A Life in Celebration

What a fantastic four days I had in Denver with my blogging friends. I learned SO much and accomplished so much! My brain is on overload with everything I learned! The most exciting thing coming out of this gathering is that I am working on my very first Ebook! I will be sharing more about the book as it is gets closer!

Do you know when you want to make or style something and have a vision in your mind for it and then it just doesn’t come together? Or, how about when it does come together? That is pure joy, isn’t it? This is how I felt about two table I styled this past week. I had this vision for a green and white alfresco table and it came together just as I had envisioned! Then there was this one I did with pretty new red plates and nothing about it looked good! I am going to work on the red one and when I share it, I will share the “not good” one, too! But…today I am sharing the winning one! This is the very first of my alphabet series!!

“A” Is For Alfresco!

Head on over and check out the alfresco table that I think turned out beautifully!

Do your summer plans include a trip to the beach? Check out these adorable bookends I made with a little bit of sand and some shells I picked up at the beach!

There is no time better than summer for a fun themed table or a whole big party! Even if you don’t have a swimming pool, you can set a beach ball themed table just to celebrate the fact that it is the summertime!!

My favorite things this week!

This is a pricey gift, but if you know someone who is an author or librarian, this is such a PERFECT gift for them! Wouldn’t you just want to watch the clock non-stop so you could see what books each of the times come from?

The summer humidity is upon us and these bags are perfect for hanging in your closets to keep things dry and fresh!

My husband and I REALLY needed new pillows! Our pillows were getting so flat! So, I discovered these wonderful goose down and feather luxury pillows! If you want to sleep better, you need to get a couple of these!!

I think this is just the cutest little gift you could give your children or grandchildren this summer. The best part is, it is something you could end up doing together. You get the memories and the precious little boat!

Are you travelling this summer? This little set of makeup bags will keep you oranized!

Did you catch the pretty wisteria display I added to the entrance to my dining room for my Bridgerton tablescape? You can create one just as beautiful with these faux wisteria vines! I only used a small portion of them here! They are available in three different colors!

Check out this beautiful little cabinet! I bet you have someplace to tuck this in your house to add a pop of color and style!

These beautiful Vivien Floral Pillows really caught my eye! I don’t think the aqua will work in my home, but the pattern is so beautiful and delicate, I wanted to share these with you in case they are just the thing to add a little bit of color to your home!

Stanley cups have been dominating the scene for a while now, and accessories for these popular cups are hotter than ever. We’ve all seen the silicone boots that protect the base of the cup. Here is a full coverage silicone sleeve that provides protection for the whole cup, with a pop of color from the handle and logo.
