raffa + chloe // black eye cap hill

Coffee shop hangs are our jam. I love coffee. Raffa loves coffee (no joke, but he doesn't get to drink it, obviously). But, we just love hanging out at coffee shops too. Sometimes we bring books to read, sometimes we bring some small toys, sometimes we watch them roast coffee, and sometimes we bring a little craft. Last week, we met Rachel of Green Chair Stories at Black Eye Cap Hill, a gorgous art-deco inspired coffee shop in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of downtown Denver. It isn't one of our usual spots (Port Side in RiNo and Corvus on South Broadway hold those honors), but the gorgeous decor and ridic food menu are always a treat for mixing it up.

On this day, I brought some beads for Raffa and I to work with to make a necklace. We had already a fun morning at the zoo/circus that was the Denver Flea (winter market - SO ridiculously crowded), so we were ready to snuggle up and have a little snack and some quiet time.

Raffa strung up his beads one after the other, ending up with equal number of small beads on either side of the big/main butterfly bead - what a crazy coincidence.

I wish I could take Rachel along with us at least once a month because these photos make my heart ache over how much I adore them (and even more that sweet guy in them!). Such a treasured capsule of a slice of our life right now.

I am wearing: Madewell Stitchmix Pullover Sweater (on sale!), JBrand Carolina Super High Rise jeans in Scout, Vince Blair Slip On Sneakers

Raffa is wearing: Lennon and Wolfe Henley (out of stock everywhere - annoying), Zara Skinny Trousers in Bottle Green, Vans Checkerboard Slip On, Patagonia Down Sweater Hoodie
