The hubby and I took a quick trip to one of my favorite places Boulder, CO this past weekend!
We went and stayed with my bestie Jill and her husband Andrew. During this weekend we toured Boulder, went up to Flagstaff with these faboulous views
and spent time of course eating and shopping on Pearl Street!

We took a trip up to Estes Park and the Aspen trees were displaying their beautiful golden fall color. Just breathtaking! We listened to this on the way up there!

It was Elk season. Look at this Stately Male framed by the Aspens, what a great site!
Then on the way out of the park we saw this majestic male with the
mountains for a backdrop.
What a wonderful weekend. We need to plan these impromtu trips more often. Next weekend we get to go visit Drama Darling at Iowa State for family weekend. I can't wait to visit Ames and see my baby and the midwestern fall color and watch the Cyclones win their football game against Kansas State!
More to come...enjoy your fall wherever you be.

New Friends with New Shops
I have made some new friends the past few years and two of them have new shops that opened this week. These two shops could not be more different, one has a very vintage, eclectic feel to it and the other has a very contemporary bright gallery one. They are very alike in that they carry unique goods & handmade artisan items and are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope that if you are ever in the area of either of them you stop in and say hello!
Let me introduce you...
Something for every taste and the good feeling that you are supporting local artists and some of the most thoughtful small business people around town.
Let me introduce you...
