A Yummy Cider and a Cute Dog

Last night I had my first Starbucks caramel apple spice of the season and it was yummy!

Mr. Riley wanted one too...

Over the Weekend, Briefly

On Friday my best friend Jennifer and I went to the Indie Emporium here in Tulsa. We were in the first 50 guests so we received a free tote bag with goodies! We of course had to try a cupcake from Alter Egos and left with some great products. 

I met Erin from Sunshine and Carousels and purchased one of her hair clips and a headband. The fabric and photo frame came from Shekota.

Then on Saturday, my little sister spent the night with us so we decided to go to The Corn Maize since we had never been before. I must say we were a little disappointed because the corn was mostly dead and laying on the ground and what was left was barely taller than me. Oh well, it was still fun to take pictures and be silly.
