Scenes From The Weekend

 (A few more breton stripes added to my wardrobe)

(light reading...the March covers are so pretty!)

(week-old tulips still thriving)

(full moon + crazy cloud dance at midnight)

 (enjoying toast with honey on a watercolor plate I couldn't leave behind in the store)

("pink super ladies" = best name ever?)

Checking in briefly to share a glimpse of my weekend so far (school's closed 'til Wednesday).

After work on Friday afternoon, I went shopping in Soho with two of my colleagues/friends and focused on buying a few quality pieces to enhance my wardrobe. We ducked into a local bakery for smoothies and conversation when the streets started to get really crowded: the weather was beautiful and it seemed like all of NYC came out to frolic in lower Manhattan.

By Saturday morning, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees, so T and I bundled up for cappuccinos & crepes at Yum-Yum cafe and then ran some errands (I bought enough flowers to fill every room). After that, we didn't leave the house at all. We did manage a much-needed cleaning spree in between bouts of reading, writing, lounging and movie-watching (Waiting For Superman). Sunday found us in pajamas all day.

I'm spending today and tomorrow working and writing from home and will try to find an hour to venture into town for a pedicure and coffee break. My winter tootsies are craving a little pampering.

Hope you thoroughly enjoyed your weekend and found some time to decompress. Anything special go down?

P.S. I impulsively joined pinterest last week and have been spending more time than I care to admit pinning inspiration. Follow my pinboards if you'd like to be friends there.
