Weekend Happenings

Happy Sunday all! It has been quite a hectic week for me. A baby shower for a co-worker, yet another doctor appointment to take my mom to, and a case filed against a bogus seller on Etsy (more on that at a later time).

I baked two boxes of cupcakes - one batch on Wednesday night after work and another batch on Thursday night ...

Confetti cakes (top) and Red Velvet with vanilla icing and pearl sprinkles (above).

On Thursday night, I picked my mom up after work and she stayed overnight at my house (as usual whenever she has a doctor appointment the next morning). She has a frozen wrist and very little movement in her arm on her right-hand side. This all began when she fell and shattered her right wrist a couple of years ago and has been an on-going nightmare ever since! At any rate this particular appointment was for her first round of Botox injections which involved five doses in several different areas of her arm. The idea is to relax her muscles in order to give her a bit more movement. No guarantees but it is the last hope she has at this point anymore. Fingers crossed that it works.

Yesterday, my sister Aurora Skye and I decided to have a girl's afternoon out together for lunch and a shopping excursion. I found an awesome book at Barnes & Noble. It is the perfect book for Astrology charts! I have an old edition but it only goes up to the year 1980. This book goes all the way up  to the year 2100! It is filled with extensive information regarding the zodiac signs, planets, moons, ascendants, etc. 

We love checking out all of the unique items sold at a place called, "Shady Maple" which is a huge smorgasbord restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We did not eat there, but their rather amazing gift shop downstairs is well worth checking out! I brought home some really cool jewelry ...

Another place we stopped at was "The Mint Leaf" where I purchased this pretty little top ...

And skirt ...

While we were out shopping, my husband was at "The Dollar Tree" and picked up a couple of new pot holders and mermaid decorations for me ....

Wishing everyone a good week!
