Girl Friday

I love a weekend where you have endless options, that is this weekend in STL.  Its only Friday morning and my weekend is already booked.

Here is where you will find me.

Open Air Flea Market

St Louis Art Fair

Indulging on the best sushi in town

The hubs and I also have tickets to Loufest, a 2 day music festival in forest park

He is so excited to see one of his favorite bands

The weather is going to be perfect for all our outdoor activities

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Get Out Again!!

The fabulous 4 is going to be so sick of me!!

Tonight we have a fun filled night of drinking and painting.  I know this is a lot of activities crammed into 1 week but I just couldn't pass on this one

Vino Vangogh, if you live in St. Louis or Chicago get out your wine glasses and put on a smock.  This is the perfect marriage of art and wine.  Tonight we will meet at a private room in a local restaurant.  All the art supplies and the instructor are provided, we just show up, order foods and drinks and get painting.


Tonight our subject is tulips

I think I will paint my tulips white, they will go better in my house.



Added bonus, the restaurant is Mexican.  I am in the mood for a little this...

and a little this...

I will be hitting up this place tomorrow...

me thinks I am officially hooked!!

Girl Friday

This weekend has always been one of my favorites, The Clayton Art Fair.  Artists from all over the country come to STL to showcase and hopefully sell their master pieces...

Aside from viewing art, sculptures, ceramics, and jewelry there are plenty of street entertainers...

and plenty of people watching...

Once the fair closes for the night, the surrounding restaurants will be in full swing.  The hubs and I are meeting up with some friends for some late night munchies and cocktails...

Saturday afternoon the hubs is playing in a golf tournament...

then I will meet up with him for dinner and cocktails...

Sunday, back to the art fair but this time with the kiddos for a day listening to music...

and watching a little street art (my favorite thing to watch, these kids are amazing)

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Beautiful Things

I am always on the hunt for beautiful things for my home. You can imagine my utter excitement when I discovered this artist on etsy, from Milltini. She did a post on her last week and I was instantly smitten.

This is an original ink illustration with digital coloring of the iconic Chanel No 5 perfumeI ordered the poster and 2 days later it was at my doorstep. A little glimpse of what it will look like framed.
I have the perfect spot on my bathroom wall for this beauty. This artist has some amazing pieces, something for almost every room in your house. You can find her here.

Success!

We had another beautiful weekend here in STL. Friday night was very successful in my pursuit of people watching and finding art work. My friend Sarah and I drank some wine, ate some sushi, and bought some art. Here he is.......This is very different from anything I have on my walls. This is actually 3 dimensional. The blue box in the middle is a cut out and the little man head is a ceramic figure. He is wearing his heart and underneath it says "exposed". I don't know what is was about the creepy man (maybe the wine) but I was drawn to him, so now he hangs on my wall.
