Week In Pictures 32.0

1  I made my own crocheted Christmas banner which took me a while but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  Not bad for just crochet-winging it...if that's even such a thing.

2  Time to get some "healthy" snacks.  These weren't so bad actually.  What's your favorite thing to snack on?

3  Happy with her holiday t-shirt

4  Squid display at the local museum lobby.  How much calamari would that make?!

5  Passed by downtown/Yale after the museum.  It was a pretty day.

6  By Friday I was already counting down the minutes to the end of the work day.  Yea, it was that kind of a week.

7  Blogger meet-ups are always fun.  Here's Megan of Closet Fashionista taking some outfit pics.  Check out her acrobatic moves!  Go Megan!

8  Nordstrom shopping ornament at where else, Nordstrom (I didn't buy it).

9 [This is supposed to be #8]  Enjoying the end of a great day with tea in my new owl holiday mug and some decadent peppermint bark from Lydia.

How was your week?

Where I'm From II

I don't remember when the last time I went to the Peabody Museum, but I had the chance to go this week.  I think I might have to go again because I wasn't able to see much of it.  As I drove through the downtown area, I realized I really should spend more time there and maybe do some more Christmas shopping at the usual shops.  It's just that the parking can be a pain.  I'll have to get over that one of these days if I want to get some gifts checked off my list!  

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Handmade Holidays

I always get excited when there's a new store in town.  This time, I stopped by Project Storefronts in the downtown area where they have all handmade products.  Local artisans have booths or should I say tables inside to display their wares.  There were handmade jewelry galore from steampunk designs, wire work, and even paper earrings to handmade clothing and accessories, drawn and painted artwork, and even vintage goods.  There's pretty much something for everyone.  Whether you're shopping for others or happen to like one yourself.  It was definitely worth stopping by.  Do you buy handmade during the holidays?
