Hello kids-
How was your weekend? So many fun events coming up with summer right around the corner! One of my favorite two part warm weather activity is something I would like to call Doses and Mimosas.
1. Doses: Dose Market – Did any of you happen attend yesterday? Unfortunately I was unable to make it, but wanted to share a few pictures from last year. If you haven’t stopped by this market before, I highly suggest checking out the next one on May 12th, 2013. Not sure what this is? Well wait no longer my friend…

2. Mimosas – AKA brunch at Quay – after you work up an appetite from browsing all the fun and quirky vendors, highly recommend walking around the corner for some awesome brunch or lunch at Quay. This place is huge, so MAKE SURE you make your way back to the atrium; bright, sunny and best view of the river.

A lot of boaters actually stop here in the summer for cocktails and lunch and more cocktails. Did you make it to the Dose Market yesterday? If so, find any amazing treasures? Share the deets please. And if all goes as plans, I hope to see you next month! |

I have not heard of Doses Market, but it looks like something that will be right up my alley! I’m going to be out of town for the May event, but I’m I’ll get to go to June. Thanks for the reco!
Rachel, yes you should definitely check it out! If you need any other recs during your visit, let me know 🙂
I love this! I want to go next time I’m in town. You’re wedding looks like it should be in a magazine. You are absolutely beautiful and that picture of you and your mom is adorable. Congrats!
Awww you are too sweet Lauren! Thank you 🙂
That market looks amazing. If only I lived in Chicago…
Love your blog!
