A Lovely Day. . .


with lovely people . . .
lovely couples. . .
lovely children. . .
and of course, lovely food. . .

we had such a fantastic time hosting everyone. It was the PERFECT day. We have a great backyard for living in a development where the houses are on top of each other. We have lots of trees and shade and by 4:00 when we ate it was completely shaded with gorgeous light. We have a fire pit we built into the patio so about 6:30 we lit it up and sat around with friends warming our toes and talking. We had a huge bounce house in Ruth and Rich's yard just next door so the kids were quite entertained. In fact, I found that my boys had put themselves to bed on their own before 9:00 that night!

It is raining here today (a true gift) and I have the music turned up loud, making Santa Fe soup, preparing for an entire day in the studio coming up with next month's vintage kits. I am hoping to do quite a few for November and December for people to pick up as Christmas gifts (I know I will be making a few for family this year)! I am also toying with the idea of a new kit category (or two) that I will keep you posted on.

Have a great Monday!

Pin It!

Jenni and Jared, we had such a lovely time. It was a beautiful day and the food, decor and hospitality just couldn't have been better. You all are the sweetest...

Can't wait to see what the new "vintage categories" are -- you just threw that out there to tempt us, didn't you!?!? *ha* Well....it worked!
