Recent road trip to Spokane..... ooooooooooo did we have fun!!
A romantic getaway morphed into a 'buying trip' that got away on us a bit.... well when you find the good stuff you have to go for it!
We packed the car full, again.... stuff (weird, useless stuff to most people) that will be transformed into lights, a brass foot rail for the bar we've been planning to build (score!), cigar boxes (just cool for display), another chair, the perfect pieces to finish the chandelier that just wasn't coming together, until now! So much inspiration!
I'm going to give you a few secret spots in Spokane we love...
don't tell anyone....
Scored BIG at The Vintage Rabbit Antique Mall...(secret #1) - awesome prices on funky junk... vintage clothes that are fantastic if you like that kind of thing, which I do, and mucho selection on everything from vintage tableware to antique furniture with enough flotsam thrown in to make it a worthy search, fun all the way around!
Tasty meal at the "Tomato Street" Italian Restaurant. Toasted ravioli and wood fired pizza, Caesar salad and yes, Chianti... .yum! Our favorite wood fired pizza place: "The Catacombs" in the Montvale Hotel
(that's secret #2).
Hit the arts supply store (Michaels) for some drawing paper, new pencils, articulated man, he's fun - don't be a perv! Michaels is not a secret but it is awesome! Bought supplies we didn't plan to but always need - 'hey it's on sale!' Somebody stop me!!!
Came out wearing glitter - how does that happen?
A stop to buy things packed in a little pink striped bag....
wink, wink...
A comfy hotel room... (sorry, this is staying a secret, nope not the Montvale this time but that is a great hotel! That's secret #3.)
Wine and chocolate.... new Yellow Tail blend 'Big Bold Red' - delish, Toblerone... perfect combo -
Secret #4 (not a place but the combo is a good one)
Stupid, funny movie.... laughing our heads off, drinking wine, eating chocolate, life is good! Ok we do this all the time, maybe it was just the change of scenery....
Here is the big secret... seriously, you already have to stand in line for breakfast here so don't tell anyone.... "Frank's Diner" has the best breakfast in the whole world and Bart know's his breakfast! (Secret #5)
