We headed into the city for some fantastic shopping.
smelling: It seems that each little store has its own delightful smell. Think about anthropologie and the smell itself is a big part of the experience. Our first stop was
flora, which we spotted while stopped at a traffic light.

For the evening we headed to
Michelle's wonderful home and gushed over her amazing studio. She was such a gratious hostess and had thought about every detail of our trip to make it the best experience possible..and it sure was! We met up with
Jill and
Andrea for a night of crafts and artsy fun.
feeling: lots of delightful vintage bits and bobs to play with and run our hands over.
