Eat, Drink, and Be Married

Happy Wedding Day to the beautiful bride and groom!  I'm so thrilled that my little sis is getting married today and couldn't be more happy for her and her soon to be Mr.   We have had quite the week here on Hilton Head Island, celebrating to the very fullest with our closest family and friends and one can't help to feel anything but blessed.  

Though my online presence has been non-existent this past week, I wanted to leave you with some photos I snapped of the cutie-pie couple before we left.  Aren't they the sweetest?  

Hope your week has been just as gorgeous darlings!

Catch up with you all very soon:)

Saturday was spent in the company of great friends in a great city.  I stuffed myself with poached pear salad with goat cheese and shepherd's pie and later some good old fashioned banana ice cream with brownie chunks at The Franklin Fountain.  Then we frolicked by the water.  Boy did we ever frolic ... like a bunch of goobers, but it was fun and kind of silly.  At night we were serenaded by the lovely Ingrid Michaelson.  Though our feet hurt from standing a long while and we decided we were old enough to break out the orthopedics, the music was so sweet as was the evening, so it really didn't matter - especially since third row standing position was scored.  So we danced and we laughed and enjoyed one another's company and were very thankful that moving to a new town meant meeting friends like these.  Before heading back home we did the most unhealthy thing and got cheesesteaks and experienced the heart of Philly all together.  I think I felt like a kid again - out and about gallivanting and carrying on in a city that never sleeps.   I do believe being in the company of true blue friends, makes you feel young at heart...and that's quite a good feeling.

The End.

Wishing you a carefree week darlings!
Love Bunches,

Friday Snippets for a Rainy Day

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day.

~The Cat In The Hat

As these very cold and dreary days have had me stuck inside, I've decided to make the most of it to conquer the cabin fever.  

So I:

Wrote a new song...it's the first I've done this in a very long while and it's not finished yet, but still, I was feeling quite accomplished.  I've also been fiddling with my own arrangements of "Don't Stop Believin", "Stereo Heart", "Snowed Under", and "Little Talks" nonstop.  It's kind of fun to put your own spin on things.

I won a personalized piece of artwork from Ana of Ana Cloud.  Naturally I asked for a painting of some keys.  I finally got around to giving it a proper home on my wall after a couple failed attempts.



S'more's Cupcakes.  This was my first go-about with them and they were pretty darn delicious with only a few minor kinks to work out.  The toasted marshmallow creme on top was way too divine.

Plenty of play and cuddle time with my little guy. <3



The simple life is simply a sweeter one.
Happy Friday darlings!  See you tomorrow!

Just slightly under the weather today darlings.  Nothing major, just a tiny case of the sniffles following an afternoon spent with my good friend hiking in the rain yesterday.  There's too many enchanting little spaces to uncover, that we couldn't help ourselves.  Right in the middle of our explorations a fierce wind picked up and the rain came spilling down from the skies.  It didn't really stop us though so I arrived home drenched down to the bone.  I may never learn:)  Oh well, a large cup of green tea always does the trick.  If you follow me on instagram, I'm sure you have seen a couple of my photos to show for it here.


The above were taken a couple weeks back on my way to drama practice for the youth team I coach.  I've had quite the hankering lately to photograph my surroundings more and more.  Never have I been inspired by such beauty.  As I get the hang of my new camera, I'm sure you will start to see much more of this around these parts.  Hope you don't mind:)  


Other than that Chantilly from Chantilly Songs is doing the sweetest little vintage apron giveaway on her blog...you can click here to enter.  It's too adorable not to.


Have a fantastical weekend darlings!  See ya soon!

So the weather has finally warmed up a bit...for the time at least, and I've felt nothing but compelled to go out and start exploring this strange and scenic little neighborhood in which I live.  I'm looking forward to summers canoeing and spending time on the water.  A friend recently told me about a little canal off this lake that runs into a pond full of lily pads and these curious abandoned round shaped buildings which have been turned on their sides and spray painted.  Goodness, I can't wait to see that, but for now I will settle for exploring this dock in my recently thrifted duck boots.  Perhaps not the prettiest choice of footwear but practical for tromping these stony grounds.  It's quiet here on Beech Lake and I quite like that.

What's new in your world darlings?

Good day Darlings,
Total flashback - These photos were from the other weekend when I was in Philly.  Goodness me, I love South Street!  No lie, it's probably my favorite place to go when I'm down in the city.  Whether it be to catch a show at the cozy little TLA or grab a coffee or peruse a record store or vintage shop...Albert and I have always loved wasting our time away here on this street from the very beginning.  We have woven so many memories here to say the least.  It may not be the cleanest or most polished street, and perhaps you'll even stumble upon the infamous Condom Kingdom...(yikes, never been there but can you spot it?), but it's diversity gives it a raw energy like none other for such a small lil ol place.  If nothing else, you'll have a blast people watching.

Oh the places we go: so tell me, where do you fancy spending your time at?
Hope your Thursday finds you well!
Love ya bunches!

Why hello there darlings,
It's February 2nd...hooray!!!  I would have been typing this on February 1st, but those darn sniffles had me on the couch all day, though that's besides the point.  It's now the month of love (please don't gag) and I am ever so delighted because that means January is finito and I made it through in one piece not frozen into a solid block of ice.   Guess I'm being a little dramatic here.  If I've learned one thing about living in the mountains...it's to appreciate the snow.  I can't deny, it's pretty darn beautiful.  These photos were taking just at the end of the road on which I live.

I do have some fun little things up my sleeves this month, but right now I must be off as the confections call me.  Lots of cupcake baking in order for my sister's birthday this weekend.

Tootaloo for now!!
Love bunches,
