So, the battery in my camera is dead. It's been on it's way to dead for awhile, and I seem to have lost the charger somewhere during the move. So I've been frantically taking a few precious snaps at a time while the dreaded "battery low" light flashes at me menacingly. I was surprised, and quite pleased, that we ended up getting a few pictures out of it this past weekend. We spent part of one of our days at the Minneapolis sculpture garden, which was maze-like and inspiring and beautiful.

I opted for major comfort this weekend, so my trusty flats and jersey skirt were in high demand. This skirt, which I've had for years and years, was originally given to me by my mom while I was in college, I think. I've worn the crap out of it, and haven't tired of it yet, though the jersey is starting to pill. I just love the asymmetrical hem and fabulous sash. It made me feel just fashionable enough for the other awesome event of the weekend (I told you I had rad news!):

Yep! While I was in the Twin Cities, I was lucky enough to snag some time with some of my favorite MN bloggers. La Historiadora de Moda, Kristin, Sal, Christine and I met up for lunch and some thrifting (don't worry, all I bought was books for Joe; the shopping ban is still very much alive!). I've met Sal once before, and it was wonderful to see her again and catch up, and LHdM, Kristin, and Christine have all been on my must-meet list for quite awhile. It's the bittersweet side of blogging, I guess. I got to meet and connect with these wonderful women who I really feel that I know, and who would be fabulous in-real-life friends, but we live so far apart! In any case, it was phenomenal to get to know them all a little bit better, to see them from all their angles (not just the ones they photograph!), and to hear their voices (that's always the craziest part about meeting someone, for me. I typically have an idea of how someone will sound, but since blogging kind of leaves the sense of sound out in the cold, it's hard to really tell)! Anyway, thanks, ladies, for meeting up with us while we were in town. We'll have to do it again soon...maybe in MN, could be Chicago, or perhaps partway...

Oh yeah, and Joe was there this weekend, too! He took all these pictures, and waited patiently in the thrift store for us to run through the aisles looking for gems (did you see the amazing dress that Sal snagged??!?). So thanks, Joe, for being you. You even get a picture in this post!

Squinty arm-shot. Happy Wednesday, everybody!
