enter sunshine

The greater Portland area is experiencing intermittent spots of sunshine, which leaves most people scrambling to up their mood by getting some sunlight. I think it’s easy to have become a slight- agoraphobe during the Pandemic, but today I realized if I don’t get some sunlight, I’m going to be too pale and I will look unwell. I tried some light self-tanner…it never looks right. I did lament with my best friend that all of the days spent spray tanning will come back to haunt you.

What are things you do to boost your mood when there’s no sun until July 4? I take walks with the dog in the vineyard, binge watch crime/horror/docus, over-organize and try to be creative. I like to think about new lines to carry at The Store. And I dream about magical summertime Woodshed pop-ups with balloon cascades and passed tiny foods and wine. Loads of wine.

Any suggestions for timeframes if I host a few events this summer? Any additional brands you’d like to see me carry? I am really pleased with the rotating assortment! Let me know what you think! ox lvn
