Aryne can't get enough baked fig with goat cheese, honey and black pepper! Raw off the tree, or whipped into great meals, figs are a special treat this time of year.

REPAIR INSTEAD OF REPLACE

You know how we are so good at REDUCE * REUSE * RECYCLE? We recommend adding a 4th...REPAIR.

In our busy lives, it is much easier when something breaks to discard it and go get a new one. But if we could fix it first, we may save ourselves and our planet a great deal. Below are some of our favorite repair shops and youtube sites for repair what you own instead of buying a new one!

COMMUNITY CYCLING CENTER

JD's SHOE REPAIR

A-APLIANCE REPAIR SERVICE

ALADDIN FURNITURE REPAIR

A1 ALTERATION STATION/ CLOTHING REPAIR

And of course if something at your home goes wrong and you need help with repairs, please call or text us and we will help you with getting the right repair person immediately!

KENDALL STEELE, ART SHOW

Join Aryne + Dulcinea as they welcome the new art of Kendall Steele. Kendall is a long time Portland resident who teaches and makes art locally. Stop by and say hi! The show will be available until the end of September at our northeast Living Room Office at 1401 NE Alberta Street.

 Kendall's work documents her fascination with  the colors, patterns, and textures found in nature and her love of stories, particularly myths, fairy tales, and other fantastical narratives that point our consciousness towards what is beyond the visible world.

Working in pastel allows her to be nimble. Ideas can be worked into an existing composition spontaneously. Details can be purposefully vague or carefully articulated. Color and texture are easily transformed. Ideally in the end, the finished piece has not been transcribed from an original idea, it has evolved.

Maybe a cherry and almond milk ice pop for dairy free friends? Super summer plum syrup you can add to iced drinks all summer long? Bring these out the next time you are with friends or give your neighbors an unexpected gift from your kitchen!

NO AC? BEST WAYS TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE COOL IN HOT WEATHER

Like last summer, we may need to get creative about how we keep cool this summer, try these old school, no ac ideas and keep it cool in your house.

1. Keep blinds, windows, and doors closed during the day

2. Adjust your ceiling fans if they are rotating clockwise (counter-clockwise actually moves air around better)

3. Place a shallow bowl of ice water in front of your standing fans

4. Open as many windows and doors in the evening as possible

5. Close off hotter sections of your house by putting up heavy cloths, or blankets. (We know...not so pretty, but it can really keep out the heat).

A REAL ESTATE NAP...?

Folks are often surprised to hear that July can be a quiet time for real estate. Spring is chock full of new listings, open houses, offer writing and inspections. The 4th of July holiday is the official start of summer fun. Typically, we pause our listing schedule on June 30, and pick it back up in mid to late July. This schedule gives folks time to go on vacation, hit the music festivals and entertain out of towners. Early July is not the only nap time of the year, the end of August can be slow too. If you are considering selling a property, reach out to us and we will discuss the hottest times of the year to list your home - we bet you'll be surprised!
