here we come ny!

ahhh its thursday which means the mister and i are actually on a plane on my way to NY for the weekend for my best friends sister's wedding! i can't wait to see them! my best friend lives in boston at the moment...hopefully that will change sometime in the near future! so we don't get to see each other as often as we like but we do what we can! i have known my best friend since kindergarten so we go way back :D i just love her family, they love to dance and have a great time :) we are doing the bachelorette party on friday and i know we are gonna have a blast! just what i need to destress...DANCING!!

we will be staying through monday and don't really have any plans just to have fun and maybe do some exploring in brooklyn which is where we will be staying! although the moma sounds like a great place to spend a day :)

in other news i finally got a shipment of owl beads in! i got two new colors...white and grey! i will be making these for two shops and a bit more for the store and for the craft fair i will be in next saturday. i found some matching leather for them too which really excites me...these little owls just always make me smile! what makes you smile?

i also did a guest post for simply bike on bike ride dates. sandra who is the women behind the blog is a super cute bike riding mama to be! truly an inspiration!! thanks sweetie for hosting me!!

hope you have a great weekend! i will be back monday with a happy post!

 i just got back from my future cousin in laws bachlorette party in tahoe, boy was it fun! she has a great group of friends! we left early friday and got there around 4....we setup and got right down to business......drinking! hehehehe there were only 5 of us there until 10ish so we kept the margaritas flowing and relaxed in hot tube...

the beautiful bride to be!

wearing our bachlorette star glasses

tasting the margaritas...yum!

tahoe is always so pretty but during the fall it really is truly beautiful...scattered throughout the scenery is pops of bright yellow but as you get closer to the town there was a bunch of them....so incredibly beautiful! i LOVE fall...

saturday we just laid around and watched sleepaway camp which if you haven't seen this movie you really really must...not gonna say another word...just take my advice...so good

that night we went out to a club called opal which was in one of the casinos...we all got dolled up...played some games and drank a bit before we headed out...except there was a catch...we each got paired up with another girl for a scavenger hunt! each team got a list of things they had to do and document...each had a point so the more you did the better chance you had at winning. this was such a fun idea and made going out different and so much fun! i plan on doing this for a future birthday! here are a few from the night...

the "pre-party"drinking one of my favorites....champagne!

the bride to be had to get proposed to..

i had to find a guy with large muscles and squeeze them...this guy was also having a bachelor party..he was SOO nice!

a guy had to show me his belly button..he showed it to me twice..i guess he really likes his belly button

i had to ask a guy to donate money to the wedding

so random but this girl was getting painted...she is completely naked! acutally really cool...from far away she looks like she is really wearing shorts!

the drive back home this morning was a little rough but with a little sleep and some greasy food i am almost back to normal...i hope everyone had a great weekend! i'll be back on wednesday!

oh and by the way...the tandem bike is up in my shop!

good times...GREAT times

i had WAY TO MUCH FUN last night!!! she was amazing ...we were amazed...good times were had by all...only thing was that it was super crowded and there was a column in the way but i didn't let that spoil my night! have a good friday!!
