Last Sunday Kelly and I went to Ballard bakery Honore’ for an after church catch-up. It was my first time going, and I was super excited as I had heard from several people that it was incredible and had some great backyard seating to boot. You guys, it was so good. And it’s right next to Delancey, so needless to say, I was a happy camper.
Kelly got a ginger scone and something else I can’t remember. I had a Kouign Amann (kind of like a compact, intense croissant… salty-sweet and amazing), and my first ever macaron (not to be confused with a macaroon). Why had I never tried a macaron before?! It was amazing! Mine was toasted coconut and salted caramel. Goodness gracious it was good. Plus pretty incredible coffee. Whew!
Check it out if you are in the neighborhood!
…and Happy 4th! Hope you have a great weekend planned. I’m heading out of the city for some fresh air, family, and friends (fish and fireworks will probably also be involved… but that’s far to many Fs). Sorry for the alliteration.

One of the things I love most about living in Seattle is going to live shows. My friends Scott (e. guitar), Ben (guitar & vocals), and Zach (bass) formed a soul band a few months ago and named themselves Hot Bodies in Motion. They played the Tractor Tavern on Friday night and did suchagreatjob! Their music is… well… hot, the kind that will make you scrunch up you face and say, ‘yea…’ while you bob your head a little.

You can see HBIM next on May 14th at the High Dive with Allen Stone (also totally great and worth seeing).
Hope you had a great weekend, happy Monday!

On Saturday, as I was walking along Market Street in Ballard to Buffalo Exchange it started to pour down rain so I ran into the closest store as I was not dressed for rain and I didn’t want to get all the things I was about sell, wet. It happened to be Annie’s Affordable Art, which I walk by occasionally and notice for it’s awesome SEATTLE posters on display, but don’t usually make a point to go into. However, I ended up finding some really great things!
Vintage National Park greeting cards:
You can also find these on-line, here.
Cavallini Decoupage Gift Wrap:
{I plan to use these as posters actually, in my dining room}
You can also find these online, here.
Just another reason to love Ballard.
