I had a great time catching up with one of my best friends who was in town today. She only had a bit of free time but we made the most of it. We decided on brunch at the library. Our new public library has a wonderful cafe – the Cookbook Cafe and it’s finally open so we wanted to check it out.
Over a delicious meal (I had the breakfast grilled cheese) and a cappuccino, we caught up on the latest is on our lives and then we wandered around the floors of the library.
I have got to go over there more often. The downtown library is not too far from my home but I have a smaller branch closer to me that I visit. I may have to make it a point to go to our main library every couple of months to check it out. Not only that but their gift shop is now open too.
I couldn’t resist picking up a set of pin back buttons for my book bags. Aren’t these cute? I especially like the Night Time Reader one as I do love staying up late reading. You can check out some of the artist’s other work on his website.
There were a ton of other cute bookish gift items and some even from local artists. I may need to reach out to the gift shop and see if they want to carry some of my journals! That would be so freaking cool if they would. A girl can dream right?
Anyway, that is the scoop for the weekend. I hope you all had some fun or at least a relaxing one. Now I better get to sleep because Monday morning will get here soon enough right. Have a great start of the week!
How fun that you met your friend at the Central Library! You know, you and I should do that some Saturday. Maybe in the fall? I’m going to be out for a bit, but will be back around after Labor Day. I knew the cafe was open. And I haven’t actually seen the new library yet. It’s a long trek for me, but Saturday would be better – well, if we could pick a non-football Saturday. Ha! I bet they would consider selling your journals. They are great. You should ask anyway. 🙂
What adorable pins! It sounds like you had a great visit with your friend, Iliana. We had a quiet weekend. Managed to get in a little school clothes shopping for my daughter, but other than that, it was low key. Our first weekend with nothing really going on in a long while! LOL I wish I could say I got some good reading time in. Oh well. One of these days! Have a great week!
Kay – We should totally do that! Saturdays are good for me so yes, we’ll find one that is non-football 🙂 You are going to love it!
Literary Feline – I saw pictures of Mouse from her performances. She looked adorable. Good to have a low key weekend every once in a while right? I’m sure you’ll be busy in no time when the little one goes back to school! Have a great week!
Sounds like a wonderful day spent with your friend, Iliana. And those pin back buttons are adorable!
A library with a cafe AND a gift store?! I want to join you and Kay!! Wish I lived closer, but someday I’ll come for a visit.
