I must have walked past Miss Lara a thousand times and never even knew. Our worlds have touched so many times and we still have not met. We know so many of the same people………it’s a small world.
Modern Prairie Girl
I’m just sick about missing all the past opportunities to hang with a creative sista. We both live in the small town of Camas Wa. SMALL! We both attend every Barn House Sale……and even talked to the same group of friends.
She is good friends with my friend Krista………we were even with Krista the same day while Krista received chemo.
My friend Krista during Chemo. Lara hung out with her in the AM, and I hung out with her in the PM. Lara left before I showed up.
But I arrived shortly after Lara had to leave. We even know the same amazing photographer, Fancy Farmgirl..…I just featured her last week. I had no idea she also knew Tiffany!
What a small world. Then while checking facebook, I see her commenting on my friend Margie’s page because she had just attended the Brave Girls Camp.
SMALL WORLD.
We know SO many of the same people, but have never met. That has got to change. I can’t wait to meet her. So much talent. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she dabbles in mixed media.
I love what she has in her etsy shop.
Looks like she has an amazing home!!! I plan to be really really nice to her, then kidnap her to help me with my decorating dilemmas. That photo below is her dining room table! Can you stand it? Those chairs are burlap………..BURLAP! We all know my love for burlap.
It takes a special person to be a pet photographer. She’s got some adorable shots on her professional site. Her human shots are pretty amazing too. She loves a good theme. Don’t miss the Alice in wonderland photo shoot she did.
I know that I’ll just love Lara. Can’t wait to meet her. Now if you don’t mind……..please head over and leave her a comment so she thinks I’m pretty cool too. 
Edited to add: We have since met. I’ve taken her photography class, we meet for coffee at our local coffee shop, she’s the one who took my photo for the Matthew Mead Holiday Magazine. Just like I knew………we hit it off.

Sure is a small world, huh.
Will pop over to her site
sending blessings Krista’s way..xo
I want a super big M monogram like that big “B” for my wall!! SO fun!!!
I love the dinning room and all the collectables !

i love the doors & the chair. and the idea of a bookshelf for the china!!
Wow! I’m heading over. Could that dining room table and chairs be more perfect? I also love the “B” on the chair. Fabulousness.
its a small world for sure!
It’s definitely a small world out there!
I’m loving the pet pictures.
I love “it’s a small world stories”. I was working on a college accreditation team with a professor from another state. She was shocked that I knew one of her co-workers. There is often a connection.
How neat! Hope y’all have a great meet-up. I would love to discover a cool blogger like that living in my small town. Right now everyone says “you do what? What’s a blog?” LOL
Oooh, I love her stuff!!!
She IS pretty cool! Maybe by hanging with you local gals your creativity will rub off on me.
Not only does Lara create beautiful things, she has the most beautiful soul to match!
HUGE hugs all around. Blushing and grateful.
Thank you, Kim…I’m comin’ over!!!!
Lara

It’s true, it’s all true. Lara has crazy mad skills! She is good at everything! I was lucky enough to meet the lovely Lara while waiting in line at the Barn House sale a few years ago (we admired each others cowboy boots!) I was there with lovely Leah – the beautiful woman in the photo with Tiffany. (We live 2 doors away from each other.) In fact, I was lucky enough to be at Leah’s party when that photo was snapped! There is a wonderful, big buzzing bee hive of arty types in Portland. I love that they all support each other and these blogs are a great place to follow their bread crumb trails on the next cool thing.
Love the white pitchers!
I want those chairs!!!!!
You will love Lara – she’s an awesome person! And Lara…I love your house!!! So much talent.
Hope you gals have fun when you meet.
Oh wow I LOVE her set of white pitchers and such. And the chairs and table are perfect. Can I live there?!
<3,

Kim – I love how your blog is so beautiful! You bring creative women together and I’m always blown away by the fabulous women you feature. Hugs!
Just found your blog…very creative. I have also discovered a love for burlap, who knew you could do sooooo much with such a lowly fabric.:-)
What beautiful photographs and a lovely home!!!
you picked a PERFECT person to be really really nice to, because lara is a REALLY REALLY nice perfect person.
i just had the blessed opportunity to spend several days with her in idaho at Brave Girls Camp (with margie too) and she oozes talent all over the place! ask her to sing sometime!!!!
so happy to have found your blog through her!
you are going to LOVE her in person!
happy day.

I love Lara! Her home gives me palpitations. So glad she sent me over to you. Have I been living under a rock???!
Lara is indeed talented and anyone who sits with a friend during chemo is truly special. I must comment on the room Krista was in, the quilt in the background is stunning. I remember when my mother went through chemo, the room was cold and sterile.
Love the chairs and table for sure!
Wow what a cool story!
I love that table! Wow!
Wow! It really is a small world! While linking from blog to blog I stumbled across your blog, scrolled down and saw how you were talking about Lara Blair images which I heard of and fell in love with about a year ago! I work for a bistro owner in downtown Camas (I live in washougal) who is acquaintances with Lara. She showed me her website and I FELL IN LOVE with her artwork!!
How fun to find a local blogger too!!
Kama
Oops…posted my info wrong! I guess I got a little excited to find a local blogger!!
That’s awesome! Gorgeous photos.
I’ve met Lara…super uber talented. Love the big B in her house!
Hello from Portland, OR! Love the burlap on the dining chairs. Burlap is definitely addicting!
