This beautiful white drink from I Heart Naptime would be perfect on any summer day, but the white makes it perfect for the 4th of July - pop in a red and/or blue straw for a perfect look with a perfect taste.

Lovely Lace ...

 Lovely Lace ...  Lovely Dresses ... Lovely Cloths ... Lovely Weddings ...

I love this dress - the fabric falls so softly. 
From  Lauren Elizabeth
I also like the color of his suit.

and the décor was lovely too - love the color scheme - it's all lovely ...

Here is a long sleeve. However, I sometimes have a hard time with a see thru sleeve like this (I'm kinda different that way - just me!), but would love to see it with a white fabric underlay.
Several dresses , including this one, can be seen at Wedding Ideas.

I found this on google, and would love to see a better view of the dress.

What Makes You Smile?

We've all heard that

a smile is contagious! 

Well, here is a smile I saw

that made me smile.

When I awoke in the morning and looked at the jars we had completed the previous evening I found the top of this jar dried as happy as can be. 

CAN YOU SEE IT?

Two big brown eyes, a tiny off-centered nose, and a great big smile.

There it was ... staring me in the face ... wishing me a great and a

HAPPY DAY!

I love canning!

 I love to see the finished product in my pantry! It does make me smile!

 

We all love to eat the finished product throughout the year!

Home preserved fruit is so much better than store bought!

For our family it is well worth the effort!

Do you love to can?  Does it make you smile?

Here is wishing you

a great and a

HAPPY DAY!

Flowers in Jars and Vases as Centerpieces

This is a look I love ... still!

Bottles / Jars / Cans

Saving bottles and jars has been a thing I do for many years now, and it's getting worse - probably because I have more ideas on how to use them now. 

Here is a great post from Yellow Brick Home on how to clean wax out of a jar.

Here is a great look using a saved bottle and a saved can -

How about a different shape of can - from Second Chances

Outdoor Lounging and Jar Candle Cluster

I so adore outdoor tents and lounge areas. And bottles and jars always seem to find their way to the top of my list. These photos come from a beautiful wedding in Madrid Spain, shown at Ruffled.

Rustic Beauty

To me, this board from Utterly Engaged could easily be titled "Rustic Beauty". I like it all, though I would have probably angled the tag instead of leaving it horizontal...just my preference..., but everything else is quite lovely to me.

Another DIY for Colored Glass Bottles

Always intriguing to me!

Sweet Memories Jar

Great Idea From Inchmark

Fill a jar with the funny and clever things your children say.

Bottles, Jars, Flowers - Still a Great Combo

Ever so lovely Style Me Pretty


This is a pretty collection! It looks like there could be name cards hanging on the vases. Do the guests pick up their flowers, take them to their table (adding decor and eliminating assigned seats) and then take them home (as their favor)? Cool! Once Wed



From a wedding somewhere???

Bottles are available from Luna Bazaar and Amazon sells from them too. (haven't compared prices) Each color has about 7 different styles of bottles.
