Well, yesterday was DH's birthday and we had a low key celebration with Margaret over for knitting and a surprise visit from my mom, La Flaca. We chowed down on General Tsao's Chicken and Hot and Sour Soup and then enjoyed some cupcakes from Whole Foods (so far my local favorite).

La Flaca spent the night and this afternoon we strolled through downtown Caldwell. We went into new stores, Interior Living and The Frame Shop, and stopped into Tasty Coco. Tasty Coco is a very hip coffee shop with not only yummy coffee and sandwiches but also the nicest people working there. Did I even mention they have amazing artwork on display? Truly amazing local artists.

Then we found Somewhere in Time. This shop has a mix of French Country, Country, antiques, and rustic. We couldn't resist picking up this laundry sign as well as the Lamb's soap sign. Deborah is the owner and her mom Arlene works there. Arlene was incredibly pleasant and extremely helpful. Let me just say it was really difficult to not walk out with more (antique sewing bobbins, sheep paraphernalia, rustic wood boxes, cross-stitch samplers, planters, etc). The store is so well organized and has such cute things, like they had sachets made from old quilts. Definitely check them out if you can!
