Wednesday's

So what's my favorite day of the month you ask?? Well let me tell you...It's wednesday, and not just any wednesday...Maybe once a month after picking up Payson at therapy in Pardise Valley I go to Scottsdale, my little piece of Heaven, called the Keirland Common's. (I think thats what its called). But it is the best outdoor mall in the world, I promise you, you will not be disapointed. It has all my favorite stores, a couple really nice cafe's that are way to expensive to eat at, but smells intoxicating just walking past. And during the summer months they have a huge fountain that kids actually wear their bathing suits and run through.
First we go to Barnes and Noble, because nothing else is open yet. We stay there as long as possible, Hayden likes to play with the Thomas train, and then they have story time (hence the reason for wednesday). I swear I spend way to much money at the book store, but I can't help it I love that place. I am building my library, it's for a good cause. I have a membership there if anyone wants to use it, it's under my home phone. And they said it was okay for family to use it. Then I go to my absolute favorite store Anthropology. A store which I usually don't spend to much money at, because everything is too expensive anyway. But (shhhh) last time I was there I did pick out a few tops. What? I have a few special occasions coming up, I needed it! And then last time I was there I discovered they have a Smith and Hawken store. This is another beautiful store, if you haven't heard of it they sell stuff like pots and plants, and gorgeous garden decorations. Target has a Smith and Hawken line, which usually has some pretty amazing things, for a more reasonable price. Which brings me to the picture that I posted, I know your probably looking at it thinking what does this have to do with anything, and the answer is...nothing. I just saw them at Smith and Hawken and loved them, I had to buy them, it's my colors: brown and aqua or a light teal/ or robins egg (I don't know). Anyways I am not sure what I will do with them, maybe a shadow box frame??? Or on a shelf, I don't know stay tuned, I'll figure out something. This makes me miss my "dixie drive" bathroom, remember it?? It was painted this similar color (a paint chip from restoration hardware), maybe I will have to paint my guest bathroom that color too.
The Kierland Common's also has Crate and Barrel, Z gallery and Restoration Hardware, among many other fabulous stores, that are fabulously expensive. So you can imagine the pure bliss I always feel when I visit my piece of heaven. I always leave feeling rejuvenated, and inspired, and a little depressed since I cant buy everything, but it's worth it. Then the kids usually take a nap when we get home, because they are exhausted from all of the happy making! Oh how I love my Wednesday's.
