bits of our weekend

It started off with a wedding Friday night (forgot my camera... : / ), where we got to hang out with good friends, catch up on each other's lives, and celebrate.  I took a CPR class Saturday morning to get ready for nursing school this fall, and then Kelsey and I headed for the pool.

relaxing afternoon at the pool (yes, I am STILL reading My Life in France.  It is a lovely to read slow.)
Then Kelsey and I stopped by d'Bronx for a slice of my favorite pizza in the world!  And we also went to a sidewalk sale at Donna's Dress Shop.  Donna's is located on 39th street in Westport and is a combination of vintage and new dresses.  She does a wonderful job of curating her things, which are always clean and nice and well-displayed on darling hangers.

Blake studied all day Saturday, so after his brain couldn't take any more law factoids, we went on a date to see Toy Story 3 and get a milkshake at Blanc.  TS3 lived up to all the hype -- I found it a little darker than it's prequels, which made it all the more heartwarming and real in the end.  I highly recommend it.
WARNING:  grown men (and myself) have been know to get misty-eyed during the viewing of this movie.

Blanc was amazing, as always.  We ordered fried cheese curds (curds from Shatto -- local!  love it!) with chutney and a chocolate malt milkshake.



Then, Sunday was church, lots of rain and a microburst fairly near our neighborhood, and an afternoon of sewing with my sister-in-law, Mary Ann.  Despite the weird weather, MA and I got a lot done!  I sewed up some honeysweet aprons and she worked on a linen shirt.  Psst... look out for a shop update later this week.


Hope you had a happy weekend, too!
