My week in photos

I had a few days off this week so I really tried to make the most of it

A Little Nashville Vintage

Just one of several, here's a cheerful Nashville vintage store. Expect to find reasonable prices, the walls decked with Bettie Paige paintings, lots of cowboy boots, and vintage kitsch everywhere. What makes it special? There are still bargains to be had in the world of retail vintage. The displays are also delightful.

The outside of the building makes it hard to miss
....and hard to pass up.

Around Nashville -Curious Heart

Located in the Berry Hill area, this is the gift shop that has everything you never knew you needed. 

Look at all this stuff that's outside the place, how could I not stop here?

On to Bliss...yarns that is

 

This little treasure was tucked in a little shopping center across the street from The Perch. I just about skipped over there.

Just Visiting

After the snow melted a bit we packed up the car and headed to Nashville for a little visit.



Headed to Nashville



It's funny how when you live in a place you miss a lot of the little gems because of school, work, and well, life. A weekend trip let's me fill in all the gaps and remind me of why I do love Nashville

Just a few miles out from the city is Brentwood. It's definitely worth visiting. We had brunch at The Perch, a fantastic little crepes place. The staff was so cheerful and you felt right at home in the bright cafe with beam ceilings and woodsy chic decor.

Dad's turkey, arugula, and cranberry crepe.

I had a hankering for a Masala Chai and my dad tried the Orange Creamsicle Latte', both were delicious. The menus had so many different and interesting combinations I guess I should have been a bit more adventurous! But, one sip of that chai and I don't regret it, not one bit. I ordered the Green Apple and Brie crepe.

While we sipped our hot drinks we read the paper and relaxed. The Perch really has a laid back and friendly atmosphere. Our food came out very quickly and was served on scalloped paper plates. The presentation was pretty but, not pretentious.
As for the crepes, well it's best I don't live here or I'd stop by everyday as it appeared that many do. A lot of regulars came in for a cup of coffee or to chat.

Once our bellies were full of deliciousness we headed our to Bliss Yarns. Oh, joy. Oh, rapture.
