summer brunch

This week's topic at Tine Wiggen's Studio Friday:

Summer Brunch!

Since I enjoy regular peeking there... I thought I would join in! I'm a newbie!

A Triscuit. . . a Triscuit . . . how I love golden Triscuits! The "fire roasted tomato" & "roasted garlic" are my favorites! I'm kind of crazy over them! With some sharp cheddar cheese and fresh fruit . . . it will have your taste buds dancing! A tasty. . . terrific. . . trio!

LOTTA JANSDOTTER SOFT TOYS

Are these not the cutest... most special things!
I just love them! Simple & hip!

Would make such a great baby gift! And at the incredible price of $16. . . yes. . . really! I came across them at greener grass designs. Very neat shop with lots of great finds!!! Just thought I'd share. . . they are too fun!

Nooma ... Rain

okay... techi... I am not! Can not figure out how to get this WITH the youtube clip below.

ANY WHO

I had a need to see this again today... to remind me that God is there... no matter what... to hold me... protect me... and get me through the storm no matter what!

Maybe you could use a reminder too!

Please watch if you have not yet seen "Rain" by Nooma & Rob Bell. Really great!

summer

Rain... rain go away... come again some other day... we're about to float away!
We are having such a rainy go of it! Last week... rain! Looks like more rain this week! What!!!
Maybe if we talk about the things of summer we can bring on some sunshine!


What we love about summer. . .

• watermelon
• popsicles
• friends with pools
• running in the sprinkler
• sleeping in
• fresh, fabulous fruits & veggies
• the smell of fresh cut grass

The not-so-great things of summer. . .

• mosquitoes... those dad gum... good for really nothing things

What do you love about summer? Do share! It's fun!!!

my Orla Kiely bag

How I love this bag!

It is truly fun to carry! LOVE that it can be wiped clean... the exterior is a laminated cotton. The inside has just the right size and number of pockets to hold all those "must get to quickly" items!

Since I have received a ton of compliments on it... I thought I'd share where I got it.
It's an Orla Kiely... I am crazy nuts over her textile designs... simple with just the right amount of pop! I ordered the bag from Ped shoes! I highly recommend them! Receiving a package from them is special... they give great attention to every detail! They have a great selection, they're located in the U.S. and they offer free shipping! A must check out!

hole in one!

My mom hit a hole in one yesterday!
Way to go mama! How fun!!!

Campbell just picked these pretty flowers for me! She is always so thoughtful about bringing me fresh picked flowers! Even if it's from the neighbors garden... just kidding!

Aren't they sweet? I just love fresh picked flowers... it makes a perfect gift from the heart!

home sweet home

What a GREAT time we had... the beaches of South Walton are just awesome!

Good food, good friends, good laughs and tons of relaxing fun! The kids had a ball too! The last day we were there the water was the best... really clear... you could see your feet! Beautiful!

Here are a few pics of the kids. Little loves! I'll be uploading more soon... this is just a sneak peak!

Destin here we come!

The "brown eyed fox" is taking a well needed... long awaited vacation! Yes!

I will have lots of fun photos to share when I return... what fun!

Once I return I will get going on some of those special requests I have been getting! Thanks soooo much for all your kind words about the shop... you make me dizzy with happiness!
