Weekend Wrap-Up

This past weekend really felt like the beginning of spring. And what better way to celebrate spring than to be outside, doing things?

So on Saturday, we hopped into the car, and made out way out to the Long Island vineyards. Of course, no grape plants were growing yet, but it was still lovely and relaxing - and as always, it's nice to just get out of the city for a bit.

These photos were all taken on a camera phone - not bad, right?

The vineyard we went to had a resident cat. It was so calm, just lying about - but what do you expect when it's around all those wine fumes all the time?

And then we just meandered our way back along the north shore, stopping by a few cute little towns.

And Sunday was spent at home, hanging out on the balcony for a lot of the day. Quite a pleasant weekend, all around.

Along with the spring theme, I've decided to make a bunch of handmade rose bobby pins for my
Etsy shop. I do have a few listed, but I think I will expand my inventory to encompass a larger assortment of colors.
