Pumpkin Patch

We made a visit to a pumpkin patch a few days ago. The field was filled with big and small colorful pumpkin. It was so beautiful there. I can't resist and kept my camera shooting.It was very generous of the farm to offer a free corn maze.
One more day to go and our lantern is on already! Happy Thursday!

Mini vacation

We headed north for a mini road trip last week. It was nice to be in the country. Even though it was only a few hundred miles away from home, it was so different in many ways. We went to a little town filled with European shops and resturants. There was a small grocery store just like the ones in the movies. They have a lot of gourmet jelly, sauce, candy bars and tons of cheese. I love grocery stores. =)
We tried the Danish pancakes with fresh strawberries and buttermilk pancakes in a local restaurant.
The Danish ones was okay. But the buttermilk pancake was sooo fluffy that it was one of the best ones we've ever had. We made a stop at the Mission Ranch by the ocean. It was so beautiful and peaceful there.

Happy Wednesday! =)

Feature in Esty Tresury

Girl in the Rain is featuring in Esty Tresury. Thanks Vintage Embellishment for including us and all of you who like it. =)

Weeking outing

We went to the Global festival in a local park over the weekend. It featured food and culture from all over the world. It was nice to have a chance to try out different food at one place.
This is a Japanese pancake called Okonomiyaki. It is made from a special batter mixed with cabbage and corn and topped with teriyaki sauce. Delicious!We then went to one of the oldest bookstore in town, Vroman's. It has many books that we don't often see in other bookstores. The Crafter's Companion features many popular crafters. It gave me a lot of inspiration.The other one is Downtown DIY Sewing. It has a lot nice patterns and the styles are very up-to-date. Definitely recommended if you are planning to do some sewing.
Have a great week! =)
