My day started slowly - got up around 8:00 and had breakfast in our PJs. I love PJ mornings!!
We got cleaned up and dressed, and headed out for our favorite Italian market, over in St. Petersburg - Mazzaro's. We actually did a little Christmas shopping there, and Joe got some of his favorite sweets.
Then, we decided to have lunch at a place my blogging friend, Lisa Prause, told us about... Luke's Coney Island Hotdogs. We had brats with spicy mustard, and brown cows!! Haven't had a brown cow for years and years... who knows what a brown cow is?
After lunch, we drove into Tampa, to the Hyde Park Art Center for their arts & crafts show. Our friends, Becky and Matt Larson, had their Airstream Boxfotos Studio there. They were surprised to see us and gave us a tour of their studio on wheels. Matt is a photographer and Becky uses pinhole cameras and mixed media for her art. Lots of fun seeing them there.
We left Tampa, heading for Lakeland, and decided to stop in Plant City, at a store called Southern Hospitality. They have furniture, baskets, silk flowers, pottery, a framing studio, arts and crafts supplies....a bunch of everything. We hadn't been there for a year or so. It was fun walking through. I bought some ribbon, to make bows for the wreaths I put together a few weekends ago.
Stopped at Publix for some groceries before coming home to crash! LOL - a busy but fun Saturday!
Luke's Coney Island Hotdogs, was full of Michigan sports memorabilia.
A brown cow is a root beer float, with vanilla ice cream - yummy!

All the tents at the arts & crafts fair. Lots of interesting stuff,
but nothing that we needed to buy.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI love brown cows! Would you believe we still have a root beer stand in town, complete with car hops, that still serves the coney dogs and brown cows. Of course they're only open during the summer but we always look forward to that opening day.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great Saturday.
OKAY as now I am enlightened, but for me a brown cow is coffee liquer with cream over ice....very fattening....sigh
ReplyDeleteI just love days like you had here! Shopping, be outside, having lunch out, meeting up with old friends..such a great time you had! The photos are great too. I am going to go check out your friend's website now:-)
