elizabeth haley: Boca Mocha + Harry Potter

Sunday, July 17, 2011

A few days ago, Blake and I tried a new coffee shop in downtown Springfield (as if it needed another one...). It's called Boca Mocha, and it took the place of my favorite coffee shop, Rendezvous. Walking in, I was so excited to see all the changes the new owners had made - the atmosphere was completely different and it's all so bright and airy! I absolutely can't wait for Colby to come back so he and I can go together. Rendezvous was our favorite to go to, so maybe this can be our new favorite!

I'm a coffee girl, but I got a peach smoothie (I'm on a smoothie kick lately, I got one today too!). It was so. yum.

I definitely wanted to go back today for my smoothie fix, but they're not open on Sundays. Sad face. Maybe next time!

Blake and I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last night.... and again this afternoon. We loved it! Blake is a huge Harry Potter fan, so obviously he loved it a bit more than I did, but I still enjoyed it. I've never read the books, but I've seen all of the movies. Earlier this year, I started reading the first book, but never finished. Maybe I'll start it again this week? Have any of you seen it yet??

p.s. I made this wreath for mine and Anna's home! What do you think? I'm pretty much in love with it.

I heart Springfield. We went there for vacation last year to thrift and go see Elsie...got to have coffee with her at a coffee shop downtown. I can't remember the name, but it was so yummy. :) This one you found looks really cute! Your wreath is adorable.

You SO have to read the books! I promise you, they are life changing. If you are having a hard time reading the first 2 books because of how "young" they are... I think you could get away with watching the first two movies and then reading the 3rd book on. The movies change too much from the books beginning on the 3rd movie, so read the 3rd book for sure, but like I said, you should be able to watch the first two, then read. :) If that helps. Anyway, I will have to visit this coffee shop, it looks so lovely.

That wreath is absolutely adorable!

I've never seen or read any of the Harry Potters. =[ I can't handle being SO out of the loop, so I'm going to buy the first book and read it soon!

It looks so different, I'm nervous! I miss Rendezvous so much...we'll see how I like this place. We will go upon my return to Missouri.
