Seattle is without a doubt one of my favorite cities to visit! It is a trip made sweeter by the fact that I have family there who always have an open door, empty beds and a list of new spots for us to hit! Our favorite new spot? Meander’s kitchen in West Seattle, a little hole in the wall dinner that is run by owner/chef, Miranda… “I cook because I like it and If my cooking makes you happy, then I’m happy.” Unique breakfast’s are her specialty (delicious) and a conversation for each customer… you can’t help but leave this quaint little spot with a smile on your face! We were also lucky enough to hit the last weekend of the tulip festival before the inevitable be-heading! Haha. The 8 days away were just what I needed… time with my husband (he found the most amazing Bed & Breakfast on Whidbey Island for a night) time with my brother and his family, some treasure hunting! Fantastic food, drift wood gathering along Alki beach, but most of all it was a time to re-charge my battery… owning your own business is exciting and exhausting at the same time. I returned with a bag full of brooches and new found inspiration ready to get back to the joy of designing Brooch Bouquets and making brides smile!
