Two treasures in Milwaukee

Last Saturday was the first anniversary of my dear sweet mothers passing.

Realizing I might be needing a little cheering up, my "fun fairy" friend Karen took me to a couple of really fun shops in Milwaukee!

Our first stop is every chocolate lovers dream! "ENCHANTE'" "enchanting little things" at 10883 SE Main Street Milwaukee Oregon

Everything was pink, red and glitter, sparkling and ready for Valentine's Day! It is the ultimate candy store and more!

Three doors down is her sisters shop "K marie" an incredible paper store full of inspiration, glitter, gifts, glam and pure fun! They even teach classes in their back room! Check out her blog at kmarielovesglitter.blogspot.com

As we left the shop, my head was swimming with ideas, excited to sign up for a class, something that hasn't happened since my mother passed away.

I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes " a friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"
