I might be a summer baby, but Back to School is my favorite time of year; pencils, binder dividers and reams of fresh notebook paper make my heart beat just a bit faster! I'm not a student this fall but John's classes start tomorrow so I've been living vicariously through his well-stocked leather satchel. While I couldn't convince him to tuck this absolutely darling Moleskin Cahier into his bag, wouldn't they make perfect fall favors for a Back to School-themed wedding? You know I'll be raiding CutiePie Company's Etsy shop for fall stationery!
Since this weekend felt like summer's last hurrah, we made sure to say goodbye in style; we had dinner with a dear friend from Baltimore and his family on Saturday night at the Grand Café, and although John was disappointed he couldn't have foie gras for dessert (they had run out), a tour of some of the city's best cocktail bars was a good consolation prize. John nursed a considerable hangover on Sunday morning while I delivered cups of his favorite coffee and breakfast to him in bed, and by that afternoon it was time to celebrate another friend's birthday on Forbes Island, the only floating island on Earth. In fact, this weekend was so busy I'm actually looking forward to the relative calm of the week, and of course, the long weekend ahead!
How was your weekend? I want to hear all about it!
A floating island? How very wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI caught a few bands on Friday night & after a well-needed sleep-in on Saturday morning I headed off to a dear friend's engagement party in the early evening. Sunday was all about lunch in the end-of-winter sun with the family... So happy that Spring is around the corner.

ReplyDeletetoday is my first day back to school. I'm kind of a nervous wreck b/c I had online classes over summer, and now I'm back to on campus classes.. I'm really looking forward to getting back into a schedule, and getting out of the house everyday, but I have first day jitters!
ReplyDeleteI love back to school time, too :)
ReplyDeleteI loved get new supplies for school and picking out my first day outfit but that second day of classes kinda blew. :)
