Morning. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had one child away for a couple of days so it’s nice to have everyone under one roof again. The weather is glorious and I’m excited to be needing a blanket each morning on the porch.
END OF SUMMER PARTY
Recently a couple of friends hosted an end of summer party. It was so beautiful. The table was a mix of items she had all around the house (such a love of color). I thought the multiple tablecloths on the table was a great idea. I also love the fresh oranges down the table.
The charcuterie spread was next level. I am taking notes! And the watermelon pizza was new to me. So yummy. There are lots of different recipes out there so I’ll be making one soon.
It was really nice to spend time with girlfriends. Sometimes life gets in the way and we forget to take time out to just laugh, enjoy and be together. It also inspired me to start hosting more again.
*Thank you Pamelyn and Ashley for hosting.
DATE NIGHT | NASHVILLE
If you are ever visiting Nashville, we love Adele’s. Fantastic food and just a great spot.
And they always have a couple of amazing mocktails on the menu. This one was a mix of pineapple, ginger and jalepeno. Delicious. The menu is always changing and a reservation is always a good idea.
SPECIAL OCCASION
Special event coming up? I thought this dress was so pretty. And it’s on sale for $52.
MAKING PICKLES
This weekend my husband took it upon himself to make pickles. I don’t now anything about this process but it sure was fun to watch. He used his grandfather’s handwritten recipe which made it really special. I’ll let you know how they turn out.

Wow that spread looked fantastic at the party! Gorgeous.
I was wondering if you have any ideas for a table lamp at a reasonable price point. I am on the hunt for one for our living room, as my husband finds our West Elm overarching linen shade floor lamp too “asian” in style (whatever that means – ha!).
