Dining room

we have been going non-stop this summer. I think we have been home 6 days in the past 3-4 weeks. CRAZY! I am also going crazy not finishing my home. There is still sooo much to do. I am loving this dining table and chairs. I keep going back to this again and again. Monday we will hopefully be back in the swing of things for a short while. Hope your summer is going well!Any comments on the table and chairs?

Lovely!

Picked from the backyard and sitting on my kitchen table!

How sweet!

How sweet are these place settings. They are a one time use, but just precious! You can find them there

Green

Although I have a LONG way to go before I would call myself green-I think you have to start somewhere. I love these bags-reusable-fun print and much better choice than the plastic grocery bags. If everyone was a little more green minded we could make the world a better place-here's to being more green!

Make your own dressing

As I was flipping through one of my all time favorite magazines(Williams-sonoma) I fell upon this and can't wait to get one. I love fresh salads and really only prefer my own dressing-this will give me good ideas and a yummy creamy dressing.
