Hello and happy Sunday. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Ours has been quite relaxing, dinner with good friends, caught up on a stack of mail, finished a book…all in all a good weekend. On Saturday I had two couples over and enjoyed a really nice alfresco dinner. With summer almost coming to an end, need to enjoy those outdoor meals!<\/p>\n

I really wanted to set up dinner around the pool as it is on my very<\/em> low key bucket list for the summer (being a realist) as there is nothing nicer than dining pool\/water side. Made me wonder why I haven’t thought of it sooner. The main obstacle is\u00a0 lugging everything down there plus there is no kitchen, so there is the added qaundary of keeping things hot. One day when I have a helper and extra pair of hands,\u00a0 I will try it:) Trying to savor summer as best as I can since summer weekends are going by fast and furious! Anywho, let’s move on to things I cannot wait to share with you-<\/p>\n

1 A SNEAK PEEK AT THE HOLIDAY GIFT WRAP!<\/strong> SO excited about this!! You can say you saw it here first. I am just over the moon<\/em> with how gorgeous our new holdiay papers are. The holidays cannot come soon enough as far as I am concerned! Uber talented Leslie of Giddy Paperie brought my ideas to life to perfection, being the talented artist that she is.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing to dream something up but quite another to have it come to fruition and surpass your expectations. However that is just what happened. I could not love these more! My favorite holiday gift wrap collection to date.<\/p>\n

To boot we will have our fabulous topiary ornament collection which will debut in about a month and adding topiary gift toppers this year! So lots of holiday beauty coming this way. We will hold a presale on both ornaments and gift wrap sometime in September for all you early birds. This definitely puts me in the holiday mood! We will also be getting as we did last year, the luxurious beautiful velvet ribbons to coordinate.<\/p>\n

These will all be reversible in our super high quality glossy gift wrap!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will also be offering matching tissue<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN FETE <\/strong>I love the feeling of this, maybe because I feel summers end coming on faster than I would like, but those alfresco gatherings just do it for me. This is a beautiful alfresco setting created by Frances Schultz for Flower Magazine. Kind of makes me want to plan one myself:) Click here to read the entire article.<\/em><\/a>

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST<\/strong> Never ever at a loss of fabulous inspiration to share with you via instagram. So many beautiful images this weekend. Instagram has definitely made 2020 bearable…given that it was not the greatest year and I needed all the beauty and inspiration that I could find.

4 AN INSPIRING STORY<\/strong>. I love this story that a friend of mine sent. This is the story of 110 year old Alfie (who was Australia’s oldest living citizen), a lifelong knitter who has spent his retirement years knitting up tiny clothes\/sweaters for the penguins of Phillips Island. Sadly Alfie recently passed away however what he did for those penguins and for restoring people’s faith in the basic goodness of human beings will live on for a long, long time. Beautiful!
