attention all comic book fans! it's that time again ~

tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day again! ~

in that spirit i'll be focusing on comic books for awhile here at the lost & found ~

if you've never been you should get out this year to your nearest comic book store & get a handful of free comics ~

there's always something for everyone so bring your kids ~

now i'm not really a superhero fan so i'll leave that to the guys who know about them ~

i'm more of a gothbox trawler ~

like last year i'll be hitting cosmic monkey in portland & i like comics in vancouver washington ~

maybe i'll see you out there ~

i love portland

for this flashback friday i'm thinking about my love for portland ~

& how we came to move up here 20 years ago ~

as a socal native of 40 years i grew up hearing my mom's stories of old portland & how she longed to go back, mr dad was also born here & our dream was always to make it up here ~

my son was happy to make the change so we brought our family of 7 pittypats up here to our own big house ~

& we never looked back ;) ~

we have loved the uniqueness of portland & this pacific northwest wonderland & this is our home ~

all the incredible trails, mountains & waterfalls ~

trees & parks, bridges & estate sales at cool old houses ~

library sales, neighborhood food carts & cool comic & vinyl shops ~

i'm a total portland nerd now :) ~

& since mr dad & i both love photography i have numerous albums of portland, oregon & washington & the pnw wonderland ~

so i thought i'd link a bunch here for anyone interested ~

each album has accompanying essential music if you're on pc or laptop ~

everything from elliott smith to the decemberists <3 ~

i apologize for any broken image links, typepad feels like it's fading away? noooo... & there are tons more up at my gumbyland & gallery website & over at my other blog ;) ~

weird wednesday - portland rocks!

here's a weird wednesday post from wayback in 2017 today.. so this morning i was on a mission ~

ever since i found an awesome black cat 'vancouver rock' i've wanted to hide some of my own here around portland ~

i picked up this rock on one of our hikes because it seemed kinda heart shaped, with a few cracks, not unlike my own.. it seemed perfect for a little gumby ~

& i happened to be looking at monster high dolls at the store today, so... ~

i hope finding these will be as much fun for someone as it was for me hiding them :) ~

here are a few clues to where i hid mine ~
one is where i like to buy comic books..
one is in a park, shining in the summer sun in a knothole of a cool tree..
one is hiding where cool little girls buy dolls..
one is in the spooky section of the coolest bookstore there is..
& one is on the moon..
