K.C.

Last weekend we embarked on a family weekend trip to Kansas City. It's a great mid-size city with quite a bit going on (see Whoop Dee Doo article below, as one example). We went shopping, ate some good food, and saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (well worth it). We also visited a small town called Weston and ate at their diner and looked at some antiques.

This first photo was taken in the section of town called the Crossroads Arts District. One of the stores we stopped at was Peggy Noland Kansas City. She designs some cool, kind of out there stuff that has been worn by the likes of Tilly and the Wall members and Lovefoxxx from C.S.S. (those awesome one-piece spandex suits that she often wears). Note: she is the faraway person in the photo below. The store is tiny, as in the size of a closet, and the walls and ceiling were covered in fluffy, white cotton. It felt like you were in a tiny cloud.



This next photo is from Hammerpress, a letterpress and design studio. They had a bunch of awesome stuff in there - concert posters, stationery, art books and art prints - and you could see the big letterpress equipment in the back area they make the stuff.



And here's the sibling set in the small town of Weston, in front of some historic building and historic bell, no doubt.
