On the quest for the perfect non-present, present for my Dad's birthday {he insisted there be no birthday gifts...so we had to get creative}, the hubs & I headed out to the quaint thrifts & junks downtown.
It was massively fun & silly as always. Lunch at a groovy diner-- not retro, legitimately established forever ago with no updated remodels to spoil it...
Lunch was scrumptious & genuinely homemade. And the decor-- awesome photos of downtown in its late 40's heyday-- too cool~*
Then more thrifting {& perusing a hobby store} followed by a coffee & shared dessert. A gooey espresso chocolate brownie, also homemade, also lovely~*
After a quick stop at the Hallmark for trappings & trimmings, we had the pater familias' non present present set for the planned dinner at a local deli...
The slightly terrifying yet adorable 1970's kitty was sitting atop a Popsicle maker {we thought he'd enjoy coming up with bizarre combinations for the summer}...
Had a wonderful dinner with family & folks then Starbucks for afters...all and all a good time.
Today has been spent scurrying around doing housework & prepping for tomorrow. Still no time to complete my fashion Friday post...I suppose I shall be regularly irregular in my blogging habits~*
Hope your weekend was full of surprises, adventures & good coffee~*
What a FUN weekend! Love what you came up with for you dad :)
