My little birthday adventure

I know this is a little after the fact but I didn't have Internet for a while because we moved. Anyways my 18th birthday was a while ago and this was the first year that I didn't have some sort of birthday party, instead My mom sisters and I went to Fremont and Ballard.

Our first stop in Fremont was one of my favorite shops. Its the Deluxe Junk store and it has all this awesome stuff, some of it completely random but completely awesome at the same times. They had so many cool vintage cases when we went there this time.

Also in Fremont we went to one of my favorite vintage clothing stores, Private Screening, I think was the name of it, they have all this incredible vintage clothing, its one of those places that just kills me walking into without any money. Then we went to the vintage mall, where I bought this dress.

ok so the dress itself is pretty ugly but the fabric was irresistible (and I have now made a really cute bag out of it!)

Then we headed off to Ballard; we were so hungry that the first thing we did was go to my favorite burger place.

This place has seriously good burgers and an amazing french fry sauce!

usually when we are in Ballard we stop at Cupcake Royal for desert but this time we were just too full from lunch.
Then it was off to more shops. first we stopped in one of my mom's favorites.
Then one of mine. This little gift store has a little section in the back that is full of gnome and mushroom things, I go in there and never want to leave.

Then we hunted down a rescued furniture store that my mom really wanted to go to. When we got there a Bowie song was playing inside on the radio and so I felt pretty good being in a store named after one of my favorite Bowie songs while a Bowie song was playing.

We then went to Venue where as it turned out you get a free chocolate on your birthday so I got a Thai tea chocolate and bought two gnome postcards. The lady in the shop takes her gnome places and takes pictures of him and puts them on postcards, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Now I really want to do that with Rutherford.

Along with all the shop going we also bumped into the man who did my hair when I still lived in Minneapolis, which was really weird, he now owns a few salons and moved to Seattle. its funnie how thing like that happen.
Well all in all I think that I had a pretty god 18th Birthday even though I didn't end up having a big party.
