Susie is dyslexic. For a moment she thought these were Prada.

On to Anthropologie.
Shopping with Poppy is extra fun. She buys whatever we tell her to buy.

Poppy bought these

She bought gorgeous earrings AND the matching necklace.

She bought these too. Well, not the camera.

Our collected thoughts on Anthro prices.

Dinner was extraordinary.
We started with the seafood platter. Teaching Susie how to eat oysters was especially fun.

I'm still full.

I thought it said Prada, too!

I bought that same camera for dh for Father's Day. It's the camera that took those kick-ass pictures I sent you from Mystic.

Dinner looked awesome. Now I want lobster at 8:00 a.m..

I laughed my ass off following you gals on Twitter last night. I'm waiting for Act II tonight. ;)

I think we're all dyslexic then, because I saw Prada when I first looked at that photo.

Thanks for the report!

ooooo! (squeal)! Thanks for keeping us in on things so we feel included. I followed you crazy gals on Twitter last night (well, 3 hours later, but it was funny to read).

Shit. Does this mean I have to bring a dress? I think I see dresses in this photo. I was planning on packing dirty shorts (to busy to do laundry) and a couple of ratty swimsuits. Don't tell me y'all are upping the ante here.
Woman, you sure know how to entertain the conference attendees!

Ribbon pillows are sooo easy to make (unless, like me, your sewing machine is having a little nervous breakdown of sorts)

Unless you've seen Poppy with asparagus, you've never really caught her at her best.

Oooo, I love the Anthro dress too. And I HAVE the blouse Ms. Sunshine's wearing (my bra shows, too, so I accessorize the blouse with a colorful Tar-zhay brassiere).

Also, I'm drooling at the lovely gluttony.

I'm guessing that tomorrow (your big day!) will make yesterday look like a trip to the dog wash.

What fun! Thanks for including us. I felt like I was there :)

I felt like I was there too.

Just a couple of things. I missed commenting on the shining house post but how good does Youngest's room look all white? Fantastic?

The tent looks pretty inviting too.

And I am almost recovered from the most insane desire to jump on a plane to Tuvalu!
KPB said…
Wait.

I just noticed that at dinner whoever the two are in the background are both in sleeveless tops with impressive racks.

Yikes.

So intimidated.

I promise you now you will never have to suffer the visual assault of my upper arms. Unless we go swimming. In which case you will witness so much flesh the arms will be the least of your worries.

That's JUST day one? How many days can you sustain such fun?

This looks like serious fun. Happy travels.

I thought that was Prada at first glance, too! I would have been jumping for the credit card and bought them before I bothered to take a second glance.
AMY said…
At first I read it Prada too. Must be the blond in me.
LBA said…
(quietly) - I read Prada too !

Dinner: OMG, yum !
