Weekend Recap and Forecast in One

I’m back to grind this week. It was a wonderful weekend in sunny St. Pete. The wedding was beautiful; they are too of the loveliest people. I was a dancing machine! Wish I had more photos to share.  St. Pete has a wonderful market on Saturdays, they had music, organic foods, and crafts.

 the cutest little bungalow
and a rice cake popper!

But now it’s back to business. The Mr. and I have completed a walk through the front yard and have some tentative plans. Still working on compromising on plant types. Stay tuned for final plan next week.  It looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend and I hope to get started tomorrow!

Something Pretty

Happy hump day.  Wanted to share some random pretty finds to get you this a cloudy Wednesday.

Finally

It was a pretty perfect weekend.  Girls night Friday.  Saturday with my man.  And a Sunday decorating with my mama.  The icing on the cake is a 4 day work week followed by a wedding weekend in St. Pete and day light savings.  Life doesn't get much better than that! 

Saturday the Mr. and I went to Serenbe for the day.  Serenbe is the an adorable little community with a sustainability lifestyle.  We at a wonderful brunch at The Hil, I had a sandwich with pimento cheese, bacon, and fried farm egg all organic ingrediants.  It was absolutly amazing!  The we did some shopping at some super cute little shops.  Here are a few pictures...The Bilt-House wonderful gifts and gift ideas.

I wish I had more photos of the houses to share apparently I get too busy looking around and forget to take pictures.  It such a precious community and everyone waves to each other...I love that!  I would definitely suggest for a summer trip.  In the summer they have a Saturday market, horse back riding, and lots of hiking trails.

Last but not least we FINALLY finished painting and filling the guestroom bookshelves.  Here's a sneak peek I plan to do a full post on the state of the guestroom later this week.

I wish I had my coffee in this rocker this morning.  Photo credit unknown - I'm sorry I have no idea where I found this. 



March...ing Foward

I can not believe it is March already and I can feel spring is in the air!!!  It's scary how fast this year is going by.  I am a person of lists and unfortunately I'm a bit behind on my check list so far due to some unforeseen occuances 2011 has brought us and put us a bit behing.  That being said I have full confidence that March will bring good cheer and adventures.  This month my list looks like this....

1. Guestroom is painted now I need to decorate the built in bookshelves and hang art.
2. This weekend with help from the Mr. we plan to start planting new grass in the front and back yard.
3. March 12th weekend we are headed to St. Pete for a very dear friends wedding weekend and fun in the sun...sooo excited!
4. By March 14th I will have a landscape plan ready and will hopefully begin and complete stage one by the end of the month.

I think that is about all I can handle at this time.  I'm both energize and exhausted just thinking about it.

A Monday with a Plan

Monday came too quickly this week...way too quickly.  This weekend was absolutly beautiful and full of cleaning up the yard.  I filled 15 lawn bags and 2 trash cans full of leaves, weeds, and dead plants.  And we still have some clearing out to do before we have a starting point.  Nevertheless, I'm so excited to begin landscaping and planting this year!  I am all over the board with what kind of plants and what colors...hence why we've lived here almost 2 years and have yet to landscape.  So I've decided I need to force myself to begin making a decision and am giving myself 2 weeks to create a plan.  By March 14th I will have some plans to share.  I'm very excited about getting started...wish us luck!

Oh and the guestroom is finally painted!  Yay...unfortunately it's dark and rainy tonight so I won't have photos to share until later this week, but I can't wait to share.
