This past Saturday, while I was back in my hometown, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Katherine of Of Corgis and Cocktails.   After numerous blog posts where Katherine and I literally took pictures at the same locations within days possibly even hours apart, I knew we just had to meet up at some point.   As all meet-ups go, Katherine was just as sweet and funny as I had thought she would be and conversation was never short as this Cincinnati girl had me laughing with her geek-tastic ways (she even showed me a thing or two about my dslr camera) and adorable stories about her dear pups .  

 Anyhow, it was quite a lovely evening filled with a trip to The Atomic Warehouse, a huge vintage store full of a quite impressive selection of vintage furniture, housewares, clothing, accessories, you name it and surprise surprise - we ran into another blogger there, Hope of Pink Champagne, who's boyfriend owns this midcentury heaven.  She was as sweet and as helpful as can be and the store was nothing but pure awesomeness so I highly recommend swinging by if you are in the Harrisburg area.   Better yet, I ended up walking away with a delightful toadstool printed dress and retro floral swimsuit.

So after that little stop we moseyed around the capitol building to grab a few photos and be watched by some passersby - always a treat, right?  The evening concluded with dinner at a local piano bar with fried caprese salad and all and of course I think it's safe to say we left there feeling quite satisfied.  I never gave much thought to Harrisburg growing up - it's quite a small city, especially for a state capital, but nonetheless, if you look hard enough you can find it's charm and have a great time exploring this little place...especially with a cool gal like Katherine :)  If you haven't become acquainted with Katherine's blog yet - you totally should, between her whimsical style, darling pups, and yummy recipes, it's utterly adorable!  You can check out her post on our day here.

Happy Tuesday darlings!  This week is going to be stuffed to capacity getting ready for my sister's bridal shower on Saturday.  My life will be nothing but cupcaking and craft making these next few days.  Wish me luck!  Talk soon!

Love Bunches,
