happy early friday

I'm taking off early this week to spend a day in Portland to celebrate my Mom's birthday. Since I haven't been home since Christmas (which is very unusual), we'll be racing around town for all the things we love - breakfast at St. Honoré Boulangerie, picking up magazines at the tobacco store, seeing friends and doing a wee bit of shopping. After our day of fun, we'll be driving down to San Francisco. It's something we loving doing because we stop in Ashland for a little treat at our favorite store, Prize.

I'm excited to walk into our apartment Sunday to a fresh coat of harbor gray paint - crossing my fingers the hubby can handle everything while I'm away.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and as usual thank you so much for stopping by this week.
