Monday Miscellany

I am still in the midst of updates on my website and hopefully it should be finished this week.  Finger’s crossed!

Today is my youngest son’s birthday.  We are going to spend the day doing some fun things and some not so fun.  While the day is party central for Wyatt, my daughter is having 4 teeth pulled in preparation for her second round of braces.  Oh Joy!

My birthday and my dad’s birthday are at the end of this week on the same day so it’s a week long celebration.  So….as my early birthday present, I’m going to post a picture that makes me happy just looking at it.  Hopefully, it does you too!  Happy Birthday to you too!  :)

Preppy Picnics

Excuse my randomness on this post….I love the thought of a picnic when the weather is gorgeous.  I thought I’d share a few things that caught my eye recently.

If I had a picnic table like this one, I’d eat outside every day!

And here is a roll of gingham cotton napkins to take along on a picnic.  I MUST have these.

I love the thought of baskets of fresh strawberries and blueberries sitting on my chic pink picnic table.   Shop Sweet Lulu has some of the cutest items!

I love this basket and I can see it filled to the brim with all of these goodies in this post.


I LOVE blackberry Clearly Canadian!  I used to drink this all the time in high school…this would definitely go on my picnic with me!

 

I love these little lunch boxes!  I found them on etsy but am not finding them anymore.  The shop name was ititems…maybe they’ll be back with some more….cute nonetheless.  I think that a sandwich in this box would definitely taste better!ititems on etsy

And anything would look delicious in these cute little cups!

These stripey little straws would look so cute sitting in my Clearly Canadian bottle!

These cups are so cute…and if I get tired of drinking out of my Clearly Canadian bottle, these cups would be perfect!

And this is where I want all my picnic stuff set up….including the cute pink picnic table!

The other thing is quality of life; if you have a place where you can go and have a picnic with your family, it doesn’t matter if it’s a recession or not, you can include that in your quality of life.

Trendy Tuesday – Polka Dots

Hello there! Happy Trendy Tuesday {night}.   Sorry I’m so late with this post.  I thought I had this post ready to go and when I got up this morning to post it, I did not.  This was the first chance I had to “get ‘er done”.

This week’s subject is polka dots.

The porch below is one of my favorites {as is nearly everything in Coastal Living….although this is one of my favorite-est!}

This bedroom is very light and airy {and the view out the window is fabulous!}

Ditto!

Any drink would be chic sipped through these polka dot straws!

Hey yo yo

And this little change purse is so cute!

And these dots are subtle but the pillow on the left is dotted.
