Oct, 12Sweet Finds
Yesterday the mister and I drove down south to our old college stomping grounds where we took a stroll on Old S. Gaylord St. and dropped into a few shops. We found a new little candy shop called Gnome’s Nook. It was so cute! Outside they had a little gnome garden and when we went in we were welcomed by two sweet girls who gave us the rundown. They explained how we could navigate through the two-story shop and they reminded us that all gnome’s are for adoption. When we went upstairs, we were greeted by a young man who gave us even more candy knowledge. We didn’t plan on buying anything, but the staff were all so kind giving us samples and explanations, that we just had to. Then, we walked down the street and had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. If you’ve never been to the Wash Park Grill, you have to go. Their french fries and lobster club are our fave!
After lunch we dropped by the Cherry Creek Mall and did a little window shopping. The mall was crazy-busy, as it usually is, so we ducked into Urban Outfitters for a few laughs. We just love looking through their books… always a great time. Then, as we ventured further back in the store, we saw the SALE signs… oh boy, that’s my spot! We scored big time, too! We found this sweet little HOLGA camera and fashion sketchbook and got both for under $19, seriously!!! I love when that happens! I forgot the film at the store last night, so I can’t wait to pick some 35mm up and start shootin’. This is going to be fun.
How was your weekend? Any big adventures or good thrift finds? ♥R
