Fall Picnic

My favorite part about living in a Southern state is that we get to enjoy fall for so long.

We can take a picnic and enjoy the beauty of Autumn without freezing.

And there are sooo many good eats this time of year! 

It'd be a shame to have to enjoy them all inside! 

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Take Me To The Ocean

The Beach

The epitomy of summer. 

The sights. 

The sounds.

The movement. 

The mix of warm and cool.

The enticing welcome. 

Summer.

At Home in Tuscany

I have a fantasy that I have a house in Tuscany.

It is located outside a quaint and quiet old village.

The driveway makes you feel like you are entering another world. 

And when you get there, it looks like this. 

I go there at least once a year for a month or two. 

It is the perfect mix of old and new. 

It is set on the most perfect hill in Tuscany. 

With amazing views on all sides. 

Paradise.

Maybe someday I'll at least get to see a place like this.

Cozy Christmas

Sometime I think it would be fun to spend Christmas in a cozy little cabin somewhere.

Something about the simplicity of it really appeals to me.  Just sitting around sipping hot cider and enjoying the company of those you love sounds so nice.

Being able to walk outside and feel the snow falling in isolated silence.

To be able to actually use real pine bows and berries in your holiday decorating, complete with real candles, sounds wonderful.

I would love to be able to walk outside and find pine cones in the woods.

To see the snow falling and slowly covering everything in sight sounds so relaxing.

To go on long evening walks through snow covered woods sounds very romantic.

There's something so enticing about a homemade pie.

There's something so inviting about a real wood burning fire.

Something about homemade foods and drinks bring out the best in family time.

Have a tender, cozy Christmas.

Scrappy Keychains

I love new ideas to use those tiny bits of fabric you have no other use for! 

How about making some adorable key chains out of them!! 

Such a cute and easy idea seen on {Living With Punks}.

Summer at the Seaside

I can't think of summer without thinking of the beach. 

Someday, I'd love to have a romantic dinner on the beach. 

I'd love to wake up and walk out to the beach.

I'd love to have a white picket fence by the beach.

I'd love to be able to sail out whenever I felt like it.

I love all things nautical.

And I love seashells.
