Wonderful Weekend

We entertained our first house guest this weekend! My dear friend Leah came down to visit us from Dallas, and as always, we had a grand ole time. My husband is a saint, he endured Jane Austen, jewelry, "Magic Mike", and endless girl talk.

We explored Houston's Natural History museum, and downtown.  We also ingested a healthy amount of wine, delicious food, fun conversation, and loud laughs; it was quite a wonderful weekend. Here are some photos to get everyone caught up...

LOVE having a clean house, ready for our guest...

 

 

Brunch at the Hobbit Cafe

We had blueberry pancakes

 

Taking in some Faberge

 

 

 

This was my favorite, Faberge etched it to resemble ice crystals, and it was made for Alfred Nobel, the dude that the Nobel Prize is named after

 

 

 

 

Agate chair, by Harold Van Pelt; it is glorious!
