So we may be a little late to the game for summer patio beautifying, but you just can't resist a great deal when it goes 75% off. This 9-foot umbrella from World Market looks so stinkin' adorable on our patio ... now I just have to get pillows made to match! It was originally $120, and we got it for $30. BAM!

So, it's decided. I need this mint suede belt from C. Wonder. It was $48, now marked down to $19.99 with an additional 50% off. Ten bucks, people. Now that's love.

During our recent girls weekend in Charlotte, my girlfriend Kerry brought the most delicious rosemary shortbread cookies from a cute little bakery in Greenville, SC. I fell deeply, madly, passionately in love with them. (Not exaggerating.) So the other day, guess what I spotted? A Martha Stewart recipe for Rosemary Butter Cookies. I think they look so similar -- I can't wait to try out this recipe and see if I can recreate this delicacy!

Last Saturday morning we broke out a little arts + crafts action at the house! These ECU wreaths for the front doors were so easy to make. Ian and I painted the letters and then I created the bows using yellow burlap. The wreaths are such a fun welcome to the house!

We are so happy to have lots of friends that live right around us -- so let's raise a glass to a great weekend guaranteed to make happy memories!
Your turn -- what are your five?

ReplyDeleteWhat a steal on that umbrella!! Did you get it in the store? Did you have a coupon too - or just good luck?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
The recipe for the rosemary butter cookies looks so good! Leave it to Martha, of course. I will have to try it soon, maybe as a treat for my palate after what will inevitably be a weekend of football food. - M
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the umbrella! I've been on the hunt for some awesome outdoor deals now that people are focused on fall. Will have to check out World Market. Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteYou and Natasha have busted out with some serious craftiness this week ---- love that wreath!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you love World Market?! I don't love that I paid full price for our orange umbrella, BUT I'm glad to know that they go on mega sale, so I'll make sure to look for that when it's time for a new one! Love the colors on yours ... adds a lot of fun I think! :)
Happy weekend, dear! Oh, and thanks so much for recommending the Skimm ---- LOVING IT.

ReplyDeleteI say snag the great deals while you can! Lowes had my bench I wanted 50% last weekend and I couldn't resist either..I still have a few good outside weeks before Fall sets in ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat steal on the umbrella! And how cute your back patio is!
ReplyDeleteAlso-my favorite kind of weekend is the kind with no real plans! Just wing it! Happy Friday!
