miller union and craft fairs

yesterday i was treated to a delicious birthday dinner at miller union. it was a date night. i love those! we had heard rave reviews about miller union and rachel got me a gift certificate (she's a great sister). we pulled up to the brady ave address and i was instantly surprised at how sheeshee it was. valet parking, an asten martin parked right in front, but as soon as we stepped inside i felt like i was in a modern farm house. oversized pendants hang over farm tables and tiny booths fill the center of the restaurant. everything is candlelit and cozy. the menu is simple and to the point utilizing seasonal and local ingredients.









this lighting makes me and sam look like we could use a few more zzzzzzs.



rubarb sweet custard

highlights: whipped rudabegas, fried grits, carrot ginger soup, the trout. i even LOVED the brussell sprouts! another highlight: mr. kevin gillespie was also enjoying a meal while we were there!

a huge thank you to the wonderful lindsey and brittany for a delicious lunch and wonderful company today!!!





i was able to finish up my goods for the thread and canvas event on sat. here's what you can look out for:



ring and roll balls



zipper pouches



reversible hanker chief bibs

and oh yea...sam was listening. i love him and not just because he buys me perfect shoes.
