Bon Voyage!

Tonight, in Capitol Hill, Melissa and myself attended the bon voyage party for Bouncing Wall. They have closed thier physical shop but will still be selling online and having Shop Social events. Head on over to their website and sign up for their emails so you'll be in the know! You can't expect me to tell you EVERYTHING!

I was one of the first 30 to RSVP so I snagged a fan-tab-ulous swag bag of all types of goodies! I've laid them out for you and taken a picture for you all to see. I can't help it, I love free stuff! Show me someone who doesn't!

Melissa and I were starving so after a glass of wine and minlging at the party we headed over to the much raved about Marination Mobile. I ordered a miso ginger chicken taco, a kalbi steak taco and a Spam musubi. Melissa had the tofu tacos. It was all so very DELICIOUS!

Melissa had to head out to meet another friend so I went over to Via Tribunali for a glass of Proseco and to look through my swag bag as I hadn't done that yet. After my drink I headed back to the Bouncing Wall party to buy a necklace I had my eye on and couldn't stop thinking about. After I bought it I had the pleasure of meeting the artist, Shayla Rasmussen of Shay D Designs, who was also enjoying the party. So, do you love it?

Funny for the Day

I just got an email from Galactic Boutique in Capitol Hill today with this image that made me laugh (it doesn't take much, people).

If you're not familiar with them they are a shop that sells really eclectic items. Here is how they describe themselves: "Located between Downtown Seattle and Its Glamorous Capitol Hill shopping district, the GALACTIC BOUTIQUE: STORE AND GALLERY is a fully armed and operational intergalactic shopping experience serving the many faces of modern design: from Retro-kitcsh and Space-ship-chic all the way to the Global Underground. Create luxurious interiors with scented candles, romantic votives, and synthetic botanicals. Organize your home with space-saving furniture and colorful kitchenware. Host a sexy party with sleek barware and dinnerware. Cover your walls with a variety of affordable art. Treat yourself to a spa experience with handmade bath and body care form massage oils to sugar scrubs. Dress yourself up in future urban fashion with t-shirts, skirts, panties and wallets made by independent designers from all over the Galaxy."

It's a fun shop to look around and you'll surely find something that will make you giggle or you'll find that "I just have to get this for (fill in name here)". ;)

New Boutique in Capitol Hill!

This weekend I went away to Walla Walla for a little bike & winery trip. Seven of us headed East for the 4.5 hour drive, then rode our bikes close to 12 miles while stopping at 8 wineries and 1 brewery. It was a great weekend. Always nice to get away!!

Anyway, that isn't the point of this blog. Since I was out of town, as was Dawn, we couldn't get to the grand opening for new shop, JJ Boutique. Fashion Fan Youa, went for us!! Check out her write-up and pictures she snapped of the new shop - it looks really fantastic and I can' wait to swing by and check it out first hand! (Especially b/c everything is 20%!)
