antique fair and a cool breeze.

As most of you know, here in Florida we rarely get a cool breeze. It's been Fall for weeks now and we have yet to see it, except for a few "cold fronts", but no leaves changing. What a jip, right? The "cold fonts" last MAYBE 48 hours and the coldest you get is in the late 50's. Well this weekend is one of those weekends. I woke up this morning, turned the AC off, opened all the windows and listened to some coffee brew. It was beautiful. It's supposed to be even cooler tomorrow, YES.  

Jake and I are both, very much home bodies. So a majority of our weekends are spent at home, doing homework/projects, relaxing, crafting or cleaning...yes, cleaning (except for the dishes, i despise the dishes) You know the drill. But I told myself as soon as summer was over that I would fill my calendar with fun events so we could soak up the season. Last week we visited a fun fair and an art fest in St. Pete, so today we went to an antiques fair in downtown Dunedin, which was so nice. They had lots of fun goodies to look at and art galleries to visit. I was in love. Not to mention, I’m pretty lucky to have a husband that actually enjoys antiqueing and thrifting, I’ll give him credit ;)

and we found this lovely home decor store with lots of things that we love. There were vintage styles and modern styles, not to mention they had 6 or 7 different Christmas trees already set up with different themes! I was definitely feeling inspired by the time we left and we will obviously be going back. :)

They’re cute and I’m a proud aunty. (even though they call me “sissy”. WIERD, I know.)

I gotta get! I’m going on a little date with my handsome husband.

I seriously haven’t been to the movies in over a year…but I’m about to break the cycle.

g’night!
