Pinterest Party

Lately, I have been seeing the most enchanting tablescapes and get-togethers on Pinterest.  Whether a high-noon tea party, small gathering in the garden, or a midsummer night's dream dinner with friends, I'd RSVP to any of them:

Wouldn't you want to attend one of these fabulous fêtes?  Or perhaps you'd like to play hostess.  
If so, Annemarie's got some great tips for planning your own soiree.  Check them out here!

Tuesday Two-Play: Behind the Lens Inspired

People Help The People by Birdy

Young Blood (Cover) by Birdy

Today's music picks- performed by 16 year-old British musician Jasmine van den Bogaerde (Birdy)- were inspired by the captivating work of photographer Tim Irving.  Tim is based out of Suffolk, United Kingdom and authors two blogs: StyleMed and The Negative.  He also has an Etsy shop featuring the most incredible photographs, which he claims commemorate his childhood*.  And I have to say, I completely agree with him on that.  His pictures are engaging, and you can definitely see a recurring theme of spring, greenness, juvenescence, and youth.  Take a glimpse through Irving's looking-glass to see what I mean...

Tim's talent with a camera really is like a time-travel!  If you'd like to view more of his splendid little snapshots, visit here.

Grillin' out with the fam

Obsessing over May's issue

Getting a little cold and wet
