North Market, Spring Week 2

Jonah with his "white chocolate" ice cream

my beautiful motherThe peanut guy is back :)


The North Market was buzzing this weekend, and while there were still only a few stands outside, it felt like spring had finally arrived! We bought hummus + greek salad from Firdous, Flowers from Market Blooms + of course ice cream for Jonah from Jeni's.
I'm already looking forward to going again next weekend :)

Tiny Modernist

How adorable are these patterns to sew cross stitch iconic chairs. Since I cant afford the actual chairs, these little guys will have to do for a while.

The only problem is I've never stitched anything in my life ...
I may need to call in Danielle for back-up support!

Spring has sprung!

It's going to be 80 degrees here this weekend, and that means i need a pedicure + these cute sandals!

i wish i was the moon tonight...

Such a BEAUTIFUL song!

Sunday Brunch...

How wonderful that the name of my new favorite online store is one of my favorite things ... Sunday Brunch!!
I LOVE how the founders describe the site:
Dresses aren’t just for swooning over dark, brooding men or inheriting spooky mansions on windswept moors. They’re also for brunch on Sunday morning, going out with friends, or even going to work. They’re for slowing down and dressing up. They’re for elegance every day, for showing that the moment is special. Because every moment is part of our story.

Dear dad,

I'm terribly sorry about spilling water all over your new computer. I should have never been drinking out of your glass, but i was so thirsty and the lid was on the toilet. Please forgive me.

Easter Week, part 1

Pete was out of town last week and so i decided to get crafty and decorate our place for Easter...

Music in the afternoon...

This song is in my opinion one of the greatest love songs ever written ... i hope to dance to it at my wedding someday!

Have a wonderful afternoon + stay warm.

North Market, Spring Week 1

I love the North Market, and as previously mentioned my family has been going for breakfast every Saturday morning for the past 10 years! The spring is my absolute favorite because each week as it gets warmer the farmer's market in front of the market grows, and there are more and more wonderful treats to purchase! This week was the first week with outside vendors, and while only 2 it made me very excited for the weeks to come!

Noise Colored Party

This weekend is the Short North gallery hop, and if you plan on attending you must stop by The Mahan Gallery to check out Ric Ocasek's debut art exhibition. We had the pleasure of attending the opening party (we got to meet Ric + the BEAUTIFUL Paulina), and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed his work.

Why oh why..

did i think it would be a good idea to cut my own bangs? It started out okay, but then i just kept going! Now i look like a five year old who got a hold of a pair of scissors.
