Rave - Smartypants, Biryani & Cupcakes

So today started out with the whole family going out to look for lighting. Our first stop was Seattle Design Center. This place is HUGE. Many showrooms with some open to the public, very nice things but spendy.

We wound up buying our 5 can lights at Alexander Lighting.

Next on the agenda was lunch/dinner at Chutney's Bistro in Wallingford at Wallingford Center.. But by the time we arrived it was 3:30 and they were closed. We were VERY hungry but I talked hubby into waiting till 4:30 when the reopened. So we killed some time at Harolds Lighting. Found a great table top fan. and something we didn't expect to see in a lighting store, niches. Now I want to add one to each bedroom!

So back to Wallingford Center we go but Chutney's was not open yet, so we looked around. First thing we saw was Cupcakes. We bought some for dessert. Two Red Velvet, one Hummingbird, one Vanilla Chocolate and a mini Green Tea. I can tell you the Hummingbird and Green Tea cupcakes are delicious. Hubby ate the Vanilla Chocolate and the Red Velvets are for tomorrow's dessert.

I also found Smartypants! I mentioned them in the previous post, they just crack me up.

Lunch/dinner at Chutney's was fantastic as usual. I always get the Lamb Biryani. I must learn how to make this!!

Rave - University District Street Fair

This post is a bit late but I wanted to mention we went to our local University District Street Fair. It was rainy which we LOVED. We saw quite a few great things.
The first was Art of Wings Some very beautiful fairy wings, will have to get a pair when my daughter is a little bigger.
Next was Blowing Sands Glass Studio Simply beautiful. When we remodel the living room we will have to check them out.
The funniest thing we saw were creatures made out of socks called Smartypants. Unfortunatly I did not pick up a business card so I do not know if they have a website. And searching for Smartypants did not turn up anything. If anyone has info on this company PLEASE contact me.
