A Kiss To Build a Dream On

Today I decided to walk down to the Enchanted Florist because I heard they had some bunches of lavender and I wanted to fill our apartment with that lovely scent because it's one of my absolute favorites (plus I want to do a watercolor study of it tomorrow). Luckily they had 4 bunches left!

It was such a great day today weather wise that I couldn't let myself pass it up and hurriedly got dressed and headed out! Pearl got way more smiles and compliments than I did, which is as it should be. She's darn cute!

The Enchanted Florist is located on Columbia street just off Pearl street and it has the most beautiful store front ever.

While trying to take a photo of my bunches of lavender with Pearl while sitting on a bench in Tricentennial Park, I accidentally got my skirt completely wet from my flowers. So, I had to sit there for a bit to dry off and Pearl really enjoyed the view!

 

I eventually got a good photo with both Pearl and the lavender even though she much preferred to people watch than look at me.

 

Now I'm back at home with the windows and back door open to let the nice breeze air out the apartment.

I was never the girl next door.

My husband, Pearl and I went to Laura's Vintage today and I walked out wearing a different outfit than the one I wore in. I couldn't really help myself since once I put it on, I didn't want to take it off again.

Has anyone else encountered the sad reality of after having your hair done at the salon, once you wash it, you cannot for the life of you recreate it? That happens every time for me especially when it gets straightened. I ended up deciding to leave my hair with my natural waves with my new Bettie Page bangs. I think I tamed the bangs fairly well and added a houndstooth hair scarf for fun. 

 

Brooches-Laura's Vintage

I ended up buying a new brooch as well. I came in wearing the bow but the daisy really appealed to me and pinned both onto my dress so I wouldn't lose them!

Laura, who owns Laura's Vintage, gave me this little magnet figurine because it reminded her of Pearl! Isn't it just too cute?

Next time I go to her shop, I'll make sure to bring my camera so that you'll get to see the place. It's my favourite vintage shop in the Capital District!
