Asheville Interlude

We spent the weekend in a cabin in Asheville, NC. It was my first time there, which always shocks everyone because it's full of vintage/antique shops and hippie-type people, both of which are my favorite things. The mountains were beautiful and the city seems very laid-back. I said on facebook that I felt like I cheated on Wilmington, and it's true-- I kind of want to move there now!

A friend gave us a few recommendations and we had breakfast at Early Girl Eatery, dinner at The Laughing Seed, and shopped for vintage house-things at Screen Door. At Screen Door I found a coconut purse in one of the booths (!) and a metal chair that folds out into a step stool, which is a must have for the kitchen because I'm short and can never reach anything. Sunday we picked up brownies at French Broad Chocolates.. I think I want to move there just because they have more than one fancy chocolate shop! Ahh!

It was cold so I forgot to take a proper outfit photo, but look! New coat! I found it at my favorite thrift shop-- or I should say the wonderful Ruth had it hiding it in the back-- and it was only ten bucks. It's made of sheep's wool and desperately needs to be dry cleaned because it's awfully yellowed, but its the warmest thing ever.

Coconut!
