CHARMED

IMG_6709A few weeks ago, I was visiting my in-laws in the Twin Cities, which included an always fun eating and shopping excursion to Minneapolis with the ultimate tour guide, my sister-in-law, Sue. We ate, we shopped, we ate some more. Two of the highlights were lunch at World Street Kitchen —which is a must MUST stop if you’re in town for rice bowls of the most powerfully tasty and addictive concoctions like Korean BBQ short-ribs, marinated crispy tofu, and caramelized lamb belly (followed up my a mango soft-serve ice cream topped with puffed rice)–and then a stroll to a charming boutique called Proper and Prim. The shop is run by two sisters (there’s also a second location in Fargo, ND) who have created a perfectly edited collection of things that are just a little whimsical but still very wearable. I immediately honed in on this charm necklace with a hefty little fortune cookie on a chain. It opens! So you can write your own fortune to put inside. I haven’t yet thought of something to put in—THIS one made me laugh out loud because it’s so true—but when I do wear it, people can’t help but reach over and want to open it…such is the power of the cookie.

I you want to find your own fortune necklace, I recommend you try ETSY. I founds some similar ones HERE. And please send me some fortune ideas!
