Food, Flowers, & Fun

Happy, happy Monday to you all! This is the first Monday I haven't had to wake up at 6 am in quite some time, and I can't complain. Friday was my last day of work, & though I'm sad I won't get to see all the kiddos anymore, I'm quite happy to have some time to relax. In just a few days I head back to school, so it's nice to have a few days off before then. I spent a lot of this weekend catching up on sleep, eating good food, and fighting off some sort of cold/allergy thing that's going on in my nose. So fun.

To celebrate work being over/summer/I was just thirsty, Amanda and I got slushies. Contrary to what it says, it only cost 52 cents. I opted for a cherry/coke combo.

I can't resist taking pictures of flowers. It's just in my nature. ;)

My mom actually had a Saturday off from work! So we spent some of the day shopping, and eating at Tubby's. I love, love their crab stew.

A lovely pond/fountain filled with fishies that I saw while we were out shopping.

First fresh corn of the summer season. My mom and I were seriously questioning ourselves because we haven't been eating it all summer long.

Last night my dad took me to Leoci's for dinner before I head back to school. I had spaghetti & meatballs and it was delicious.

My outfit for dinner! Of course, I managed to spill sauce on the single white strip of fabric on my new shirt. Geeze.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Shopping in Paris

One of my favorite stores to browse around is The Paris Market. As I mentioned in 'My Favorites' post, my favorite city is Paris and walking around this store makes me feel like I'm there. The first floor is full of jewelry, soaps, a little café, and huge marquee letters (that I want to put in my room). Once you are done looking up there, a book-lined staircase leads you down to another magical little world. It is such a cool place to visit and if you like what you see, luckily there is an online store you can browse here or go visit their blog here.

How adorable are these mini harmonicas?

One of my favorite parts of the store: Tons of old photos from strangers
