What a weekend! It all started with my Jewelry Show at Studio 6 in the Paseo Arts District of Oklahoma City. It was a great night, I met a lot of people that popped in the gallery. My friend Megan came by to see me... and then at the end a very nice lady that was unable to make a decision and loves handmade jewelry, purchased 5 pieces! It was great.

On Saturday, Matt and I got up and had coffee and breakfast at our local bakery, La Baguette, here in Norman. From there we headed to the Flea Market at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. I Love this little market with all my heart. The prices are great, the people are interesting and there is always something I "need". I picked up this vintage, Italian hat... I am afraid I might be allergic to the dust or the feathers on it though : ( It will make a nice decoration if I can't wear it.

After the market, Matt and I headed home, he started watching football and I showered and got ready to visit the Girlie Show in Oklahoma City. I've wanted to attend or participate in this show since I learned about it a couple of years ago. I applied and was selected as an alternate. I was bummed that I didn't get in but, if I had, I would have had to pull off the "being in two places at once" trick. The show was great and had a lot of great art and handmade items. I ended up with two baby gifts, some handmade cards and a pair of earrings for me. I did a little more thrifting/antiquing when I left the Girlie Show. There is a big antique market in the adjoining building. This place was really great but the prices were a little too high for my budget, it was fun to look at everything though.

I also purchased some home made tamales and salsa from a man that was sitting outside the produce stores behind this building. I haven't eaten a lot of tamales in my life but I thought I would branch out. They were very tasty but the salsa was by far the best part. I am a huge connoisseur of salsa!
I got back home just in time for Matt and I to ride our bikes to campus corner to watch the Razorbacks play. We don't have cable so we have to find a friends house to watch at or a bar. We opted for the bar. Our friends Reese, Katie and Austin all met us down there... it was fun times. They are all Arkansas/Oklahoma fans so it was bittersweet for everyone since Arkansas won and Oklahoma didn't.
Sunday brought about a load of productivity... I guess it was the time change? I don't know... Whatever it was I'd like it to happen every day. I got up, did all my grocery shopping, got plastic for our windows, cooked lunch, sat in the sun for a few minutes, cleaned up the garage, put all my winter clothes out, took Arlo to the lake to play, rearranged my studio, cooked tuna cakes for supper, baked banana bread, made spilt pea soup for the week, washed and folded most of the laundry, and fell asleep on the couch at 8:30! It was awesome! Now I am excited to see what this week has in store. I just saw the weather, highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's, I'll take it. I am also starting my second round of boot camp at the Martial Arts center. I missed the 5:30 class this morning because my alarm didn't go off, probably not the best way to start... luckily there is a class at 9:00 too. I hope you enjoy some of the pictures from our adventure yesterday!
