1. ORCHID LOVE. One of my favorite flowers which I have come to conclude? are not expensive but in fact economical:) Mostly because of how long they last with proper care and when you divide their costs into how long they last…we are talking mere cents per day. I have both the faux from my online shop in my house as well as many real (some given when my mother in law passed away) and what can I say….they just make me happy:)<\/p>\n
Yep this is the first snippet of my beautiful chinoiserie paper you are getting to see:)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. SNAPSHOTS FROM THE HAMPTONS. A few pictures taken with my trusty little iPhone from being out and about in the Hamptons. There is never a lack of beauty and inspiration to be inspired by out there……its a “feel good” kind of a place \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n 3. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST I must say the instagrams I am sharing this week are truly exceptional…so much to love!!! I think you might agree, it was hard to reign in? my favorites but I did and here they are…..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. A FABULOUS NEW LINE. Discovered this line, Self Portrait<\/em><\/a>? while looking for a dress to wear to a party, and think it is FABULOUS. I was also really surprised at the prices, as these pretty frocks look so much more expensive than they are…..really gorgeous and very special pieces! You can view the entire line over at Netaporter by clicking here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. THE CUTEST SUMMER TOTES. When I first laid eyes on these bags, it was love at first sight. Spotted it on someone in a restaurant and had to stop to ask her where she got it. They are from Rae Feather bags (UK based) and soooo chic, love the extra little touch of the monogram. What do you think? Click here to check them out….<\/em><\/p>\n ? <\/p>\n 6. COOKIES THAT MAKE ME SMILE. Another find from good ol Instagram, how adorable are these cookies are by Color Me Cookie!! Makes me want to plan a party just so I can order some as favors:) They ship so if you have an occasion coming up that warrants an amazing custom affordable cookie order, I highly suggest you contact Color me cookie by clicking here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. OUR YARD AND POOL. I must say about this time of year,? our yard really comes into bloom and looks its very best. One area of our home that we did not do any improvements on when we moved here almost four years ago (has it really been that long) was the pool area.<\/p>\n But recently we redid the masonry\/coping, tiling in the pool and changed over to salt water. It looks so pretty. So now we are thinking of giving the old pool house a facelift…doubt it will happen this year or not but the wheels are turning. Frankly I am “projected out”. We also are going to redo the bluestone around the pool, one thing at a time:)<\/p>\n Here are some pictures from the yard and newly revamped pool along with a photo session with our beloved bathing beauty-<\/p>\n And the now salt water pool complete with our resident bathing beauty who decided to christen it….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So there my friends is what’s gotten my attention this past week. Lots to love and be inspired by. How about you? Anything new on your end you want to share? Thank you as always for stopping by, wishing you a wonderful day and end to your weekend. Hope the sun is shining where you are, here it promises to be a spectacular day so happy I am headed back to the beach. Until next time……<\/p>\n PS A very short promo on a large batch of exquisite sample porcelain\/ormolu pieces began yesterday and ends tonight.
