Butterflies For Breakfast


Once a month our oldest daughter has a two hour late start for school.  It is our routine out for breakfast morning.  This month we went to Byways, a small cafe in the Pearl district of Portland.  Do any of you remember when it was Shakers?  I have to admit I liked Shakers more, although I do enjoy Byways on occasion.  Byways has the same vibe- but a little less kitsch and a lot more ptown.  I do miss all the cute salt and pepper 'shakers' on display.  Once you were served on vintage diner ware but I imagine over the years that inventory has been depleted, although a few remnants can be found in the cafe.  The food is standard diner Portland.
I wore one pair of my cowboy boots.  I love the butterflies.  I bought them on a trip to Nashville a few years ago.  The store was buy one get TWO free!  How could I pass that up?

    Those buy one get two free deals are LEGION on lower Broadway in Nashville. We aim to please! I haven't bought any first-hand yet (I have two pairs from the thrift store), but that seems to be the way to go! Yours are too cute.
