Emily's Girls

I'm obsessed with this print to say the very least!
I love printings like this and what is even better about this one is it is inspired by one of my favorite authors, Emily Giffin!

Inslee Haynes is a super talented artist who makes gorgeous stationary, invitations, prints and calendars out of her beautiful drawings.  

Take a look at one of my other favorites!
I think that could be me sitting there with my Emily Giffin books on the beach!
I really think I must find a place for these prints in my house, what do you think?

Go visit her website to check out her beautiful work yourself!

Elegant Summer

Have you heard of The Elegant Setting?!
I'm in LOVE!  Just look at some of the fun summer items…

What Marylander wouldn't love these?!

Perfect beach towel

How about some fun linen napkins for summer dining?

In my opinion, you can never have enough hand towels for the powder room

This would be perfect to put all your belongings in for a trip to the lake…
oh how I want a trip to Maine in the summer!

These would be perfect for a beach house!

And you know, I can never have too much stationary!

Check out all the other fun gifts at The Elegant Setting, not just for summer, but for all year round!
Too many perfect hostess gifts to count!

Oh La La!

So, a little recap of our Bachelorette Weekend for my little sissy!

Drinks on rooftop of Boathouse before dinner

Of course we had to enjoy a cocktail for happy hour at a beach bar

The Bride got us the cutest little gifts...

Getting ready for her Lingerie Shower…Pat is going to be one lucky little guy!


  
I found this cute little lingerie bag and had it designed with her soon to be name filled with some pretty bridal goodies!  



Here is a close up.  In case you wanted to know, you can find these at Personalization Mall for your little bride-to-be's!

Now, if only, I could feel like I was 21 again!  
Cheers to our Bride!

Mi Casa is Su Casa


Come on in! 
As I promised many of you, here are some pictures of my home.
Still much to do, as I plan on sharing more pictures with you once Daph starts Home Tour Tuesdays again and I have some more accomplished in here.
However, I think I've done pretty good with just being in this house for 8 months and basically starting from scratch (minus a bed and dresser!).  

Sittin area off of kitchen


Dining room…impatiently awaiting a sideboard!

Totally forgot to take pictures of the office.  
Don't worry…I'm sure Daph will have a post on that!
As you can see, lots more to do, but so far I love my house and LOVE decorating it! 
Stop on by, I love company anytime!
