DIY - Mini Memory Game.

I used to love playing Memory as a kid. So naturally, I am totally smitten with this

miniature memory game that you can make yourself brought to you by the fabulous Dandee!

Isn't it just precious?!

Utensil Lariat.

Considering I really like to eat, perhaps this fork & spoon lariat necklace is perfect for me...

It would certainly strike up some conversation at a dinner party or Sunday brunch, no?

Vintage Photographs.

Are these not the cutest vintage beach photographs?! 

Oh my, I just love them!

This past weekend we went to a 60 year wedding anniversary party for The Mother-in-Laws, Aunt & Uncle. 

In fact the photographs are of the couple when they were newly weds enjoying the beach... circa 60 years ago!

Ready for the best part? She made her bikini! Yup, that is right,  it is completely handmade!

She told me the story of how she crocheted the whole thing, tested it out in the shower at home

 but still managed to have the top pop off when a big wave came up & splashed her...

 Oops! 

I just love family photographs & stories, don't you?

Happy Weekend.

Happy weekend lovebugs!

What fabulous things do you have planned?

As for us, we'll be attending a family reunion/wedding anniversary party of sorts for 

The Husband's side of the family.  I am kinda excited to meet some extended 

family members from my mother-in-law's side that even my father-in-law never has! 

We are also hoping to find out some really happy news from our close friends... 
(fingers crossed & lots of prayers!)

Whatever you do this weekend, I hope you enjoy it!

Ha ha!

Wallpaper.

Is this some fabulous wallpaper or what?

So fun & different, not to mention interesting. 

I did a total double take when I saw it because I thought 

someone actually had the patience to hang all those plates on a wall!

If you are so inclined you can purchase it here, via the shop le souk.

Oh & the shop also stocks some pretty sweet birdhouse wallpaper too!

 I love that you can see how the parent's features ended up in their children. 

So cool!

Bungalow Love.

Wow-wee! I don't know what I like better...

This kids room with the super sweet & cute tree with birdhouses adorning the walls?

Or this rocking studio that features everything an artist could ever want or need!?

Both are pretty darn splendid in my book. 

Oh & did I mention they are both part of a 700 square foot house?!

 Yep. Darn-tootin. To check out the rest of this bungalow belonging to Emily Henson 

head on over here to Design*Sponge where I originally spotted it & just knew I had to share!

Awesome, no?!

Lavender Lemonade.

Doesn't this Lavender Lemonade just look oh-so refreshing!?

I'll have a whole pitcher to myself please...

Head on over to Sunday Suppers for the recipe card & enjoy!

Homemade Caramel Corn.

When I spotted this homemade caramel corn post over on

Emily's blog, Cupcakes & Cashmere, I nearly died... 

What a simple yet super fun idea! Why have I not made it myself too?!

Seriously, you can bet I am adding this to my "to do" list for entertaining 

or maybe just watching movies with The Husband as a special treat. 

Head on over here for the full post & to check out 

the original recipe which Emily modified go here.
