This is a short fun post. Hope you are having a wonderful and enjoyable weekend. Ours is going well…..my son ended up not going to his tournament  which secretly was kind of amazing to me <\/strike>so it allowed me a little extra free downtime, always a huge treat! We enjoyed having friends over, a beautiful dinner out, a trip to a favorite garden center,  a visit to a local farmstand that just opened and today we are going to a few more garden centers and then a graduation party later in the day.<\/p>\n

 Since my poor camera (heavily abused) is now officially “in retirement”  I have to rely on my iphone. Just got the new iPhone 5 a few days ago and will concede that the camera is much better than the 4. I did not like the quality of the pictures from my old phone so this one is a step up. Anywho….as I love to take pictures of just about anything and can rival any Japanese tourist I took various pictures that kind of tell a story of my happenings in the last few days. Thought it would make a fun and “quickie” post (quick by my standards). Ready? Here we go…..<\/p>\n

A wonderful event at Safavieh…a table too pretty to not take a picture of, love the crudite “trunk”…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 My local farm stand finally opened….what a treat!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Fresh bread getting sliced up for crostinis I am making for appetizers……….<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
 Basil, parsley and fresh tomatoes….doesn’t get better!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Fresh strawberries..yum!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Baby carrots….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Cut up bellpepper in half to serve as “bowls” for my dip<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Add a little lighting for some ambiance…..<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Light the candles outside on the loggia……<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Loving my pillows!! A post on this to come in the next week or two…..<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Adding my finishing touches, love the look of baby carrots and a yummy healthy spinach dip made with Greek yogurt…..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Aren’t these glasses beautiful? Bought them at an antique shop in CT. a while back……<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I bought a large lot of them….it was like a crystal glass jackpot, love them! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And of course every get together in my home must include some kind of crostini (we were having friends over)….could easily make a meal of these plus they are so pretty!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 And I got the best fresh figs with the fresh strawberries…they were soooo good.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Bought five of these very large white “Annabelle”  hydrangea flower bushes….going to have them planted today<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Spent a little time by the pool……<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This was the original pool house which we have done nothing to other than clean it up, it still has a lot of charm but eventually hope to give it a “facelift”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This extra large lattice planter, (think playhouse size) over 4′ x 4′ x 4′ is getting planted on Sunday<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 So excited! These gardenia topiaries that were dying I was able to bring back to life and they just sprouted their very first blooms in months!! This was a thrill:)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 And hydrangeas are bloomimg in my yard, not to say this is my favorite color but they are pretty<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Visited a local nursery………..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 This darling scultpure is of a girl and boy swinging to be hung from a tree….so cute!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Aren’t these pretty? The beautiful flowers our friends brought us over when they came over last night<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Raised my window treatment in my bathroom to make it a little fuller and I like it!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Finally finished the floor of the small powder room off the library….now waiting for the wallpaper…..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This paper I have had in that little bathroom for nearly a year! I am finally taking the plunge…still love it as much as the day I found it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
  So that’s a wrap of my weekend as seen through my trusty iPhone. Today we have a graduation party and hoping it doesn’t rain! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful and relaxing weekend…hard to believe next week is July 4th! Summer is flying…….<\/div>\n
