We love to eat outside.
I wish I could have you all over for dinner. That would be so cool.
There would be great food, tons more then what you see below…lolol
good laughter and fun! A BIG party to celebrate inspiration!
I made a simple dressing and tossed it over mixed greens.
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
I use Dijon in most of my salad dressings. I love it!!
Olive Oil (Wisk in desired amount)
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Bon Appétit
Ahhh Peonies…
Enjoying the early evening’s with my family.
I love to cook for my husband, he loves it. I do believe in the old saying,
“The way to a mans heart is through his stomach”. So true.
It makes him feel cared for.
I have a dozen of these chippy white old lanterns. I love them.
Sand and candles!! I want to go to the beach.
I wanted to share a great vendor I use, and a beautiful blog.
Bid Daddy Antiques is an amazing store, just check out there site.
Secret Garden Cottage Blog, Jo is just the sweetest.
I will be featuring great vendors and inspiring blogs you want to know, often.
Have a beautiful day friends!
Always,

These pictures are so amazing! I found your blog through Humble Pie's and love it. Seriously, these pictures look like they are straight out of a magazine.
ReplyDeleteI love sitting outside to eat, partly because our summer's are so short, mostly because eating outside just makes you feel so relaxed.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life! :)
