a happy saturday

Its Friiiiiiiiday! Are you as excited as I am? I have the day off of work so really Thursday was kind of my Friday this week but whose counting. 

1► Okay, so this wasn't exactly this week but last week. I went with my mom to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). It was pretty amazing. I've never been before. This is a picture of a stained glass piece from the museum. I'm a huge Frank Lloyd Wright fan. They had some amazing pieces from the Frank Lloyd Wright collection in the gift shop but I couldn't justify spending $40 on a picture frame. 

2► I found the cutest book ever in Chapters this week when I was looking around. First I looked at it as a joke because its a HUGE coffee table book but I actually fell in love with it. I would have bought it but couldn't justify the $57 price. It had some pretty cool/artistic pictures of cats...I may be a crazy cat lady.

3► I got some new glasses this week! I love them so far. I've been looking for a couple months for a pair that I've like and finally settled on a pair. I love the design on the arms and the front of them is actually a deep blue colour.  

4► Did I mention that the DIA was having a big van Gogh exhibit?  They wouldnt allow any photos of the paintings in the main exhibit room (I tried to be sneaky and take a photo but my mom is the worst wing person ever to go to a museum with and likes to rat me out to the museum staff). Anyway, the painting they have on display is of his bedroom and is on loan from a museum in Amsterdam. I thought it was a great opportunity to see it!

5►Another pretty awesome exhibit from the DIA was these suits of armor.  There was an entire hallway full of them!

6► No...those aren't meatballs. That is my attempt at making "glazed donut" muffins. They turned out pretty well. Although, they do look a lot like meatballs if you do ask me. The recipe is on my Pinterest "Just Desserts" board if you'd like to try it out.
