This past weekend I got the chance to hang out with my pal, Dave. Dave is my partner and we have been married for 8 years. Recently, I have been so busy with my little one going to preschool and Chakra P. bizz that Dave and I have not spent much time together at all. I realized that we needed to make an effort to just chill out because - from what I can remember - we are the best at that!
On Saturday, we decided to grab some coffee downtown and take a stroll on 4th Ave. I have not been out of my studio for so long and discovered that there were some fantastic places that I have not yet discovered!
With iced coffees in hand, Dave and I walked to the most incredible little used book shop called The Book Stop. This place was a dream and has actually "served readers since 1967!" We opened the door and were greeted with the lovely smell of old books. We gazed on the concrete flooring , comfortable decor, and amazing lighting. I found three Early American Design books! Two on wood carving and one on candle holders. I was completely in love. We strolled around 4th a bit more and ended up catching an afternoon film. I was in love with the day and just had to share!

It sounds like the perfect day. I'm so glad you were able to take time out for yourself and your honey.
The bookstore looks to me like a dream come true...

I love the Book Stop -- used to go there a lot when I was in college. I'm so glad to hear they are still in business!
What a lovely day...and thank you for sharing! My guy and I really need to do the same!
we drove down 4th just a few days ago and saw that little bookshop. My bookish hubby really wants to check it out. We'll have to go.
That's my idea of a good day, too! I need to make some time to do exactly what you have done- just chill with my husband and best friend.
Thanks for the inspiration lady chakra :)
On the (rare) occasions my husband and I have "dates" we nearly always end up at a bookstore. :)
Thanks everyone :) Yeah, it seems that Dave and I always end up at a bookstore too. They are just so comfy :)
