New favorite

My sister, Jen, and I went to Georgetown, DC yesterday.  It was so beautiful outside, we just had to do something fun! So we jumped in the car and drove to Georgetown.  We parked on 30th Street by the Canal, then walked all up and down M Street.  We had lunch in a cute French Cafe, and went to several shops, then parked over by the Potomac, grabbed our blanket and lounged in the grass for a while. The highlight of the trip, though, was stopping in this store:


I LOVE this store! I had just found there website earlier this week, and was so excited to get to see all the things I loved in person.  There's just something about being able to touch a book or photo album or piece of wrapping paper that is so much nicer than seeing it online! My buy of the day was a piece of wrapping paper (think more like parchment paper than wrapping paper) with the alphabet printed on it, along with pictures of something starting with each letter, then what the picture is in French (eg. B, picture of a baguette, then the word "baguette"). It's adorable, and I'm going to frame it and hang it in the nursery. 

Speaking of the nursery, pictures are still coming.  I usually use Bran's camera, which connects right to my computer, but I used mine to take those pictures and I don't have the right camera chord, so I've got to use my mom's card reader.  It's complicated, but the long and short of it is that someday soon there will be photos of Emma's nursery here! 

Have a lovely weekend - we'll be spending ours with family at Defender's Day at Fort McHenry!

  2. Jen told me about it! I need to go there when I have money to spend - it's too hard to resist all the cute stuff! Evidently it's in the town center over by anthro.
