Bithday Weekend Recap

FOUND: Pink chair, curbside on the way to my parent's for family birthday celebration. We all enjoyed ice cream cake and, as hoped for, I received a giftcard to the Apple Store so I could buy the new iPod touch!

Sunday brunch with friends at Mars Cafe.

Stopped into Secondhand Rose Antiques on Sunday. The shop has so many pretty things and is merchandised beautifully. I especially loved the vintage dishware.

Sunday night was spent working on a project for the upcoming DIY fashion class I will be co-teaching for Freedom for Youth. I am really excited about this new venture and will be posting updates when it starts next week.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!!

TWENTY. EIGHT.

It's here! My birthday!! Does anyone else feel like their day of birth has a sparkly sheen over it? Because I sure do.

As much as I love a good celebration, we're going to keep things pretty low-key this year. Dinner (Thai food) & a movie (Never Let Me Go) with the hubby. Drinks with friends at our favorite martini spot. Gatherings (to include ice cream cake) with the family.

I'm pretty sure I know what my big prezzie is this year, and if I'm correct, it'll change the face of my blog for the better. I won't get it until tomorrow either, so the anticipation is just tormenting...

[Don't forget that today is the LAST DAY to enter for the Sweet Harvey bookplate giveaway! Winner will be announced Friday, October 22nd.]
