What if Dad were to open the cupboard and find all of his favorite snacks with special labels? I am sure this would bring a smile to his face! Just another fun idea of how Maclaine and I can spoil daddy on father's day.

Opening day! You will be sure to find me here throughout the summer. So many yummy and unique things in my most favorite town. 

This little button is just three months old and she is already thinking about how to spoil her daddy on his first father's day. What do you think of these great cards from Smock? We love them! 

Perideau Designs, a Connecticut based design firm, creates fabulous personalized bags for party favors! It seems to be the birthday party season so why not make your child's party extra special and send his or her pals home with a memorable treat bag. Yum......

I recently stumbled upon "Outstanding in the Field" and I am in total awe of the moveable feast. What a fabulous idea! I wish the event in Wilton, CT later this month wasn't already sold out. Perhaps they are coming to a town near you?

I love these images from emersonmade. What a fun photo of the wedding party! Flowers, flowers and more flowers...! 

I cannot stop thinking about Jules Reid's fabulous line which was just shown at a trunk show in my hometown!  I must have one of these dresses for my next party! 

Happy Mother's Day Mom!! Tory Burch certainly has the right idea...an invitation to breakfast in bed. xxx

There are endless creative ideas for a "Save the Date". How about printing the details of your wedding on a deflated balloon? What fun!

Things that make me happy: a cozy all white room, the beaches of Harbour Island, puppy love, and, of course, dessert!

While my husband can't be bothered with the Oscar's....I adore every minute of them and it is the perfect night to have all of our friends over for a party! Bakeralla has a fabulous recipe for Oscar cookies and Twig and Thistle created a terrific Oscar ballot. Get ready to roll out the red carpet!

 

 

I love the idea of printing a menu card on a brown paper bag which can then serve as a gift bag for fresh peaches at the end of the evening! Burlap table cloths, fresh cut flowers, and mason jars help create a simple rustic feel. What a great idea for a picnic in the spring!
