Yesterday we drove from my parents house in Plano to my brother's condo in Austin.

We passed by the downtown skyline as we headed out of Dallas.

My new ring - my grandmother gave it to me while in Tulsa - it's literally a huge rock (with crystals growing off of it), and I love it.

We stopped in Salado, Texas on the way to Austin - they had a lovely row of antique shops, and I just had to stop in one.

This shop was so great... I could have bought a thousand things, if it weren't for the issue of bringing it back to CA (oh yeah, and affording it).

I fell in love with these cobalt blue goblets - I imagined drinking wine from them, I'm sad I didn't get them.

My brother Blake's apartment - he shares this tiny little room with another guy - ah college days.

I painted the guitar for Blake, and got him that little painting of Dylan from Etsy. Blake's an amazing musician, I'm going to post a song of his soon!

We ate at such a great place here in Austin - Magnolia's.

I was soooo happy to finally have queso after 3 years of living in California - when you say "queso" in CA they bring you a block of cheese :/
Yum! There is nothing like Texas queso!
ReplyDeleteThose goblets are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI *love* Magnolia queso! I seriously miss Austin.
ReplyDeleteYou should have called me! I would have given you my credit card and purchase those goblets for ME! I imagine fabulous flowers in them. How much were they?
