Hope everyone had a LOVELY 3-day weekend!  Mine sure was great.  Sometimes all it takes is an extra day to recharge your batteries.  Don’t you agree?  Here are a few snapshots from my weekend:

[perused through the new Madewell catalogue!]

[ate lots of food, including tots, at First Friday in Venice on Abbot Kinney]

[also walked through a few galleries at First Friday]

[lunched at GTA on Saturday…my favorite!!]

[went back-to-school shopping…PS, is it ok to back-to-school shop if you aren’t a student?]

[attended my friend’s BEAUTIFUL wedding at the bel air bay club on Sunday]

[we had lots o’ fun at the wedding!]

[on Monday, we took the meaning of “labor day” very literally and did not labor at all…ate lots of pancakes instead]
