Bead&Button Show Day Three...

I started the day with a brisk walk to the Stone Creek Coffee a few blocks away from the convention center.  I discovered it the day I got to Milwaukee.  (This year I took a train and the coffee shop was located conveniently in between the train station and the convention center.)  The industrial chic space had high ceilings, big tables, and a delectable selection of pastries and coffee offerings.  The line to get into Starbucks snaked out the door and the thought of standing there B.C. (Before Coffee) broke my brain a little.  Instead I opted for a much more leisurely start to the day with an iced coffee and a cheese danish.

After the show, we went to dinner at the Thai restaurant and then went to the Safe House for drinks and dancing.  The Safe House is a spy-themed restaurant/nightclub and there were several bachelor and bachelorette parties going on.  Even though we were pretty tired from working and all the festivities, we had an awesome time!
