Broome Street General Store

Last weekend we discovered another little gem close to home. I'd been hearing some chatter within the blogosphere about Broome Street General Store and when I realized how close it is...well, no excuses not to visit. It's an absolutely charming little place tucked away on Rowena Avenue in Silverlake. I love the patio area out front complete with a white fence and lavender. Inside you'll find all kinds of goodies from tasty treats to vintage bits and pieces. Everything from old to new is so beautifully displayed that you just want to spend a good hour looking around the place. I was all over the vintage letterpress paraphernalia. We tried the verbena mint iced tea which was delightful and you shouldn't leave without one of their chocolate custards (with caramel on the bottom...ooo!). It's such a great place for a little summer gathering.

Monday morning

I have been getting to bed way too late this weekend. It's good and bad. Lots of ideas and have been floating around in my head which is such a refreshing change of pace but can really keep me up at night. I've always had trouble getting to sleep because my brain just doesn't like to settle down when the rest of my body does. Without other distractions, my brain goes crazy with all of the attention. Anyway, what a groggy morning. I needed this waiting on the side of the bed for me when I woke up. Not just today but, um, everyday. Ok, thanks.
