Good Sunday to you! Hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing summer weekend. A little crazy that July 4th is now behind us and it’s full steam ahead into the second half of summer. We are in East Hampton this weekend with lots going on,\u00a0 and banking on great weather and some summer fun with friends.<\/p>\n

It’s been a very<\/em> busy summer so far, and I am still trying to carve some more down time. I vowed to make the second half of July into August more about finding time to relax a bit more, work a little less because you know what’s around the bend- the H word….the holidays and there is most certainly no rest for the weary come September.\u00a0 I am bracing for holiday frenzy:) Onward to my Seven on Sunday……<\/p>\n

1 ONE FABULOUS TABLE<\/strong> Oh my, this incredible table took my breath away! Talented Paige Minear along with two tastemakers\u00a0 set up this fabulous table at the fabled Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. Epic is one word. I was excited to see my now bestselling basketweave flatware used and was so thrilled to be a part of this incredible table setting. These beautiful pics were taken by Andrea Kinnear. Click here to visit Paige over at the Pink Clutch to see more pictures and get the backstory on this fun day!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

3 ATTENTION ALL TRAVELERS! <\/strong>Did you know that you can now renew your passport with Fed Ex in 24 hours!! Where was this info when about 8 years ago we got to JFK, bound for the Caribbean only to discover that someone in our party found out his passport had expired! I thought this was excellent info to share as I don’t know that the average person is aware of this? Pass it on, with summer being a top travel time, I am sure someone will find themselves needing a passport ASAP! Click here for more info.<\/em><\/a>

4 NEW FAVORITE NECKLACE THAT YOU WILL LOVE AND ADORE!!\u00a0<\/strong> I was so excited when I found this then did a total double take at the price!! This is F A B U L O U S and goes with everything, I chose the pearly white but it comes in a beautiful soft shade of pink as well.<\/p>\n

Love the chunkiness of it too. I\u00a0 had bought one very similar a few years back from a shop in Bermuda that was about 5 times the price of this and it has disappeared, so when I found this one, I was jumping for joy. I have worn it several times already and everyone comments on it. A fabulous piece for dressing up any summer outfit, click here for info<\/em><\/a>

5. INSPIRING STORY<\/strong> I just love sharing these stories, they make my heart swell and bring a smile to my face. Makes you realize the world is full of really good people, we just need to talk about them and the things they do more than we do the bad.\u00a0 So I am doing my part every Sunday:) I have always had such a soft spot for the homeless, to me, I cannot imagine anything more personally degrading, talk about hitting rock bottom in life. Just thinking of the effort required to get just a warm meal or a hot shower brings tears to my eyes.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am particularly moved about how many young<\/em> people are making it a mission to go out and help the homeless, it is not only very touching but is incredibly inspiring. It is so<\/em> easy to forget the forgotten, and what a beautiful thing this young man did.<\/p>\n

You can skip over the first couple minutes but it is sooooo worth seeing when he first meets the homeless man and gets his backstory, and the rest is just too good to not watch! Everyone has a story with dreams and aspirations, their hopes are no different than ours. I sent this to my boys and have challenged them to do something similar. I love the idea that these acts of kindness are contagious, and cannot imagine anything more rewarding than paying it forward.<\/p>\n
