shopping, cupcakes & lemonade..oh my!!

greetings! hope you all had a wonderful weekend! it was a hot & humid one here in chicago, but we survived! ha! ha!

as promised below are a few photos from my weekend. we had a great time over at Swedish days over in geneva, il. check out this awesome plant i saw. it is certainly something you would imagine seeing down in florida or something! not something you would imagine seeing in geneva, illinois! ha! ha!



for those of you who missed my post from 2 posts ago, check out this adorable lemonade stand below. isn't it adorable! i especially love the saying, "keep calm and drink some lemonade" --- love it! there were tons of sidewalk sales all over town! next year i am leaving my husband at home! ha! ha!



anyway, i picked up these adorable white pierced lanterns from two's company. i looked them up online and they are far more expensive that what i paid! i really scored a deal on these! they were marked down to $16/each! i was only going to buy one, but good thing i decided to buy both! i love them! i found them online selling for as much as $80.00/each!



ironically, i own a large pierced lantern in Wedgwood blue and wanted a pair in white. can't believe me luck! sometimes i have faith in "the secret" -- especially, when it comes to finding parking spaces! ha! ha!



oh well, aren't they cute! i know....love 'em!!i also bought this little hanging basket. i threw in some apples for the photo, not sure what i am going to use it for yet? mail, flowers....not sure? i am sure i will come up with something. best of all this little basket was on sale for ONLY $3.50! i thought for sure it would be on sale for over $10.00, glad i was wrong!



we also made a stop over at the latest crave. a cute little cupcake shop that all about pink & green! check out the pink & green umbrellas above that belong to a neighboring restaurant. so cute! sorry, my photo doesn't really do justice!



below you will see saturday's selection of cupcakes! we decided to go with the snickerdoodle cupcake. i love snickerdoodles!!



ops, someone was a little hungry! my husband had my half of the cupcake sliced in half before i could even take a photo...oh well, it was delicious anyway! ha! ha!
