San Sebastian Burger Love

An amazing postcard find from San Sebastian, Spain - and so appropriate because everyday while we were there we ate runny egg hamburgers from this little restaurant in Parte Vieja (I can't remember the name), around the corner from our pensione. Literally - every day, for four days straight. So good, such a fun memory, I want to go back.

A few postcards from my trip to Paris.

lots of owls

Drew these little owls for place cards that my dad used for Thanksgiving dinner, which I unfortunately could not make it to this year because I was (fortunately) traveling.

The Paris Flea Market

One of my most favorite things I did during my recent trip to France was exploring the Paris Flea Market (Les Puces de Saint-Ouen Market). I had read about it on one of my favorite blogs and found directions here. We woke up early one Saturday morning and made our way here - the flea market is one of the biggest in the world, and you have to walk through tons of tents full of purses and jeans and shoes (mostly knock-offs) to get to the good stuff. The antique market portion was AHH-mazing, I wanted to bring everything home with me, but clearly couldn't fit most of these treasures in my suitcase so I had to settle for snapping photos of some of my favorites. However I did come home with a few old keys, a couple of old apartment address plates and a little brass owl - some of which became Christmas gifts. If you ever go to Paris and love flea markets, you HAVE to go here. I'm obsessed and already want to go back!
