Pacific Northwest, day 2

Boy it doesn't take long for me to get behind!  Here it is day three and I haven't blogged about day two yet.  This is an all day rainy day, so not as much going on here with me so I will catch up!

The best croissants ever 

Onion Gruyere

I used to walk to Cafe Besalu from A and R's previous place, but now it is three+ miles so I drove over Sunday morning for our usual Sunday morning treat of Onion Gruyere croissants. They are so good and flakey. This was the first time I had been that I didn't have to stand outside and wait to get in.  I still had a line of 10 or so but I was indoors, which on a chilly April morning was welcome. I was a little nervous when I didn't see any in the display case but, they were just coming out of the oven-lucky me!

View of the creation area. I love Ranunculus to I had to have a picture of these gorgeous yellow ones.

The view from Sunset Park

I took my latte and went to Sunset Park another favorite location in Seattle with a fab view.I think I'd want this sweet blue house right next to the park with a great view of the boat harbor. Sweet. You can see the Olympics on a clear day.

The front of my house ( wouldn't it be nice??)

The view from the back of the house I'd buy

 Sunday was garden planning and mostly plant shopping, the fun part of garden planning.  I love a little shop at the U Village and that was our first stop, which also meant a stop in my favorite rubber stamp store, Impress. Where I used great restraint and bought one stamp and some baker string.

Too bad Amy was hungry, we had to have one of these frozen yogurts- I had white peach with dark chocolate chips and mango. Yummm.

I hadn't been to Trophy Cupcakes-my favorite cupcakes are from Cupcake Royale.  I ventured in for a look, but didn't buy. I still am going with Cupcake Royale.  I am picky about the cake to icing ratio.  I like more cake than icing. These, seemed to go the other way. But, pretty.

Next stop- Swanson's for plants....

Love the green chair

These are so sweet, aren't they?

I forgot to take a picture of the haul- coming soon!

Last stop was PCC grocery, with a cart full of herbs, and delicious food.  We ended the day with a meal to remember made by Rachel with my addition of the cooked Romaine, which was a hit, and watching the movie Cyrus.

A busy but, really fun day!

A hint of things to come?  Craft time and it involves wool and sharp things. Ideas?
