Today was one of those days that when it’s over you wish you could have a day like that everyday. The boy and I spent the day out in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood hoping from one shop to the next, which is easy to do in this area.
We started the day at a few thrift stores and unfortunately came up empty handed. You’ll have those kind of days when you’re searching for hidden treasures. We then hoped to Left Bank books to snatch up Hunger Games. I received an overwhelming amount of people suggesting I read the book, so I’ll give it a try. We spent some time in the children’s book section which always takes us back 20 years or so. We then perused the periodical section and I discovered some healthy eating tips from the Food Network magazine and saw Ryan Gosling on the cover of GQ. (I’ve loved him ever since he was in The Notebook)
Our stomachs were growling like angry lions so we walked across the street to devour some lovely pizza at Pi. I’ve eaten there so many times, but the cornmeal pizza crust never gets old. I remember playing a I dare you game where we called NYC pizza once and asked them if they were the Real Piza. that was hilarious. You can also check this dare plus more I dare you by following this link. (brought leftovers home!!!) Before heading home I drug the boy next door to Rothschield’s, a pretty snazzy antique store with overpriced goodies. I left behind a really great card catalogue unit that I would of died to have. Definitely NOT worth the $600 price tag.
We spent the evening on the couch again, drinking chocolate chai, reading my new book and watching some more of Mad Men. Life is good my friends. Life is good! How did you spend your saturdays?
I’ve been busy tidying up our little loft and look forward to showing you some sneak peeks come monday. Fingers crossed and don’t forget to check back!
