{Love fig trees!!}
Last week we got to stop over to see our friend Debra Phillips at Scentimental Gardens in Geneva, IL and I was in Heaven!! {Debra also recently opened up another store on Grand Ave in Chicago and writes the blog 5th & State. } Debra & Sarah (below) greeted us at the shop and they are so warm & sweet. Debra's amazing with kids & even gave Christian an adorable little concrete turtle he promptly named "Sammy."

I was totally in love with this room and wanted pretty much everything in it. The slate tile floors were hidden underneath blah carpeting when Debra first moved in.
How adorable are the chalkboard signs/ labels? (below) What a cute way to label a drink.
Check out the industrial tabe below (mm mm!) and lately I've also been been loving silhouettes.
And here's one last photo at Scentimental Gardens of us all before a yummy lunch:

While we were in Geneva, we also stopped at the butterfly house at Peck Farm. Christian's been very into butterflies lately (there's a Little Einstein movie about them) and loved it:
I thought this one, called a "Julia," was awesome:
If you can get to Geneva, it's so worth it!! ... Lots of great shops & an adorable town and of course you have to stop in and see Debra!! (And the butterflies if you're into that) One of the things I love most about blogging is making & meeting new friends. It's so much fun to be with other design junkies & to feel like you already know someone before you've even met them.
