the new digs

this will be our apartment once we can move in, hopefully they'll fill the available storefronts with fun adorable little shops.


i had time to walk around there yesterday, lots of indian restaurants, a couple of sushi places, a grocery store two blocks away, a trader joes in the works and a thrift store full of buttons and fabrics! a girl could certainly get used to this.


a little tea/coffee shop with the best chocolate cupcakes ever.


and a cool little lamp shop. i'm not about to shell out 200 dollars for one, but i am inspired to try and make my own version...
