br />
Coleen Jordan has the good fortune of being the top search result for wearable plants for several dozen Google pages, and no wonder! Check out what she has done and buy, people, buy, buy, buy!<br />

I'm not sure what is more exciting about Jordan's planter - that it allows me to take my salad with me around my neck, or that she made it via a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7h09dTVkdw">3D printer</a>, which is the coolest damned gadget I've ever wanted to own.<br />

This morning, I awoke to a lake in the kitchen where the dishwasher had flooded. Farewell, wood floor! What's a girl to do when the waters of broken appliances are rising all around her?<br />

I played with blocks. My new Fred and Friends block set never fails to make me happy. I bought mine at the <a href="http://themodernmercantile.wordpress.com/">Modern Mercantile</a>. These blocks have a different take on learn the ABCs and 123s. For example, L is for litterbox. Z is for zombie. Build towers of ironic fun! <br />

What's that?There is this weird yellow ball floating in the sky here in Seattle right now. Someone told me that this benevolent, warm thing is called the sun, and since it has been so long that I forgot what the sun actually IS, I went in search of a few sunny items to remind myself. Behold, the sun shineth upon Seattle (even if it is still cold and windy at the same time), and these cheery things are perfect for a spring day outside.<br />

"These have always brought me luck," she said, and pulled a pair of glittering nuggets from her ears and set them on a small table where a dashing man was gambling...and losing. I was enamored with her boldness (rather, the boldness of the person who wrote the commercial, but still, she said it boldly). Now, below, I present my favorite collection of Elizabeth Taylor garments throughout the years.<br />

She had class, and a lot of spunk. Another piece of old Hollywood glamor is gone forever...if only our new starlets could weather time and scandal as she did.<br />

Finding just the right dress can be a hair-pulling experience, and any bide to be will tell you, and although others may fully appreciate or understand what you are looking for, when you see the right dress, you will know it, deep in your gut. Best places to buy prom dresses?<br />
<br />
Check out BCBG for occasionally affordable but always well-made prom dresses. This year my favorite from BCBG is the Marley Tiered Taffeta Dress, with layers of white taffeta cascading to the floor.<br />

Ok, so not every prom queen can drop a thousand dollars on a prom dress - what's a girl to do? Check out vintage or handmade prom gowns! After all, prom gowns were traditionally made by the girl who would be wearing the gown (or her mother). A vintage gown that has been handmade by a former prom girl has so much more meaning and history, and you <i>know</i> that no one else will show up for the dance wearing the same dress as you! Here are some of my faves from Etsy:<br />

</tbody></table>Suddenly everyone I know is pregnant. Well, not <i>everyone</i>, although my friend Jon did seem to have a maternal glow the last time I hung out with him. Perhaps it is just my age, perhaps those movie stars really did start a trend, but it seems like I am surrounded by pregnant ladies, including my freshly minter sister-in-law. I am going to be an AUNTY! <br />
<br />
This has all made me start thinking about baby fashion, whatever that means, and somehow I stumbled upon <a href="http://suviainoa.com/">Suvi Ainoa</a>. My reaction was instant and loud: "I will have children just so I can dress them in Suvi Ainoa baby clothes!" I hollered to my startled cat, and my even more started husband. Seriously though - how else can I justify my urge to buy this polka-dotted jacket?<br />

</tbody></table>This is awkward. The two toddlers upstairs are throwing things at each other and screaming. I've just changed my mind, but you had better believe my little niece will be seeing some of this baby couture coming her way. The more I browse through the website, the more impatient I feel for the little nipper to be born so I can clothe her! <br />
<br />
Suvi Ainoa is also available at <a href="http://magpielovely.com/shop/">Magpie Lovely</a>, which happens to sell Poor Jean as well. Coincidence?<br />

<br />
Hey, guess what? I get all of my holiday shopping done in October. Sometimes people say "wow! you're really on top of things!" Actually no, I am not at all on top of things. Three unfinished dresses are sitting on top of my sewing machine, the dishes are desperately trying to scrub yesterday's breakfast off of themselves in the sink, and I can't find the remote control because it's somewhere on the couch...underneath a wool blanket, annual taxes paperwork that I finished two weeks ago, a stack of Vogue magazines, two leather jackets, and a sleeping tabby cat. I get my shopping done in October because I like to shop. Buy. Spend. Using others as an excuse for me to fling handfuls of money away with a twinkle in my eye just makes me feel better about myself. <br />
<br />
"Why are you telling me all of this?" you ask. <br />
<br />
Because, it's important to remember that shopping local is SUPER easy when you've got nothing else to do, and after all, hey! it's February! Shop local during the holidays? It's hard to find the time. Shop local when the sloppy Seattle rain is blowing at your house sideways and the heavy gloom makes you want to write and self publish your own poetry? Easy! All of these reasons (and dish-washing avoidance) is why I attended the tiniest craft show I have ever seen today in South Lake Union. My momma's birthday is coming up, and since I know she never reads my blog I can confidently announce that I bought her a pretty little necklace from<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/madelineandfrancine"> Madeline and Francine</a>, and a cute little salt shaker vase of button flowers thingy by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/WannaBRockstar">Wanna B Rock Star</a> so she will always have something to keep her chipper. For my husband I got this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/53829895/big-bow-pillow-cover">gorgeous pillow cover</a> by Soraam...because he loves home decorating... and as a little pressie for myself (a reward for shopping local), I picked up this large sachet filled with cloves, lavender, and cedar from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61066602/the-little-owl-that-keeps-the-moths-away">Sunday Drive Designs</a> to keep my unmeantionables smelling dreamy. <br />
<br />
And what did YOU do today?<br />

Time to don your white loafers and take the yacht out for a spin. No yacht? Me neither. Non-yacht-owners take heart, though, because even if you can't tootle around the bay drinking white wine spritzers and listening to smooth jazz, you can still look the part with some fantastic nautical vintage!<br />
<br />
To get in a nautical mood I took a trip with my best buddy down to Westport, Washington, which looks something like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO54Aowha_zbch7c0sIfBo9c4OFSocxF9KZkxWwzrl563GsDiSua7jhSxBoptfP8Ukn4Qa66tW0PfO6xBzGUuCJ1vfvfYIcRme314MYbR0FWar2j4RKnis0OacZjhTOUs6SSp0j3iGaDA/s1600/GEDC1010small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO54Aowha_zbch7c0sIfBo9c4OFSocxF9KZkxWwzrl563GsDiSua7jhSxBoptfP8Ukn4Qa66tW0PfO6xBzGUuCJ1vfvfYIcRme314MYbR0FWar2j4RKnis0OacZjhTOUs6SSp0j3iGaDA/s320/GEDC1010small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Ahhh...Washington beaches. Imagine away the gray, stinging sand, gray sky, and gray water and you'll see how easy it is to get in a festive, yachty mood! Back at home, near Seattle, the gray is just as intense - which is why I decided to list all of my nautical items a little early this year. Check out Poor Jean's vintage snotty yachty collection so far.<br />

This little gift roundup may be Seattle-focused, but finding good local gifts for your friends and family this year is as close as a Google search or a stroll around your own city.<br />
<br />
Here are a few Seattle-based items I found for boys and girls alike!<br />

As a companion, you could give him the Big Book of Whittling and Woodcarving, and hope that he carves you a pair of wooden clogs.<br />

I am absolutely in love with Mena Trott's blog, <a href="http://www.sewweekly.com/">The Sew Weekly</a>. Mena set out to sew an outfit for herself every week for an entire year. Not only are her vintage-inspired outfits absolutely charming, but they are often inexpensive to make. Many of them feature vintage sewing patterns and fabrics, and she lists the cost and time to make each piece. I feel so inspired...I wish I had 6 or 7 more hours each day to undertake such a project myself. What a wardrobe I would have!<br />
<br />

Here in our 690 sq. foot home, my husband and I are drowning in fabric. It has displaced the linens in the linen closet, pushed my clothes out of the clothes closet, overtaken two bookshelves, a wicker trunk, and a leather armchair. Therefore, as a sort of "fall cleaning", it is time to commence a Sew Down; that is, I'm going to try to sew every piece of new and upcycled material into a garment and post for sale on<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PoorJean"> Poor Jean</a> before the end of September. All items will be ready to ship, in varying sizes. Visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PoorJean">Poor Jean</a> early next week for the first batch of Sew Down upcycled a-line skirts, sizes extra small, small, medium, and large!<br />
