It started Thursday with a trip to Plucky Maidens @ Edgefiled with friends, so much good stuff.Right off the bat. I spot a huge 24 inch Globe, it was metal on a very sturdy stainless steel stand and spun both vertically and horizontally, I was smitten but was cautious with the 78$ price tag, no discount...hmmm I decided to wait, if it was still there later I would get it, well it was gone. The gal selling said a guy snapped it up and mentioned they were rare had seen one priced much higher elsewhere.....
So much too see , and with full hands, I didn't get good shots of my shopping partners.
On to the next morning
We headed to Seattle for a 48 hour shopping and eating trip, and since Anthony Bourdain said Salumi is a place to eat before you die we didn't argue. There is always a long line and with very limited hours & closed on the weekend, it was our 1st stop . We were not disappointed...
Love the address & the mix of wood brick and metal.
For dinner, we were progressive and dined at The Palace and Dahlia's, with a night cap at the Hotel Monaco where we stayed. All was good, but I agree with anyone whose has had them, the hot sugar donuts with vanilla marscapone and apricot dipping sauce are a highlight....
On to pike place for breakfast, this mosaic mural caught my eye......
But I just hope this guy is not shaking the baby, or possibly the baby smells? and their in a hurry. Funny and odd, right up my alley
Nicole got the required flower bouquet, so many to choose from
This bee on the sunflower assured us of freshness
worthy of mention a slice of geoduck with melon from Dahlia
Back to Pike place, we again waited in a line, this time for the famous perogies, ours was stuffed with potato, mushroom and onion. we tried some cheeses at Beechers and had a hot donut, then to full to eat, had to pass on a recommended pastry place....next time. Decided we were to tired to find Tilth for a late brunch instead went back to shopping
Day two: Ballard was our favorite area, having hit up Freemont and downtown the day before.
So much goodness, this little guy caught my eye
Spotted on the streets, a "City Witch" herbal ailments, it's good to know
Always captivated by the decor, Pink ceilings and paper pompoms
This store really captivated me "Curtis Steiner" antiques , but so much more, everything displayed so well, jewelry over vintage book pages, with a few fossils and coral mixed in.
Just a few modern pieces in the mix
A taxidermy owl watches over the proceedings, of old Milagros, select furniture & Santos
And then in the window, a special GLOBE, only $1200. identical to the one I had seen Thursday for $78 ( cue the tears), Alas the one that got away!!
In time for a early Sunday ride with friends, to Detroit lake, the hottest day of the year.

And could not find the elusive Walrus and Carpenter restaurant, we'll find you next time, the Garmin be dammed. Got home late Sat
