We had a great weekend last weekend. Valentine's day was great. I came into work to a few pleasant surprises from a coworker. She loves to bake so she brought in some delicious treats for everyone. She also has been trying to get rid of a few of her grandmother's items that are no longer in use, and one of them was a pin cushion. With my new found obsession of sewing, my ears perked up to this. A vintage pin cushion WITH pins!

Saturday night we met up with our friend Jess and a bunch of her friends at
Brownstone Tavern. Sadly Jess is moving to New York this week. It's a great opportunity for her, but we're going to miss her a lot!

Bye Jess! We'll miss you! |
Sunday we met up with my cousin Laurel and my Aunt Shirley. We are so excited to be welcoming Laurel to Chicago!! She found a great apartment in the South Loop with a killer view. We met up for brunch at
The Bongo Room, where initially they told us the wait was going to be 60-90 minutes! We walked around to a few other nearby brunch hot spots, put our names in, and eventually walked back to the Bongo Room. Good thing, too, since they called our names soon after. I would definitely recommend checking out the red velvet pancakes here if you are ever in the area for breakfast. And since pancakes are a breakfast food, I'm sure they are healthy ;)
