millie sporting her tunic from chakra... (don't forget there's a 20% discount at chakra through the end of November for my readers with code sl20)
Well friends there was more (slightly) premature holiday merriment this weekend in the form of Christmas tree lightings (not ours, don't worry, I haven't fallen completely off the wagon) and gingerbread cookies and carolers…oh my. I feel like I’m cheating on Thanksgiving.
But it was worth it.
We teamed up with our friends Sara, Todd and Ava on Saturday evening and headed downtown to see the official unveiling of the lights at Neiman Marcus, which was pretty spectacular -- think fireworks and Santa repelling down the side of the store from the roof... We do things big here. It is Texas after all.
We also managed some decidedly more low-key activities in the midst of all the brouhaha. A simple dinner party Friday for our couples book club, a stellar lunch with Millie, lovely cousin Erin and boyfriend Ben at The Meddlesome Moth (followed by a not so low-key visit to the madhouse Etsy holiday sale…holy cow...insanity) and then (maybe the best part of the weekend) we picked all the ripe Meyer lemons off our little tree and combed through a slew of cookbooks searching for a way to give them their full-due. I’m leaning toward Alice Waters’ glazed Meyer Lemon cake. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Hope your weekend was fantastic!
don't you love main street garden?! looks like you all had so much fun.

ReplyDeleteWe went to moth on Saturday and while we were there, I thought to myself, "I bet Joslyn would like this place." I must have sensed your presence.

ReplyDeletesounds lovely... I am so in the spirit this year I am scaring my self. I think it has a lot to do with a little guy who BELIEVES. too. much. fun!
ReplyDeleteWe really liked it. It was our first time there, and I was impressed. We sat outside and the setting + the beautiful weather made for a perfect lunch. We had the hummus to start (which was delicious) and I ordered the shrimp & grits with jalapeno gravy (which was also delicious... rich but delicious).
ReplyDeletei love the lights on the building along with the little girls dresses.....gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLucy -- we were there for lunch too. i bet we were there at the same time!
