A love letter to the Bishop Arts District

In a span of 1 week we celebrate my birthday, our wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday. It's a fantastic week full of friends, goodies and special treats. Today we joined some of our nearest and dearest friends for a late morning jaunt over to the Bishop Arts District.

First Stop: Smoke. Everyone, even this little vegetarian, left stuffed and happy happy happy. Smoke is one of our favorite brunching spots and it was really fun to introduce so many of our friends to their new favorite brunching spot!

Next Stop: Emporium Pies.

Oh good heaven. Their apple pie, called the Lord of the Pies, is out of this world. Definitely a treat to share oooorrr to covet for left overs. Run there. 

Third Stop: retail therapy!

First we hit up We Are 1976 to check out their incredible workshop schedule. I'm really hoping to take one of their classes soon. 

Next we visited Pebble + Pine for some new American made shirts for the Mr. Pebble + Pine focuses on only American made products with a dapper sensibility. The owner was helpful, nice and has an Australian accent to boot. Jason came home with an awesome Mizzen + Main shirt that I'm sure will get a review soon. 

Finally, a trip to the Bishop Arts wouldn't be the same without Society. The Jackson Vaughn run company stocks all manner of lovely candles that add warmth to the home. If you're looking for the perfect reasonably priced, sustainable and unique gift stop here. 

Many thanks to our friends for sharing our birthday with us!
