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!

Pink Party

In honor of Valentine's Day,

 I thought this was a super cute party!  All pink, but fairly easy to pull together.

Just pink flowers in jars, a pink runner, a pink cake,

 pink balloons and lanterns hanging from the ceiling, pink beads and ribbons draped on the chandelier.

super cute!

Then, just serve all your favorite pink foods - mostly cookies! And pink drinks with pink straws and pink utensils.

Love everything about this party! How cute!! Check it out at {The Pleated Poppy}.

Gingerbread Party

We all love Gingerbread!

Who wouldn't love a Gingerbread Party!!?

Super cute this time of year with all the red and white.

I love the snowflakes hanging down!

Cute little cupcakes.  What a cute way to decorate them!!  Candycanes and M&Ms.  Cute!

Super cute santa hat pops!

Love the decorated hot chocolate mugs!!  And a red plate full of white marshmallows.  So cute!

These would be fun for the kids to make at the party.  Dip marshmallows in chocolate and put sprinkles on top. mmm

A Lovely Picnic

This just seems like THE perfect activity or party theme for this month.

 What a beautiful picnic September makes!  All the golden sunlight and the wonderful food harvest brings!

 And don't you love all the baskets hanging from the trees, and how they set it all up on plain old cloth, and how they put those daisys in tin cans!?

 I love this time of year!

Sweet September Sundown

Perfect time of year to be outdoors at sunset.

Filling the new night with your own lights. 

What I wouldn't give for a backyard that was fun to spend time in right now! 

In the sweet september night. 

Where every night can feel like your own private party.
