Last Thursday, the kids and I got ready and went to the airport to pick up Daffny. Olivia asked over and over "Is she here yet? How did she fly here?" and all questions of an excited three year old.
We picked her up and since we were all starving, we dropped off luggage at my house and headed to Magpie's on Main Street, which is the best place in town for a couple of gals in need of lunch.
They have the yummiest quiche, sandwiches, desserts and appetizers set in a beautiful and cozy building built around 1812, which was built by Charles Tayon, the Spanish governor of St Charles. At its construction, it was one of the largest homes in the settlement. Since it was sunny out, we enjoyed a corner of the patio. We devoured the baked brie, which has almonds, dried and fresh berries with bread on the side to scoop up that melty goodness. I had the hearts of palm salad with a slice of quiche, which is missing from the photo because I was famished!
After we had our energy restored, we jetted off to the local thrift stores. We hit 3 thrift stores in about 2 hours and pretty much conquered all three! I bought a whole shopping cart full of vintage dishes and Glasbake, along with a green pitcher for the kids lemonade and a 69 cent bag for my new camera. I really wanted something smallish but with a long strap and in a color or pattern that Pj wouldn't mind hauling around so that was a score! Here are all of my finds for the day....
Glasbake is like Pyrex but often more colorful and more affordable. Lately, it has been cropping up all over my local thrift stores and I was able to nab a collection of casseroles and bowls in this pretty pattern for less than $10
Next, we took the kids to my mom's house so they could enjoy some non-shopping down time and we went to see my amazing hair stylist, Nikki. It's so hard to find someone who knows how to cut a proper vintage style and she really knows her stuff! My gorgeous Rita Hayworth style cut, my Marilyn cut - all the work of Nikki. So, when Daffny said that her Latina hair is causing her problems and she doesn't know what to do with it I said "Girl, call Nikki!"
