Friendship in Raleigh

When we decided to move back to North Carolina we knew that a big part of our lives would be filled by family and friends. I am just not sure how much we realized what a great blessing it would feel like. Being able to drive 20 miles to see my best friends little girl or spend a weekend with dear friends or even get together with new friends. There is really something to be said for living where your heart is.

This past weekend was no exception to our new life. We spent an awesome weekend in Raleigh. Neither my husband or I have spent much time there but we really loved the NC capital. We had some of the best tour guides (thank you Dodson's and Kapplers!). 

One of my favorite finds there was the work of Holly Aiken. She makes some pretty rad bags. The prices are a bit steep but the work is solid and the material is "undestructale". Some of my favorites: 

 

 The other fun thing we did was head to the Raleigh Flea Market. I found some amazing things and I will share those with you in the future!
