Great Midwest Balloon Fest 2010

This past weekend my husband and I spent Friday evening at the Great Midwest Balloon Fest. This was the event's inaugural year, and I would say Friday night was a success for them! Unfortunately the Kansas weather didn't cooperate and for the most part the rest of the weekend's events had to be cancelled. We had such a great time the first night though! We arrived with enough time to see a bunch of balloons take off for an evening flight, then at sunset another round of balloons set up for a balloon glow. We will definitely be back next year! Enjoy!

Friday Finds!

Look at these awesome oversized poufs! These are handknit by Dana's Joy, who has a variety of items similar to these. I just love the charcoal color and the nubby texture. It's 'room fashion' that is also quite functional! Stop by her shop and have a look around! Have a lovely (almost fall!) weekend!

sept:5 I have no idea if this tree/bush/plant is supposed to look like this, or if it's droopy from the extended hot weather we've had. Bring on Fall!

The end of the week and into the weekend started off with a baking frenzy! I made one item every day, in hopes of filling my freezer with deliciousness!
