Weekend Highlights

I finally decided to hit up the local farmer’s market after making that post last week complaining about our lack of them in the area. The hubs and I woke up early and made our way to Pinecrest Gardens for their weekly festivities ready to find some really great stuff. I did find really great stuff, just not what I expected.

There were a lot of organic food items. I was expecting more produce. There were plants and trees. I was expecting more fresh flowers. You get it. However, now we know that we can wake up hungry and with cash in hand ready to chow down on some good breakfast or lunch items. Unfortunately, this time around we left empty handed.

The rest of our weekend was pretty low key. We had a good time with each other, enjoying our alone time (we don’t get a lot lately) eating, drinking, exploring and cuddling. It’ll probably be the last time until the new year that we have no set plans so I really tried to revel in it. Lots of events and fun (and sometimes stress) coming soon to a blog near you! 😉

Have a great week, everyone!

Lovable Friday!

1. Vivienne Westwood Shoes

I’ve decided that Vivienne Westwood is a vile and evil sorceress that is hell bent on destroying my bank account. I also place a little of the blame on Rock ‘n Roll Bride for introducing me to her absolutely adorable collection. The second I set eyes on them I became obsessed with having them, along with the heart shoes. I started scouring Ebay and Google in a frenzy, but unfortunately, they are still out of my price range. I’m hoping someone somewhere will take pity on me and purchase them for me. Gosh, this shoe fetish is just getting out of control.

Potter Heads

Chances are, if you read my blog, you are a part of some sort of fandom. And the chances, again, are pretty high that one of those fandoms is the Potter franchise. If you are a Potter fan (or Potter Heads, as we are called), there is a serious countdown in your agenda right now: the premiere of Deathly Hallows Part 1. The movie will be released on November 18th in both traditional and IMAX theaters, and I already have my tickets for opening weekend in hand! Not only will I be attending the movie itself, but I will be attending a themed party afterwards so it is imperative that I ditch that boring Muggle wear and pick up some wizard-worthy threads. Thankfully, I’ve found the Evietees Etsy Store! They carry all sorts of fun Potter gear that cannot be found in your run-of-the-mill, local Hot Topic assuring that you will be wearing a unique piece of Potter-dom. Accio fun!

Happy Hump Day: Justin Kirk

So I’m not really sure if I am in love with Justin Kirk, or the character he plays on Showtime’s Weeds: Andy Botwin. Either way, he’s absolutely adorable to watch on a weekly basis as the hilarious and goofy uncle in one of TV’s most dysfunctional (but lovable) families. He’s also best known for his role as Prior Walter in the screen adaptation of Angels in America, the very play Zachary Quinto is a part of currently in New York City! And thankfully he is not only sticking to Weeds, I’m sure a lot of you spotted him on Modern Family a couple of weeks ago and he is set to star in quite a slew of movies, such as Vamps, alongside Alicia Silverstone and Sigourney Weaver. Looks like Uncle Andy isn’t such a slacker after all! 😉

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later 😉
