We spent the week celebrating, adventuring and eating great food with good friends. We are feeling thankful for healthy families and how lovely it is to see the little ones merge into the family of old friends. I hope you are all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here are some Instagrams from the week:
*The Costume Room Beside the Stage (Full of magic vintage costumes, at this amazing place.)
*Ada, Breakfast
*Spread at Scratch Bread (Some of my favorite baked goods ever, conveniently and dangerously just around the corner from us. The Bourbon Wheat bread is insane.)
*Cat Tails for the City Girl
*Fruit in Chinatown on Thanksgiving
*Beautiful Gummybears, Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
*Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate with Homemade Black Pepper Marshmallow, Scratch (Way too good to share with the kids.)
*Vintage Ballet Poster, Big Indian Springs (Home to a ballet school in the 1960’s.)
*Big Indian Springs
*Beaded Charms, Chinatown
*Thanksgiving Leftovers, Nha Trang
*Decorating the Stage, Big Indian Springs
Have a wonderful weekend!

Instagrams from the week:
*Walking over the Williamsburg Bridge
*Pictures (made with these awesome stickers)
*Sister Picture Made from Color Chips (Ada cut and taped and Josie colored)
*Butterfly Girl. (Technically it is no longer butterfly season around here, but the girls play with this net constantly)
Have you ever noticed how when you start thinking about one color or shape you see it all the time? I always love when a group of similar things ends up in my bag at the end of flea market shopping, or how colors and lines repeat through Instagrams from the week…Makes you wonder what other beauty you would see more of if you invited it in.
Have a happy weekend!
