AUGUST without shopping

August was both a fun and BUSY month! I finished another round of classes in grad school, took advantage of the patio lifestyle around Columbus, and went on a vacation to Portland, OR.  Autumn is by far my favorite time of year, but there is always a little part of me that feels sad when summer ends.  Here is what I did in August that did NOT include shopping: 

walked around the fabulous Short North 

baked mini peach pies {recipe here}

picked up some local goods at a farmer's market at the North Market

attended a fabulous engagement party hosted by great friends

went olive oil/balsamic vinegar tasting at Benessere Oils and Vinegars in Portland {rings: Ippolita & Robindira Unsworth; nail polish: Essie's "Turquoise & Caicos"}

Hope you're having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
