totally trendy thursday!

well...i'm back!!

Thus, this week *ttt* is dedicated to those who frequent, or plan to frequent Utah and want the scoop on what's hot!!

I had such a fun time on this trip rediscovering Utah and the many splendors it holds!! It was truly fun! But, beware, it's a BIG one!


So, here we go...

The Children's Hour Bookstore...where do I start!! My friend Amanda recommended that I should check it out...and boy, check it out I did!! It was like crack for Mom's!!! I was overwhelmed with all the beautiful baubles, darling clothes and shoes, and quaint and lovely books and notions! It was amazing! Of course I left without purchasing a thing because I couldn't decide on just one! I loved it all! Amazing...well worth a gawk!!

oh and there's...



I love this store!!! I remember going when it first opened...and it is still as great as ever!! I picked up the cutest salad servers that were silver with turqoise handles...so cute...I can't wait to use them at a BBQ this summer!! How festive.

And I wanted to get this cute job/habit chart for Miss M, but I thought she was a little too young for it right now! It was so neat. A great way to encourage all the good habits and praise them for sticking to it! And it's easy for little ones to use, just turn the knob for a job well done!

then my biggest splurge...



ah...the arch nemesis...fabric! We totally lack cute fabric stores here in CT!! But, much to the dismay of the hubster, I found this great one right down the street in SJ!! And, it gets better....two doors down...a Cafe Rio (lovin' the pork salad)!! What a fun date with a girlfriend...lunch and fabric...can it get better? Oh, yes, there's a Cold Stone Creamery around the corner!! Too much for one person! Anyway, I splurged on some fun fabric...oh what will be the next big project.....????

good friends are totally trendy...

we had such a fun playdate with Katherine and Grace! They are too cute! It was fun to get outside, have good conversation, and just be. It was a green and white day!



Katherine also happens to be the queen of glimpses (those are her original photos behind us in the pic) ...http://wallinphotography.blogspot.com/....check it out!



always a must...



Somehow I am always in town for the Jewelry Sale/Clearance...I think they know I'm coming!! I never leave without some trinket or decor...I am such a sucker for Sundance!! So many deals...so little time!

and last, but definitely not least...

we had a gastrointestinal feast!

Love Training Table with their dipping sauce, Cafe Rio (see above), Iceberg Shakes (slc, lehi) {coconut is my personal fave!}, Provo Bakery orange rolls (190 East 100 North), Market Street Grill (slc), Melting Pot (slc), Kneaders (south jordan), Thaifoon (gateway) , Lemon Grass Thai (slc)...and the list goes on!!




But I think the best meals were had with great friends and family...a trend that never seems to die!! ps...thanks for feeding us!
