Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
Our spurs are jingle jangle jingling...
We have seen some very large and important men carved perfectly out of a mountain.
We have ridden the rapids and have come out alive.
We have seen water shoot out of the air at skyscraper height.
Can you guess where we are??
Don't worry..
I'll fill you in on Monday..
Yeehaw!!
Be Safe, Ride a Horse and Have a Great Weekend!!

Ooo la la Times Two....
I have the privilege of spending 9 days with 2 of my favorite nieces...
Since they are half Frenchie...
I can't help but ALWAYS conjure some sort of Ooo la la in my head...
Since they are my ultimate, can't live without French import...
I thought I might just share a few of my other favorite French things...
and
Small Cars...
Red Shoes...
and of course..

11
They say that Steel marks the 11 year anniversary.
Luckily for us, Tall One, that we just so happen to be in a steel tube flying over some of the most gorgeous landscape our country has to offer. Even though all of our boys aren't with us now, I know that very soon we shall be a family of five again.
To think...
We started out as two
then three
then four
and now finally five.
How wonderfully lucky we are..
to be wrapped around their fingers

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
This Spring, myself as well as Chocolate Creative Design, was the busiest that we have EVER been...
1 birthday party, 1 Save the Date, 3 Wedding Invitation Suites, 1 designed & styled wedding, assisting 2 weddings on the Island, 1 Bridal Shower invite & party decor and ceremony & reception papers for 3 weddings...
Whew!!!
But..
Luckily the Monster and I were able to squeek in some gardening and now we are enjoying the fruits of our labor...
with gorgeous flowers, almost ripe tomatoes, zucchini the size of a baby and fresh fresh cucumbers...
The Monster and I have also been having the most glorious 3 weeks simply just playing, frogging, swimming, sailing, reading, laughing and eating ice cream...
There are a few more adventures up our sleeves in the coming weeks and can't wait to share with everyone!!
This year, I have learned that
it is OK to work hard
BUT
one must make time to play hard too!!
Happiest of Wedding Days today to the lovliest of couples..
Miss Spring & Mr. Silas
Maine will be the same!!
Stay Safe, Buy a Hula Hoop and Have a Great Weekend!!!

Papillon....

What is it about butterflies that simply touch your soul?
This Spring, I planted some extra special Bee Balm & Veronica just in time for their Summer arrival....
At the Island, the milkweed had overtaken the Hay fields...
So...a couple years ago, some decided that it was time to spray and rid the fields of what they think is a noxious weed...
So the Monster and I headed over there (crossing our fingers)
in hopes that this year we might just find some Monarch Butterfly eggs and caterpillars..
What we learned was...
that Mother Nature is very persistent
(and had obviously heard our wishes)
and never EVER gives up the good fight..
She not only brought back the healthiest batch of milkweed this year
but
THE largest selection of Monarch caterpillars & eggs
the eye could see...
A few beetles having some...ahem...fun
Some serious acrobatics..
No leaf unturned...
Almost time for chrysalis...
Giving Old Glory a nod on our way out...

Blistering Barnacles!!
I am OBSESSED with these paper-clay DIY barnacles over at
In fact..I could design an entire wedding around them...
In fact, Miss Lil Hoot needs to pick up some gold leafing so we could make some of these beauties for a certain lovely mermaid I know...
