weekend recap

spent a few hours on saturday afternoon in a new favorite antique mall with henry, my mom, sister, aunt and cousin. good finds all around. my mom collects maxfield parrish prints, and was thrilled to find one she didn't have. my sister added to her little vintage milk pitcher collection, my cousin picked up some pretty necklaces, and i- well, i went a little nuts. had been coveting this stunning 50's cocktail gown that i finally decided to seal the deal on (and plan on wearing for my upcoming 10th anniversary!), nabbed some mint condition johnny cash + hank williams records, found a super cute red metal 50s kitchen/bar cart that i'm going to use in the baby's room (which, incidentally ended up changing the entire design idea that i had going on, but i am now sold on a mostly red + white theme, more on that later), got a couple sets of vintage cocktail glasses (one of which has a matching cocktail shaker- dreamy!) and a few other bits and bobbles that i can't even think of at the moment. at the end of the day, we were all pooped. as i like to say, antiquing is an exhausting sport :P

otherwise, we just took it pretty easy. it was super windy on sunday, and we had plans to make waffles for breakfast but ended up losing power for a couple hours. so we hit up this local "greazy spoon" breakfast joint called "weasie's kitchen". it was the kind of breakfast that leaves you feeling sort of stunned and in need of a nap afterwards, you know? the company was nice though, and it was good to eat something other than cold cereal. we've been making nice breakfasts on the weekends, and i think henry has gotten quite used to rolling out of his room to a nice spread on the dining room table.

matt brought home some movies on friday night- one of which was some of those old pink panther cartoons. we ended up snuggling in our room (the three of us, plus the cats of course) and watching those on both nights. it was c-o-l-d outside, and it seemed like the perfect thing to do.

i suppose that about sums it up!

today i am prepping images for another shop update, some of which will be available today. i just have to take some quick measurements and get the new things added.

hope you all had a nice weekend. happy monday!

oh my, this sounds like the perfect weekend indeed! i've just been so excited to go to thrift stores again... though the shopping in buenos aires was incredible, and there were heaps od antiques, there was no GOODWILL, ya know? :)

can't wait to see that dress you snagged! (ten years, woot!)
