Seriously. Is it Friday again? Sometimes the summer weeks just zip by too fast! This weekend we’re off to the Chesapeake Bay area for the wedding of one of my lifelong friends. We’re stopping over in Old Town Alexandria tonight simply because I love it there and want my husband to get a little taste …
A few weeks ago I skipped off to Southern California to spend some time with my west coast BFF, Erika. I spent a wonderful week with Erika’s incredible family, finding a bit of time for relaxation and a lot of meeting of fabulous new friends. I thought I’d share a few snippets from my SoCal …
I am in full-on summer vacation mode over here this week. All I want to do is laze by the water, read a good book, take impromptu road trips and spend my evenings by a bonfire. I am loving this beach bonfire spread from What Katie Ate today. It’s the perfect inspiration for a quiet …
A few weeks ago on facebook I asked readers to chime in with requests for color palette ideas and this is the second palette inspired by that chat. (The first one was all about coral and gray.) For those of you looking for vibrant, saturated hues of red, pink and orange, this palette is for …
If I were the swooning type (and let me assure you, I am not) I would definitely be swooning over today’s real wedding feature. What I can tell you is that I think I may have cried the first time I saw photos from Whitney and AK’s wedding, captured by the amazing Emilie Inc. Whitney …
Now that summer is in full swing, I’m all about easy entertaining and lazy afternoons. Small bites, pitchers of cocktails mixed in advance, homemade lemonade and sun tea set out to steep while you’re doing more important things like reading a book or going for a swim. These pretty little tea sandwiches and minted rosewater …
Hey there and happy morning, friends! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Chelsea here from Lovely Indeed, and today I’ve got a DIY for you that I can almost guarantee you can put together for a couple of bucks, if not absolutely for free. (My favorite!) We’re making prize ribbons – and who …
July 4th weekend is always one of my favorite times of year. Somehow it just seems more carefree than any other holiday. There are long summer days of frolicking about and evenings filled with s’mores and fireworks. What’s not to love? Before I run off to the lake for the weekend, here’s a final dose …
The sweet Andrea of Strawberry Chic (who shared the awesome DIY pencil holder with us not too long ago) recently planned the loveliest party for her little sister and her friends. A cake decorating party! Each guest got her own mini cake on a pretty little platter and Andrea taught them all a few basic …
I’ve mentioned a few times over the past few weeks that I have a lot of new projects in the works these days. One of those was the new site design which debuted this week, of course, but another includes finishing up my home studio. I moved on from my day job about a month …
With July 4th just around the corner I wanted to play with the idea of a summery color palette with an Americana feel that wasn’t necessarily traditional red, white and blue. I love how calming and breezy this color combination ends up feeling, like a good old fashioned weekend at the beach. In fact, it …
Hi all! It’s Jenny from Hank + Hunt with pretty little printables for the Fourth. I love the Fourth of July – friends, family and fireworks! What are you doing this long weekend? I’m sure it involves some sort of fun get together, I know our weekend sure does. I wanted something simple and versatile …
