In the Blink of an Eye

Do you ever feel that way about your weekends? Blink, they are gone! I think everyone feels that way. Fortunately, this past weekend was full of blissful blinks that my eyes will always remember.

Blink #2- Celebrating 30yrs of MEL!!!!

We had the LUXURY of celebrating with Mel at the very VINTAGE St. Cecilia in Austin. This place was amazing and very vintage retro. The theme was Cocktails and Cupcakes. Now that’s my kind of party!

And like that, the weekend was over. Time for a new week. The last week of October. Time to stock up on the last bit of Candy Corn!

Now I must go shut these eyes, they are worn out! :)

Cheers,

p.s.- There might have been some celebrity citing at the party as well. A name that starts with M and ends in Mccaughney. Hehe! :)
