happy memorial day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and celebrated Memorial Day with family and friends!  I had a lovely time visiting my dear friend in California for her birthday.  We ate, shopped, laughed and had a wonderful time!  What did you do with your weekend?

A delicious restaurant we discovered in Venice.

My newest find from the flea market!

Shots from the fun and charming farmer's market in Santa Monica.

Here's to a great weekend!  

And may God Bless all our troops past and present!

let the summer begin!

Looking out at the pool and the back patio, I am ready for summer to begin!

Bring over the grandkids and let's get swimming!

weekend silver

I made these "silverware" holders for a girlfriend of mine as a little gift.  I like to call them "weekend silver" (like my old favorite plastic cups "weekend waterford"), as they are the perfect little addition to a picnic or meal at the beach.  I sewed them up, added a little vintage fabric scrap and numbered them, then filled them up with napkins and silver plasticware.  And, done.  A perfect little summertime gift!

I also made a quick, easy paper version with wooden flatware for a luncheon or picnic...

What do you think?

oh, what to wear?

To that graduation party...

To that end of the school year event...

On that dream vacation...

To the grocery store...

Come on in and see the fabulous new apparel items we are getting in every single day!
