This weekend was totally wonderful.

Went on the best date filled with a bunch of my favorite things. lemonade & smoothies ♥ yummy new food ♥ crafts & handmade things ♥ offbeat coffee shops ♥ bike rides ♥ picnics by the beach

We walked around Fairfield (CT) which is an adorable little town. I tried raw food (from a restaurant) for the first time…it was yummy! Felt great to eat such a healthful meal-of avocado nachos, a ‘burrito’, lettuce shell taco, and veggie spring rolls. Although we totally ruined the healthy food vibe by making a massive vegan pizza for dinner!

We stepped into here–Which was this magical place of DIY, sewing machines, craft classes, fabric/supplies and handmade everything. [basically what I want out of life] Seriously though, maybe it’s just where I live but i’ve never seen such a passionate crafty place, it was great. I was like a little nervous kid in a candy store. The boy and I are going to go back next time i’m in town and take a knitting class or something! Make and Mingle blog & Etsy shop.

And lastly, I got to take home the most rad gift ever…

My beautiful new vintage bike! I absolutely adore it. I can’t wait to squeeze in a bike ride after work. It’s from before the ’70s, has all of the original parts, and a working light. Just need to get a lock so I can ride it to the store & such…and a bell! I’ve been itching for a new bike, but a new-old bike. I’m smitten, It’s perfect. ♥
