that house tour we mentioned? it wasn't the deluge of people we were warned might come, but we still had about 600+ guests do a walk through of our old store. people were generally nice and had tons of questions about our reno. we like to think that the old store stuck out among all the turn-of-the-century rowhouses and victorian mansions.
we love house guests and this week, we got to see both family and friends. it was a real treat to spend time together and show everyone our new city. from the botanical garden, to laumeier sculpture park, to the city museum, we covered some ground.
the house show was super fun. forty concert goers lined up outside our doors at 7:30 sharp to fill all of dabney's chairs and listen to the beautiful sounds of anders parker and will johnson. those guys turned out to be soooo nice. w.j. turns out to be from my hometown and was making my head spin with names i hadn't heard in decades. dabney and i enjoyed their company so much that we've extended an open invitation for a home-cooked meal whenever a tour brings them through town. we hope that will be soon.
finally, fifty of my sister and bro-in-law's friends joined us chez superette to herald the upcoming arrival of our niece (due in june). dabney baked (magnolia bakery-inspired) cupcakes, while i made deviled eggs to add to the plethora of goodies that my sister's best girlfriends provided.
