today we had such a fun day with Holly & Delilah. we went to Aunt Martha's Pancake House (see my insane whipped cream hot chocolate... OMG) and had the yummiest brunch. we visited Funtiques with Rachel too. after that i went with Holly to get her Red Velvet tattoo! rachel and i already have 'red velvet' tattoos and i was SO glad that holly wanted to get one too. I love her concept...
It's a lilac ball of yarn with a crochet hook and a banner that says 'Red Velvet'. so cute!
after the tattoos we spent the evening chatting it up with Emma, Rachel & Courtney at the shop and eating the best thai food you can get in the midwest! :) i love planning laid back days when friends come to town. so nice to catch up and relax together. XO, elsie

love, polly
have a wonderful labor day, elsie!

I love her new tattoo! I really have been pondering some sewing esque tattoos lately :) I gotta have at least one that is my favorite thing to do.
Love and Turtledoves,

oh i love holly tattoo's it's amazing, does Emma have a red velvet tattoo?
That chocolate looks so taste!
It's so great that you took some time to relax and spent with friends, i know that you must have lots and lots of work with the new store opening, (i know for frequent moves from one house to another) is like you found and found more stuff and will never end!

I really don't like pancakes, but those ones look really good! Her tattoo is adorable! I love the one of the girl on her arm too.
