Did you ever find the cupcakes?
I cannot wait for you to entertain me with tales of Seattle this weekend!
Yay! I am especially excited for the food posts. ;)
did you know you bought your boots at the very first nordstrom EVER?
also, i find it funny that the day i took the underground tour (curious what you thought), we ate lunch at ivars after the tour, then went nordstrom, then the elliot bay book store (on our walk back from elliot bay my nordstrom bag busted out in the bottom (pouring rain on us too) and my philosophy face wash went rolling down the hill - it was hilarious in a had to be there kind of way) AND then we had dinner and LOTS AND LOTS of beer at pike brewing at the market.
we had very similar seattle days!
