A grand weeekend

What. A. Weekend.

Friday I kicked off the weekend with a trip to Matilda's Mouse with my "thrifty" sidekick Michelle, but on our way out of town we were side tracked by an estate sale... surprise.  I can't wait to share some of my finds with you.  (I can't share them all because I left the sale with a big ol' box over flowing with fabric and notions.)

Friday night was a celebration for my "b.f." (blogger friend) Melissa, who along with her business partner Betsy opened one of the most beautiful home stores in San Diego, Bixby & Ball.   I was in good company with my other b.f's Grace, and Michelle.  We did a little shopping, a lot of laughing, sipped on champagne and then sipped on some more champagne.  If you are in San Diego you must stop into  Bixby & Ball.  Tell them bink & boo sent you and they'll probably give you a free hug. {wink}

Saturday I burst out of my North County bubble and headed to La Jolla to check out Sweet Paper.  Appropriately named, this adorable shop carries a lovely selection of paper goods, stationary, invitations, and  devine twine from whisker graphics.  I bought some orange twine (duh), and a set of California post cards that I am going to frame and hang in our entryway.  It looks like I will be bursting out my bubble more often, and cruising down to La Jolla for a serving of Sweet Paper.

Sunday was spent relaxing with the family, until I got a phone in the afternoon with an invite to a five course dinner served with wine pairings.  Of course I jumped on the invite.  Dinner was amazing (I will share more later in the week), but I woke up this morning in a total food coma, and found out that I was 9 months pregnant with a food baby.  One cup of coffee sent me into labor (if you know what I mean) and I am proud to say that I have lost the baby weight, and am ready to start this week off on the right foot... and maybe a few days of fasting.  Have a great week!
