Whenever I'm in Eastern Oregon I always make a point to go to Pendleton, Oregon. Pendleton is literally known for just being itself. "Pendleton Whiskey," Native American inspired designs on clothing, blankets and anything else at the "Pendleton Woolen Mills," the "Pendleton Round Up" - the nations largest outdoor rodeo and a handful of other novelty and historically rich businesses and landmarks clutter the small town that sits right off one of the busiest interstates in Eastern Oregon.

By the time I go there right before Christmas, like my hometown, Pendleton had already had a ton of snow dumped on it. I metaphorically froze to death with my family making the same rounds at the same stores we always go to whenever we're in town.

I'm forever in love with these gorgeous Pendleton textiles.
