Some days in Tacoma just make you smile.

Sunshine, bright flowers in the Proctor Farmer’s Market with familiar faces milling about, flower and garden shows, restaurants opening garage windows to bring the outside in and let the inside spill out and seating on sidewalks, tattoo shows, antique and garage sale shopping in University Place an Fircrest, respectively, and did I mention, sunshine?

Add to that, excitement, and upcoming heat: the Rebecca V show last night featuring Tony V’s collection of vintage nude slides, in their full giclee-print-on-canvas glory, has to be about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time.  Yeah, I’ve even purchased one (walk on through and guess which one that is!)

Add complimentary wine tasting from Pairings, and you had an evening worthy of the kind of day we had (and still having today!).

Ahhh, bliss… â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
