Birthday Bear


Hello All! What a whirlwind these past 2 weeks have been...plus, throw my birthday into the mix and wowza... Im exhausted!

My b-day was awesome. Present's in bed, cake with good friends... I was sung "Happy Birthday" 3 different times throughout the day. amazing.

I wanted to share this one gift idea that I thought was so creative. An instagram post birthday card! I received one from 2 different people.
HOW CUTE is that?! It was so fun to look back at pics from over that past year.
It really made me realize what a year I have had and what exciting things are coming up!
A lot of my success and fun has been brought by you, my blogggity-blog readers. So thanks for that and CHEERS to another wonderful year!
XO

Laura Bear likes Andersonville







This past weekend we ventured over to Andersonville. I have awesome antiquing luck there and found 
my lovely dining room table at Brownstone Antiques.

I really like all of the quant shops and the laid back vibe that the neighborhood exudes. 
There are a lot of amazing antique shops, thrift stores and cute pubs. 

It was a bit windy and cool this past Sunday so we popped into Hopleaf for a warm up. He had Dragons Milk 
while I stuck to my coffee (Irished up ;) ). 

If you can ever make it to Chicago, be sure to check out Martha's article about
 Andersonville...she sums up a lot of the goodies. But also be sure to check out The Brown Elephant. 
It is inside an old theater! 

Hope you are having a cozy start to your fall! xo
