get outside...

 

Oh my!  This is exactly what I need- iron doors, linen slipcovers and all of that great texture.

Entertaining..

 

Entertaining outside is my favorite with candle light and lighting in the trees.  It is such a fun simple way to extend your home with a long banquet style table and a graphic runner.  

Do you entertain outside?  I would love to hear your secrets to keeping it special and intimate.

Living outside..

I am sure we are all waiting with baited breath for those long summer days in the warm air where we can just sit around and take it all in.  Things are no different here, we are getting mentally prepared for the slow down of summer.  This looks like the perfect place to take it easy and spend long evenings with family and friends.

a little time outside..

 

I hope you have been enjoying the holidays and a little time to relax after everything!  We are having the most beautiful weather here so I have been trying to spend time outside in the sunshine doing a little reading and relaxing.  

I guess I need to stop all of that and get back to work... 

but for now it is books and plans for the new year!

I hope you are having an amazing Sunday!  It is finally cooling off here again and it might start feeling like fall soon!  This looks like the perfect way to spend a Sunday with nature and beautiful food!

Late summer picnic

 

So we made it to the picnic last weekend.  It was beautiful out in the field, a little prickly when you were sitting down but still beautiful.  I always want to do things like this but never manage to get out there so it was really fun.  We had home made quiche, fruit, bread and cheese.  

I fell in love with the wild flowers, the bushes were taller than me, which I thought was super cool.  

I also want to give a big shout out to Andrea at The French Basketeer to say THANK YOU for the lovely bag!  It held our picnic blankets, our quiche and other goodies perfectly.  (I also used it at the store before we left to buy all of the goodies).
