weekending

i literally just found out about this place (on instagram!) that morning when faye and i happened to be driving past. a sign! so glad we stopped in for a quick caffeine fix - definitely plan to come back for some good weather patio hangin. i'm suuuuuch a sucker for cute outdoor seating. 

ran a few other errands that day. (pickling prep above).  who knew spices were so expensive - remind me to NEVER cook with cardamom (at $11 a bag?!!)

i love ikea almost as much as i love craft stores - my heart is yours michaels! 

so potato stamping finally happened! i had been wanting to try it for a few months now, ever since i read about it on abeautifulmess. we stopped by ikea to pick up a few supplies (pillow cases, stuffing, and a dozen other 'necessities'...you know how that goes). all it took was some careful potato carving, acrylic paint and a few paintbrushes and i was in geometric pattern heaven.
