I had a very relaxing weekend. I hope you did too.
On Saturday, I went to Old Town Orange (a cute little nostalgic downtown area in Orange County) and had a lovely lunch outside at a Cuban restaurant, then walked around to antique stores. My tastes have gradually shifted in the past year from antique, shabby chic looking decor to a more modern take, but these stores made me want to go back to my old ways and incorporate antiques and vintage items more. There is just something so charming about having something made in the 1800's in your house!
Here are some pictures from day:

Hi Jules!
DeleteI got them from the Assistance League right in the traffic circle. So many good finds there, if you look.
You should definitely go to Felix again. Still good as ever!
