We had some friends stay with us this week and played tourist around Dallas.
Our first stop was the new George W. Bush Library and Museum.
My favorite part was the exact replica of the Oval Office.
I'm obsessed with natural history museums.
The gem and mineral hall was by far my favorite exhibit. We all know I love a good geode.
Explored the neighborhood and had dinner and drinks at The Libertine.
Tobias being adorable... as usual. He has a rough life.
My goodies from The Good Home Company arrived. They all smell seriously delicious.
My favorites so far are the laundry fragrance (just washed my sheets and my entire room smells heavenly!) and the scented clothespins. I put a few in our drawers and it smells so fresh every time we open them. Thanks again, Good Home Company! The plans for our laundry room makeover are on their way and I'll be sharing them soon!

I had originally planned to share a yummy recipe with you today, but our computer with Photoshop is on the fritz, and I have to wait until it gets fixed later this week so I can edit the photos. Until then, here are a few instas from this weekend!
I made a little cotton ball banner to celebrate our two year (cotton) anniversary.
 Received some lovely flowers from my man, plus he sewed me (yes, hand sewed) an adorable calendar in our wedding colors with our wedding date to look like our save the dates. I'm also getting curtains which will finally finish our decor!
I can never get enough of this sweet face.
 I took a trip to HomeGoods and scored the BEST geode bookends. I walked away without this guy, but am going back for him this week. He's cute and creepy at the same time and I think I need him.
 I'm dying over these agate wind chimes. Really, anything agate/geode is my jam.
I normally despise any art you find at mass retailers, but I think this one might be pretty in our bedroom.
 We were offered a free brewery tour and tasting from Deep Ellum Brewery, and duh, we totally took it!
 We discovered a wonderfully cute tex-mex spot in our neighborhood. They lined the patio with patron bottles filled with twinkle lights. Nothing is better than a margarita under twinkle lights. Nothing.
Our art for above the sofa has arrived. I need to raise it a little, but I'm in love!
How was your weekend?

If you follow me on instagram (@stacyandcharlie) you've probably noticed a lot of road trip photos... sorry :) We went to Austin for a few days to see one of our favorite bands, Mumford and Sons, and decided to make a mini-vacay out of it. Here are some of the highlights!
 Toby's first road trip. So excited!
 At the hotel they gave Toby a little treat bag, bandanna, and a toy. It was so cute!
 We stopped by West, TX on our way down to pick up some of their famous kolaches.
 We also drove by where the fertilizer plant exploded earlier this year. My heart is hurting for these people. There are still rows and rows of houses that look just like this one. Because it was not a natural disaster they are not receiving FEMA assistance to help them rebuild. If you're interested in donating, this is the official agency endorsed by West where 100% of your donation will go to the relief efforts.
I think our favorite thing about this trip was getting to take Tobias with us at every meal. So many pet-friendly restaurants in Austin!
This concert didn't come close to their Red Rocks concert we attended last year, but we had amazing seats and it was still pretty darn good.
 We had to stop at the popular "I love you so much" wall, and had lunch here before we left.
These beautiful sunflower fields were all along the highway on our drive back. The colors were so amazing we stopped for a quick photo.
