weekend

First, deep-dish pizza at Giordano's in Chicago on Saturday night. Mmmmm...

stuffed cheese pizza with pepperoni, green pepper, onion

Then an art show opening for Anders Nilsen at Home Gallery in Hyde Park.

Sunday morning breakfast at Sophia's in Madison. Delicious.

omelette with spicy sausage, roasted red & yellow peppers, caramelized leeks, and asaigo
breakfast potatoes

berry & cream cheese coffee cake (still warm)

And a funny little hair salon.

Yesterday, we spent a good part of the afternoon thrifting at our favorite local consignment store, Carousel. I think this brooch makes my coat seem prettier and a bit more vintage.

Ollie explores my new hatbox

hatbox, $4

I found myself suddenly wanting a hatbox this week and was fortunate enough to find this cute one. I was also fortunate enough to discover a reason to buy it: to hold my embroidery hoops and fabrics for projects.

Our main purpose for going to the store was to find new old frames for some sketches we had from artists at ComicCon back in 2006 and some postcards that Matt got for Christmas last year. We're finally getting them ready to hang.
