One of the stores we visited was the The Red Balloon Bookshop, which is a wonderful children's book store. We were both sad to learn we had just missed author Kate DiCamillo; however, we both purchased signed copies of her book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
We also visited several antique stores. At one of them I found this wonderful silver ring box with a crown on it. I love crowns. Maybe it's because of all the historical fiction I read.
At Patina I found the cutest owl magnets! And a very sweet cherry wallet.
I was also able to squeeze in a little bead shopping! We went to The Bead Monkey, which is a really nice bead shop in St. Paul. I bought two lampwork beads made by Spotted Moon Designs.
On my last night there we ate at Corner Table. It was so good. I highly recommend it if you are ever in Minneapolis. Other great places we ate were Maverick's, Muffuletta, and Cupcake. We also drank a whole lot of iced tea from Dunn Bros.I have a few more things to show you in my next post.

Sounds like a fabulous trip - those are great goodies you brought back!
What great finds! I love that ring box! All of your goodies are so cute. I see you've used some of my favorite paper in the background! I have a booklet of it and I'm having a hard time cutting it up LOL
Yes, I only use that paper for photos! Sometimes I see N. eyeing it for one of his art projects and I have to hide it away in one of the upper cabinets!
Those magnets are fab!
