glass, glee and girlfriends

last week
i met one of my very best friends, amanda
for a girl's day in boston...

our first stop was the MFA
for the Chihuly exhibit
Photobucket
my fave: the persian ceiling

i was literally blown away-
(no pun intended, i promise)
the detail, scale and symmetry
left me with a whole new appreciation for the art of glass blowing.

these enormous chandeliers
designed to hang at eye level
have my wheels turning for a piece in my dining room...

glass "baskets"
shown with the native american pieces that were the inspiration

we left the MFA, hoped the train to newbury
and thanks to a quick facebook shout-out for recommendations
grabbed lunch at parish cafe
YUM.

afterwards we (mostly) window shopped
until
meeting up with a like-minded blogger, blair
for mac and cheese, street-side
Photobucket
slightly obsessed with the up-cycling here of tomato can to wine bucket

and i just have to get in a word about how amazing this whole "blogging world" thing is...
being able to share our lives, inspirations and obsessions with a virtual set of "friends"
is even cooler when you meet those people in real life
and fall into conversations as easy as with your nearest and dearest
pretty. awesome.

(
girls, let's please set a date for more...)
...
high-on-life after dinner
we reverted back to our dorky high-school selves
and belted our hearts out
at
glee: live!

Photobucket
no, we had no shame asking the 12-year-old behind us to snap our photo

the
warblers- he-ll-OH! version of teenage dream...

AH-mazing.

and then
i needed a week to recover.

hello,
i'm back.

SUCH a fun day and night - loved every minute and would love to do it again! A beach date sounds like a very nice idea right about now! xo
