rose and raspberries

Today I am inspired by the colors of roses and raspberries. It looks so summery....a reminder to enjoy every bit of summer while it is still here!

And with that reminder, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Be sure to check in next week because Poppies and Sunshine is hosting it's very first giveaway! It is going to be a great one and I am so excited to share more about it!

The Path of the Sun

I love Anthropologie's new arrivals. They perfectly express summer with beautiful colors and patterns inspired by fire, clouds, fireflies, and sangria.

Seaside

Let's go to the seaside...

...where sea is in love with sand.

What will your summer story be?

Sunshine is Delicious

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."

-John Ruskin

This quote may be true, but with all the cold weather, I am absolutely craving to be in any of these images! I can't wait to feel the sun and sand on the beach :)

Summer Nights

For those of you who still have some warm summer nights left, let Martha Stewart be your guide to make the last of summer a little extra special!

I love this idea for candle chandeliers. Such an inexpensive way to add some sparkle to your outdoor space.

Why not invite some guests over for get together to say farewell to summer nights with these cute lantern invitations?

Make your own drink umbrellas!

Keep bees away by covering food with an embroidery hoop and muslin.

And add some magic to your space with these vellum lanterns.

Pink & Green Thursday: Summertime

I'm playing along with sweet Trish from Pink Preppy Lilly Lover for Pink & Green Thursday. In keeping with the summer theme this week, today is all about pink & green summer delights!

Put away your winter umbrellas, because it's time for summer and all that goes along with it...

...bringing out the summer fashions...

...going on vacation...

...exploring new places...

...lazy days...

...daydreaming...

...watching the sunset...

...swimming...

...going on bike rides...

...spending time on the beach...

...going to the fair...

...summer parties...

...catching up with friends...

...and enjoying nature.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer filled with all joyous things!

I'm also playing along with Summer Sundays at The Tablescaper. Go check out all the summery posts there!
