It All Ended This Weekend

"It" being the Harry Potter films, don't worry blog friends! I still have a ring on my finger. ;)
Did you see Harry Potter 7.2/DH 2? Wasn't it satisfying and captivating? Way back when I was in high school, I still remember being at my friend's house and seeing the first book on his kitchen table. I had never heard of it and casually read the back cover, probably before doing something very high school, like speeding through the hills in my hatchback while eating gummy bears. Who knew that more than a decade later, I would be at the movie theater playing cards on a nasty a*% theater floor (not much else to do while waiting for a movie) for this very book? 

Anyway, we had a great time! I did my best to look Harry Potter-esque and painted a deathly hallows symbol on a white tee. I had that cardigan (hard to see, there's a little lion coat of arms on it) in my wardrobe from a J. Crew sale, and the scarf is leftover from my days in Bay Area weather.  

In other weekend news, I bought some pretty yellow tulips which brightened up my apartment.

And, I got a surprise in the mail from our wonderful wedding photographer, Jessamyn Harris. As a gift for our one year anniversary, she had our wedding portrait turned into an encaustic painting made by Wax and Pixels. It's mounted on a piece of sustainable wood. I've already hung it in a special place and think it's quite lovely.

Back to work . . . last week I had a nightmare about work on Sunday night, so let's hope I have sweet dreams of macarons and cupcakes. Like this one I ate.

Hope everyone had a fab weekend and that you had sweet dreams last night!
