Gallery Crawl

No, it wasn’t one of Cville’s gallery crawl nights. But we sure do have a lot of artwork hung!

Ode to the grandmothers/mother’s wedding days

IMG_0516-2Blog

Travel art in the guest room – these three prints are from my summer studying abroad at Cambridge that my mom recently had framed

CambridgeBlog

And these three are a tribute to my grandfather’s time in WWII. The bottom right is a letter postmarked from Japan to my grandmother during their courtship

WWIIBlog

I also found the perfect spot for my collection of blue glass!

IMG_7600-2Blog

On a windowsill, in the guest room.

IMG_7599-2Blog

Gram’s artwork dons the laundry room, bright and cheerful

IMG_7603-2BlogIMG_7602-2Blog

And above my desk – a vintage box filled with office supplies and some more blue glass holding pens/sharpies

IMG_7605-2BlogIMG_7608-2Blog

Poking out is one of my favorite little notepads that Lisa’s Fine made for OpenSky

IMG_7607-2Blog

And this self-inking stamp I just had custom made with our new address from Etsy!

IMG_7611-2Blog

Makes paying the bills so much fun!!

IMG_7613-2Blog

This afternoon we also received a massive IKEA delivery!! To be sorted next week!

IMG_0515-2Blog

Matt was supposed to bring home some pizza dough for dinner from the bakery, but it slipped his mind this morning so <s>sarcasm begins<s> we had to go out to dinner! </s>sarcasm ends</s>

We literally have ZERO food in our fridge other than a corn on the cob and more cabbage (no more cabbage for me!) because we’re going out of town tomorrow, so we decided to walk to dinner at Beer Run!

IMG_0517-2Blog

We ran into two sets of friends from the bakery there. It’s hard not to run into friends at Beer Run – so we joined them.

PUMKING for me!

IMG_0523-2Blog

I had the roasted vegetable platter with mozzarella and brown rice for dinner.

IMG_0526-2Blog

Matt ordered an amazingly spicy [local] pork and beans dish. I shared my vegetables; he shared his protein.

IMG_0529-2Blog

Piece of dark chocolate called it a night.

We’re headed to Tennessee tomorrow for a wedding – Matt’s cousin Elizabeth is tying the knot! We’re heading out a 5:30am tomorrow and coming home Sunday night. 14 hours in the car in 2 days! It will be worth it though. Blogging schedule is unknown since we’re staying at Gran Bett’s house, but I’ll probably pop in more often than not from my phone : )

Gotta pack!

    Hi Kath! I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this question somewhere else, but I’m really curious…do you know why so many restaurants in Charlottesville have local meat options? I know that you and Matt both look for local meat sources on the menu, but even taking that into consideration I’ve been pretty amazed at the number of restaurants you’re able to get local meat at!!! Thanks!

    I saw Matt acting super sweet with one of the bakers this morning. For real. He was showing one of the guys how to make the top of the loaves & it looked like they were holding hands. I was dying laughing. It was nice to have entertainment while waiting for my breakfast stuff to be boxed up.
