Happy 6th Anniversary to us!

Gary and I had a great time on Saturday celebrating our 6th Anniversary...on our actual anniversary date. Very nice! We unintentionally had a "Greek Themed" evening while we casually enjoyed strolling around the Gallery Hop down in the Short North. We picked the "Happy Greek" restaurant, and then ended the evening with an extravagant bakalava sundae dessert at the little Greek emporium.
(And Gary really surprised me at with a special "iron" gift which is the traditional gift to give on the 6th Anniversary. Loved the special lantern from him!)
Dinner at Happy Greek. We were happy and hungry!


The coolest piece of art we saw that evening was this one. Can you see the image of a little girl looking back at you? Looks almost like a sepia photograph.
You'll never believe that this entire piece of art was made from crayola crayon tips. Mostly shades of gray with some colored crayon speckled in. (see photo below for close up)

Yes, this is a close up of the above piece of art. REALLY stunning!

The firemen were enjoying people watching that evening too. There's always lots of interesting spectals to see down here especially on Gallery Hop nites.

The shops in the Short North were most certainly "hopping" on this Gallery Hop evening. This place had a full-on band, and a bar...and it was just a little denim shop. Highly entertaining
Can't you tell??? =)
This is the little Emporium where we casually entered. Just looked like a little wine and cheese shop. And then we saw someone checking out with the best looking dessert...

So we just had to try it for ourselves. We'll definitely be back here for some more of this amazing bakalava sundae sometime soon.

We ended the evening with gift-giving. Gary and I usually like to surprise one another with interesting or creative or funny gifts that utilize the "traditional anniversary" gifts. This year was iron and candy. So, I found him an "iron" for his golf set. And a new iron to use...because he the resident "ironer" in this household!

He surprised me with the awesome rod-iron old-fashioned looking lantern (see top) from Restoration Hardware to use on the porch or patio of our new home. I love it!

I love you Gary Scott.
Can't wait for the next 6 years and beyond!!!

First of all, I love that crayon artist... I remember seeing another one of his pieces years ago at a gallery hop. I really looks like it was a hoppin hop!

And happy ironing Gary!

It was so fun to "hop" at the Gallery Hop for the first time in several years. Seemed to both of us like the whole Short North area has gotten a nice face lift. It was definitely the place to be! And then we found that Bakalava Sundae.....we'll have to take you there!
