Hello sweet friends! I hope you are enjoying the day. It has been raining all week here and it will continue for the next week. I hope to pop out to the garden to pull some weeds if it lets up. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the U.S. so enjoy an early Saturday Smiles 301. I’m hoping someone will make me these delicious orange crescent rolls soon.
Artfully Arranged
My peonies this year were the size of my hand and smelled so wonderful. Here’s a great post on how to arrange them.
A Charming Bookstore
I’m headed to Boston later this summer and hope to visit Beacon Hill Books & Cafe.
A Cute Summer Craft
I want to make these Wicker Napkin Rings to use on my summer tablescapes.
A Costwold Cottage
If you love chintz, floral and charm this lovely Cotswold stone cottage is for you.
Saturday Smiles 301
One thing I decided early on in Motherhood is that I would be present in my kids pictures. I have very few photos of my mother and me which is sad. I just had to laugh at some of these shots taken of moms by their kids. (Please note: there are images of women’s bodies unclothed.)
Garage Laundry Room Reveal
I have seen plenty of garage and basement photos of what the “before” looked like. You have to see this pretty transformation.
In Case You Missed It
I shared a Retro Inspired Cocktail Party to celebrate Sweet Guy’s engagement.
I’ve been working on new sunroom décor for the summer. I plan to share the first corner on Tuesday.
Laura
Oh, my gosh, the pictures of the mothers taken by their children are priceless. I appreciate the women’s personal senses of humor and willingness to share. I’m going over to look at the cottage now. I always enjoy Saturday Smiles.
Happy Mother’s Day, Laura!
