weekend.

Did you all have a good weekend? I decided on Friday that what I really wanted to do for Valentine's Day is eat pancakes. I love breakfast food, but rarely indulge in bacon, eggs, and pancakes. So after a morning of thrifting, Ben and I stopped in good old Bridgeman's where I devoured a rather large portion of good old fashion breakfast (along with a milkshake of course). After that we sat around watching the Olympics, and then we headed to a friends house for a nice dinner and played Wii Olympics till midnight.
...........
Ben bought me the large Amethyst for Valentine's Day. Isn't it gorgeous?
.....................
I also decided to put up some vintage clothes over at Hello Victory. I have been weary of selling vintage clothes in the shop, but I decided to just suck it up and try it for now.

I love love LOVE the amethyst! I have a similiar one from my childhood, and I'm pretty sure it's the best thing on my mantle. That is, like, the PERFECT Valentine's Day gift ever.

Also, WHAT is the navy, one shouldered, ruffled top paired with the green skirt in your shop? I. Need. It.

Thanks guys!

Linz- I bought it at Old Navy last year for $1.25 after I saw it on this girl:

It's super cute, but I have yet to actually wear it out. Maybe this summer....If I don't end up wearing it I will send it you :)

but weekends are supposed to be a bit indulgent right!

Lindsay said...

Very nice amethyst specimen! I also love it. I'll be a science teacher for a minute: amethyst is quartz that is colored due to impurities in the rock. It is the presence of iron or manganese that gives this quartz a purple hue.

Whoa, your Bridgeman's breakfast looks super good! I am sure you indulged in a La La Palooza after! I had a great weekend, thanks for asking. It was fun seeing you! You are a great teammate. You guys got to stay and play Wii until midnight!? Lucky!! I got kicked out prior to 11:00. I was bummed because I was really looking forward to the skeleton. I have a large Amethyst too. I love it. Maybe our Amethysts can be friends.

Hello Lindello said...

I accept your friend request :)

Yeah, when you left we all came back and did the skeleton till midnight. :) nah....I thought we at least stayed until 11:30 though. See you Wednesday. Bring your amethyst so we can have a play date.
