the weekend

Friday started with Riley making a new window display for the shop
I'll be sharing the completed window photos later. 
Friday evening we teamed up with our business neighbor, 
BlueJay's Barber Shop, to host a block party on our little block! 
It rained all morning and afternoon and we crossed our fingers it would 
clear up because we planned to have this event outdoors. Luckily the rain
went away and created a wonderful (yet chilly) evening! 
It was so much fun and such a success. We have events like this every 
First Friday of the month so if you're ever in Enid, Oklahoma please come 
hang out with us!! 
Saturday evening after work was filled with friends, eating kebabs... 
and watching the thunder vs. spurs game! (with our friend's latest thrift store
find photobombing us)
Sunday we went to OKC, and while we were there we had brunch at our 
favorite pizzeria, The Wedge.
We shared the Hang-Over pizza, which was: marinara, mozzarella, 
house made sausage, pancetta, roasted potatoes, and local eggs. As well 
as mimosas! So yummy. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend too!

    Also, I'm very jealous of your brunch at The Wedge.

  5. I watched that game too! And then caught the Celtics and Heat last night.

    I really like your first Friday events. I wish there was more of that in my area, but stores tend to close around 6 in our little downtown area. It's so weird! They're missing out on a ton of business, especially in the spring and summer.

  7. 1. That pizza sounds delicious! We love the wedge so we'll definitely have to try this! (We only live about 15 minutes from it)
    2. So glad your block party was a success! I have been wanting to head up to your shop and since it's summer I might drag my friend along for the ride!
    3. Wasn't that game awesome! We're slightly addicted... this may cause an issue when the season's over :)

  14. I missed out on most of the block party excitement, unfortunately, but I enjoyed chatting and being the irresponsible parent with an 18 month old shutting it down at 11 ;) And thanks for coming over for kebabs! They were delish, and we love your company always!
