happy wednesday

That is all :)

party friday

I've kind of (OK completely) forgone Whimsical Wednesdays because there were not really enough things to wish for.

However, every now and then I still stumble upon something fabulous/lavish/beautiful that causes me to dream that way again.

This table has me lusting. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and really makes me wish I could throw a party around it.

At my party, I'd serve these cupcakes, too. Wouldn't they look nice sitting atop the table?

No whims this Wednesday...

...Because I am completely and entirely consumed with moving to Atlanta tomorrow!

I'm so excited and have been running around like a mad woman preparing for the move.  I'll be back next week, blogging in full force from my brand new apartment!

Until then, happy weekend! See you in Atlanta!

whimsical wednesday {back to vacationland}

It's embarrassing to admit, but with all of the weddings I've had lately, I can hardly remember the last time I worked a full five day week (like I said, embarrassing).

Wednesdays have become Thursdays as far as I'm concerned, and with today actually feeling like the regular half way point, I'm relearning just how much of a hump it can be.

By no means can I claim that I'm in need of a vacation, but today, among the busyness, I'm dreaming of what I'd do if today were planning one...

Lately I've had my eye on the Thatch Caye Resort in Belize.  It looks absolutely gorgeous, and the private island is automobile free.  It looks like the perfect way to slow down and forget the chaos.

And in case relaxing on the beach isn't entertaining enough, the island offers snorkeling, diving, kayaking and fly-fishing (which my dad would be so proud if I tried).

Of course, after my recent time in vacationland, I'm beginning to realize there are so many places within America that I've yet to explore. And with flights to Belize upwards of $700, I'm thinking this trip may just be blog worthy for now...

Whimsical Wednesdays {so long summer}

I'd like to raise a glass to this 90 degree Wednesday afternoon.

If I were planning to throw a party, I'd honor the last drop of summer on this first day of autumn with one final fête.

I'd start by sending these popsicle invitations to my friends (all of you), inviting each of you to come over for a swim.

Poolside, we'd sip on cucumber and lime spritzers...

And eat sweet summery blueberry pie.

After dessert, we'd soak up every drop of sunlight as we sit on the screened in porch, with the ceiling fans on high.

And once the sun goes down, we'll catch fireflies.
