Annapolis!

This weekend I went to Annapolis for a day of shopping and exploring. Unfortunately I left my camera behind so I could only take photos with my phone. Annapolis was a charming city and I loved seeing all the navy guys (uniforms with multiple anchors).


Anchor door knocker


Sailboat doorbell

Some of the stores I went to:
The Pink Crab where I got these Lilly sandals for more than half off!


Sitting Pretty
Diva
The Black Dog where I got my mom a pink baseball cap for her birthday
Annapolis Ice Cream Company
Chesapeake Trading Company where I got this picture frame:


And US navy anchor magnet:


I really wanted to go to Star Monograms but it was closed :( I am still looking for somewhere I can get two of my totes monogrammed (maybe Alexandria?)

Hopefully you all had a great holiday weekend!

    I love Annapolis. I actually almost went to the Naval Academy. Last minute decision not to go.

    As for the monogramming, have you checked your college bookstore? Our school did it at a discount. They sent the stuff out every Monday and it came back the following week. It was fairly cheap, and they did a great job!

    Miss Kate, the Princess is simply staggered at the number of things you find with anchors on them. It is amazing!

    We are in love with the picture frame *and* the Lilly sandals, to mention only a few items.

    You are such a star, you can give us lessons on how your antennae find all the treasures!!
