Adventures in St. Elmo!

-

 Months ago we drove through St. Elmo on the way to a photo shoot and we decided right then and there to add it to the list of future adventures! I love a good brick building with some history and this place has all of that! You can read all about of St. Elmo right here. 

Today was the perfect day because the local plant store The Secret Garden was having an outdoor vendor market! Look at how cute this place is! Heaven on earth really for a plant lover like me. 






We met so many great people and bought some really cute things which I will post pictures of in a jiffy. Let's talk coffee and food first! What good is a Saturday Adventure without a good cup of coffee am I right! We stopped at Goodman Coffee Roasters  where Elizabeth and I got our usual orders. I messaged Mr. T's Pizza and Ice cream  in advance to verify that they indeed had gluten free pizza which they did!  This made it was an easy decision where we were going to have lunch. You guys not only was the pizza yummy, but we both got mini pizzas and each got a drink for under $20! I can see why it is a town favorite! 






As promised here are some pictures of what we purchased today with a link to each person's Instagram page. 

We got these berry bowls from Sprouting Seeds by Tori  The yellow one will be used a pot for a plant and the other for berries. 




    
 Since I get an iced coffee each time we knew we had to have this shirt from Wander and Bloom                                                                               




The Better Bakery had all gluten free items! We tried the coffee cake which was delicious, but they had several more options to chose from. 



Of course we had to get the puppies some treats which they loved! Groot's Goodies are made with all easy to read ingredients which makes my heart happy! 



Then I found another gluten free option and this also had the easy to pronounce/read ingredients listed as well! I love seeing what I am actually getting! Hippie Crunch has samples for you to try which was great! 


I got this super cute hand painted watercolor bookmark from Pastiche Collective 


Here is a picture The Secret Garden shared with a list of all the vendors who were there and a few more shots from today. There were also so many places we didn't get to check out like The Naughty Cat Cafe where all their cats are up for adoption! You can grab ice cream at Clumpies and ride the Incline Railway while in town as well. Other cute restaurants like 1885 which had a great outdoor eating area and the Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe.  Also be sure to check my instagram at Saturday Adventures in the 423 and watch  all the videos and photos from today saved to the highlights. 
St. Elmo you were delightful and we totally enjoyed our day!

Saturday Adventures Birthday style!

  Today our Saturday Adventures were all about my daughter's 17th birthday party! As most of you know we love to visit coffee shops so we came up with a coffee date birthday party idea! We remembered  Ocoee Coffee Co. rents out spaces so we decided contact them! You guys they have the best prices I have ever seen! I will chat more about that in a bit, but let's first talk about all the fun things we did! Here are a few pictures from inside the room.  We rented out the Boathouse which can hold 20-25 people, but we had a total of 12  which felt perfect! Jenga and Uno were in the room so we played those while the girls arrived. The quoted rental price included a  $50 minimum to go towards purchase drinks or food and you pay for any amount over that. While we ordered and waited for our drinks the girls did a selfie scavenger hunt! Elizabeth and I had coffee there the week before to scope out ideas for this game! Here is the list we came up with feel free to screen ...

Adventures in Cleveland again!

We have explored so many cute places in Cleveland, yet somehow we still have more on our list! Our first stop was   Misfit Tacos off Stuart Road. We have heard about it, but had not visited until today. We will for sure be going back! For starters the tacos were wonderful! The customer service was superb and the place was so cute! Added bonus the prices were fantastic! We got the combo which comes with two tacos and  a side so we both chose queso and chips.  Next time we will share a queso and chips though because it was a big side and we couldn't finish it all. We shed a few tears as we threw our wasted leftovers away. Trust me when I tell you we thought of every scenario that would keep it good in our car while we were out and about so that we didn't waste in I mean it! Go grab you some tacos today and let me know which is your favorite!  After lunch we went to Brik Brak's which is hidden gem! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE! How I have never been here is beyon...

 Good day and how are you!? Grab a cup of coffee and let's go and visit some of the first places we visited back in Sept. 2021! I would like to start out with a honorable mention of a place called The Tinker Fairies' Cottage in Ooltewah.  We went there on our second adventure, but only took a selfie. I have some videos saved to highlights on Instagram though. It is this adorable little house turned gift shop and I love it so much!  This place is right behind  Get Wired Coffee  , right up the road from the Ooltewah Whistlestop and down the road from The Shop on Main .  Hop on over to Ooltewah on Main street and plan your next Saturday Adventure with these 4 places! You will not regret it!  Now on to the Adventure at hand! My friend Jodi mentioned this place and it sounded like something right up our alley! She was spot on when she said we would love it! It is Vinterest Antiques in Hixson! I love love love old warehouses turned antique/vendor type pl...
