I wrote this title yesterday morning as I had intended to post sooner. Sitting here this evening it takes on a whole new meaning… More on that in a little bit.
My day was pretty bland until…
I met up with a CL seller to purchase this lamp! An Ikea Kulla lamp!
Normally this lamp retails for $69.99 and I totally scored it for $30.00!!! In CL heaven!!
Then…I picked my sis up from work and we went to the Doug Fir Lounge for dinner and drinks!
We shared a 3-course dinner…
Spinach and artichoke dip * Butternut squash Ravioli * Bread Pudding (my all-time favorite dessert in the world!)
Swanky establishment…
At the end of dinner we drove a few blocks to Boothster who was hosting this year’s Junk to Funk Trashion Gallery Showcase!
The Mission of Junk to Funk is to…
inspire individuals towards responsible consumerism, creative re-use and conscientious disposal by providing unique fashion based entertainment and educational programs.
Junk to Funk inspires us to do things a little differently . . .
Imagine a world in which there was no such thing as trash; that everything that we “threw away” was perceived as a valuable resource, used to create something new or as a nutrient for the earth.
What if needs ruled over wants, purchases were mindful, and we valued doing stuff instead of buying stuff?
Consider the reality that low-impact doesn’t mean sacrifice, but a more satisfying life.
What if the ultimate measure of coolness was how little you bought and how much you creatively reused?
Here’s the *magic* of Junk to Funk! (hold your cursor over the pic to see if I remembered what materials were used…)
My darling Jo joined us at the show! Soo much fun! After standing around for a while we decided to head out and find a place to relax and vist…
Yup, we ended up at a Tiki bar!!! Thatch Tiki Bar to be exact!! That drink is the “Volcano bowl” and is pretty nutz.
I was the driver and have been fighting a cold so I didn’t get the full experience of the Volcano bowl… From what I saw of those who had the volcano bowl (several tables) , it’s a pretty gnarly kick in the pants!! Some people (not I) may have walked out pretty trashed… 
I hope you all had an equally awesome Saturday!!
I’m in complete denial that tomorrow is Monday….

Sounds like a fab day!
Since my week starts on Tuesdays, I try to do something fun and newish, (whenever possible), on Mondays. This week I went for a bike ride and had a tea date with a friend. Perhaps NEXT Monday I can meet YOU for lunch downtown?

It was so fun to hang with you and Mon! You really had a full day too!
