i think three day weekends are all the more delicious when you unexpectedly have them OFF. walls are coming down at my place of work, so i'm free. freeeeeeeeeeeee! we left the house at 10am and had an (also unexpected) adventure day.
breakfast: coffee in our new favorite shop.... greg's garage, also known as trystero, where he serves up macchiatos in twice a month tastings, made from beans he roasts himself (that he will gladly deliver to your door). this beat intelligentsia, yo.
what do you spie with your little eye?
lunch: pulled pork sliders and cheddar burgers in a converted warehouse, also known as golden road brewery. ruggy won with his choice of meat, but i won with my choice of brew: get up offa that brown english ale.

we parked our happy asses here.
don't ask me how i missed the floral awesomeness underneath, i was blinded by the all the sunshiny wovenosity (and tipsily concentrating on my host's hand, who delighted in showing me the year). still thirsty, we grabbed some vermouth on the way home.
you know, for dinner.
I'll have three of those days every week, thanks.....
ReplyDeleteBest sounding day ever.
ReplyDeleteSounds like great fun. Any place that has a doggy deck is a winner in my books - I get to make a fuss of other people's canines. And what is pulled pork? It sounds delicious, nothing like that in New Zealand!
ReplyDeleteawww... I need to fabric shop in a big city. Enjoy the 3-day weekend; looks like you are off to a good start!!
ReplyDeleteI had a fabricilicious day, too! :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm....pulled pork sliders. Must make some soon. (although I've got a date at Hussar Grill tomorrow, and there's a big rack of warthog ribs with my name on them. And just you wait until you see my African fabric treasures...*cue maniacle laughter* mwua hahahaha)
ReplyDeleteWARTHOG ROBS. GIMMIE.
Deleteoh how i envy you, lovely oona.. i have 23 hours long weekend :( (minus the sleeping time), and even that is ruined with the rain..
ReplyDeleteoh mokosha. i hope the 24th hour at least has a nightcap in it.
DeleteSounds wonderful! Adventures like these make me think I should grab my boy and explore some corners of the city that we don't usually frequent... Well, as soon as he's waded out of the knee deep pile of essays-to-write...
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm going to sip some iced coffee now while I'm waiting for the rhubarb cupcakes to finish baking, and then we're off for a friend's birthday picnic in the park, followed by the Carnival of Cultures (and lots of Mojito!). :)
rhubarb. cupcakes?! WHAT!
DeleteWhat a FABULOUS day!!! Sounds perfect and yay for vintage fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm feeling vicarious happy vibes! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a kickass day!! Gotta love a three-day weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwesome day! From beginning to end. And mostly because who doesn't love an unexpected day off. I'll take two please.
ReplyDeleteOhMaGaw, pork sliderssssss....
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is awesome!!!
I'm having a three-day weekend right now actually, unplanned due to catching the flu! But its cool, give me a chance to catch up on my oonas!!
i hate that you have the flu, but i love all the emilykate goodness in my inbox right now ...
DeleteThree day weekends really are the best! I can't agree more. I am so jealous of the fabric you scored. I recently bought a vintage yellow tweed fabric from an Etsy shop. Yellow has been on my mind lately. I don't know if it's the summer time or a new fancy of mine.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your day off. What a list of indulgences!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure! I can not say what sounds better, breakfast, lunch or desert, I am for sure going to that coffee place! yay for coffee!!
ReplyDeleteyou MUST go! he's on facebook & twitter too.
Deleteyou MUST go!
DeleteOooooooo....coffee. I love when you talk about food, it makes me feel all adventurous, like I need to be hitting a beer garden stat.
ReplyDeleteI love the word "wovenosity". Perfect for this kind of fabric, awesome bordering on monstrosity. A very Oona kind of fabric and word. :-)
