Round Up: Monday

image

Mom, the perfect hostess. What an amazing memory that I stumbled upon today while looking for a chicken recipe.

Do you fell the age you are or do you feel like your inside age is much older or younger than you really are? I am still thinking on this one.

I started reading this book last night because of the above story. I have said it once before and I will say it forever more, Rebecca Woolf really knows how to write.

This color palette has inspired me to finally get the guest room put together. I adore these curtains but need to find them. DIY maybe but I would rather not.

Sally! You are all over the web! I love IT! We met at our mutual friends wedding and bonded over our "King" names. She is the sweetest and a southern belle to the T!

I love this floor plan china.

Just a couple of things...

The Glitter Guide Love

A story about a big squirrel and a baby squirrel. Awwww!

My co-worker thinks I nuts that I keep on wanting to put pimento cheese sandwiches into our Southern Style food stations but really this seems perfect to me. My grandmother made them the best.

My love for NOLA never stops growing, get your King Cake before its too late.

I use Party Rental Ltd. all the time and LOVE them but wouldn't mind planning a party with YEAH! rentals.

A classic, now celebrated in wine.

Love stickers, I stuck these everywhere last year.

I am super into backyard weddings. This pale pink one is really winning me over.

On my wish list.

Have a great Monday. Hugs.

Green...round up!

My sister spent Saturday with me and we had the best time. She lives in DC and we don't get to see each other very often. We had breakfast together at the Koffee Korner, went to Terrain with Alex for lunch, did a little shopping, watched a movie, had an excellent dinner made by Alex and ending the day with some yummy chocolate.

Here are some things I am enjoying right now

My friend is going to paint a long wall her in apartment pink and hang all her pictures on it like a gallery. I thought it might be cool to do it like this cookie.

I just bought this bracelet!

All about this, Team Nap.

I believe a "Thank You" goes farther than most people think.

My first Polyvore outfit...Can't wait to use this more.

I think I might be ready to go back to this hair cut.

Have a great week!

My friend Crystal passed along the link to the website Cater and Cook Event Company  and I have been swooning ever since. Everything is so pretty and perfect. This photo above is from a Brunch Wedding Reception which I think is amazing and I want to plan an event just like. I am so in love with the  Kimono Style robe above that I ordered one the other day. What great bridesmaids gift!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. My parents came up for the weekend and we had so much fun. I wish they lived closer.

We had 18 people over for lunch yesterday and it was great. The kitchen is done, all of the walls have been repainted and the wall covering was hung on Friday! One day I will post some pictures...I have to get Katie to take them first!!!!

Some cool things I found out and about on the web...

I am at a loss for our guest rom, I want it to look like a hotel room. I DO love this duvet.

Monday funday...

I am so in love with this dress. Every part of it is beautiful to me. Did everyone have a nice weekend? I managed a most beautiful wedding on Friday that was filled with white and pink peonies. They were just so beautiful. I got to take some of the flowers home with me and have really enjoyed having them around the house. It makes me want to have flowers around more.

Saturday, was a beautiful day for  a wedding, except for the fact that the world was supposed to end. I am not going to lie I kept on thinking about it. My reception was going beautifully and at 6pm exactly the skies did open up and pour for about 30mins.  No end of the world as we know it...but just a little rain.

Here are some of my favorite posts I have seen out and about.

Have a nice Monday.

Friendship bracelets...don't you want them all.

A beautiful Miami Bride

Clever use of binder clips

What it would be like having a tiger as a pet...

Did you have a rock collection as a kid...I did and for the record, those rock tumblers don't work!

I love this Kate Spade inspired party.

I am a little obsessed with mini donuts these days. I want to try to make them one day.

Hello Monday

Hi

HI, I hope everyone had nice weekend and Monday. I was lucky enough to have two meetings outside today and for like the first time in 6 months I was warm. The older I get the colder I always am. Here are a couple of my favorite posts that I have found out and about on the web.

The other day I picked up this lip gloss and am now in L O V E  with my new apricot tinted lips.

I want to throw an adult cereal party! Give me Lucky Charms!

Do you suffer from this? I don't but know people who do and will now cut them a little slack.

I just discovered that this butter dish has free shipping...ok I think I need this. I really do.

Rachel's cooking videos make me happy and are so inspiring. I wish I liked cooking more.

Alena from Oh It's Just Perfect tagged me for "the sweetest blogger award"...coming soon 7 facts about me! Thanks Alena
