weekend away

back in october, i talked about my love for this sweater....

(and about how cute it looked on this girl in paris)

well, i look nothing like this girl

but my fabulous husband surprised me with the sweater for my b-day

(you really can find some fabulous deals when buying for a late january b-day)

anyway....i love, love, love it

now we're headed to Atlanta for a birthday weekend date

so excited.....
i want to definitely hit madewell

and here and here and maybe here

.....and i can't help it.....i will have to go here
i've heard about this fabulous ribbon store....

and.....i've been wanted to see the terra cotta army at the

high museum.....

but i think we will wait until the kids are with us to do that

we'll have dinner here

........sometimes i just love good old fashion spaghetti and meatballs
.............and of course new york cheesecake

maybe saturday have lunch here

even if we do none of that, or all of that,

i'm just excited about going

have a great weekend!

and am finally getting some done for my etsy shop

i wonder.....

got this email from toast

would it?

scarf love

prairie underground deco scarf . beklina

a building block - little thoughts for your day . paloma's nest

in the artist's own words.............
"This little handstamped block is cut from extra little wood pieces in our workshop. Not wanting to throw away these wonderful shapes, I created this "building block"...each side is stamped with a something to think about, a little inspiration to carry you through the day. Keep one on your nightstand to greet you in the morning, or maybe on your desk as a paper weight to glance at during the day. I like to keep one on the dining table to give our family some focus at meal times...some great conversation can arise from discussing such simple ideas. Flip it over or spin it around to reveal a new phrase."
