Lusting for Lilly....

Okay, really, I shouldn't be saying "lust" as that is one of the 7 deadly sins, so let's not say that, let's say that I am just loving these new Lilly items and I really, REALLY would love to have them....(down girl still on budget after buying house, need to remind myself).

Oh well, there's always the sales at Splash of Pink, Preppy Outlet, the Sale Shack at C. Orrico etc., etc.!!!

In addition, today is my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! And, my darling sweet, sweet husband who I love and adore more than ever after 8 years of marriage, got me a fantastic gift (no, it's not Lilly), but it's a super fantastic gift that I will post about later. I've been wanting one for a while and he surprised me with it, so I REALLY have no room to complain for my lack of fall Lilly!

Anyways, without further ado, here are my latest wishes:

I adore this Olivia Colorblocked Ponte dress, the navy with the bright pink buttons! Too cute and perfect for the office!


I dont' wear turtlenecks much in S. Florida, but if I did, this would be perfect for me, I love the colors in the Soni Printed Turtleneck.


This Lisette skirt in twill is just too cute and would bring little color to the normally drab colors, plus the fabric type is perfect for fall.


I've seen these Palm Beach printed pants in person and
if I could only pick one Lilly, this would be it. Again, love the twill fabric.


One always needs a pink top that will match anything and everything Lilly (or not!).



Have a great day!

Book Swap Feedback


Thanks to Jo over at Bees & Fleur de lis, I have a new pile of books waiting for me on my nightstand. Jo was my partner for the book swap I hosted a few weeks ago and for me, it was a fantastic experience. For those of you that also participated, please give me some feedback. Was it great? Awful? Would you swap again in the future? ~smooches~

This is what happens...

.....when someone doesn't take a nap at school, she falls asleep...and I mean dead asleep...in the car.

Adorably cute toaster

Now, who wouldn't love waking up to this toasting your bagel or waffle? I spied this at a little downtown Stuart shop called April Daze. Isn't it adorable? I'd say this is perfect for a college dorm room or apartment! I wish it was perfect for my kitchen, but I think the colors would clash just a little. Thankfully, I have my Lilly travel mug to brighten my morning instead!

boo y'all


Look what I won from My Flip Flopz! How exciting! Three of my favorite things, Halloween, cute signs that say "y'all" and of course - PINK & GREEN! I mean how fitting is this for me? I can't wait to get it!

Have y'all visited her Etsy shop? She makes all types of these adorable signs for any occasion. I encourage you to stop on over and take a look, I know she'll appreciate it ;-)

Weekend Recap

As usual, we didn't do much (which is a fabulous thing!). Husband had to work Saturday, so Lallie and I stayed home and watched cartoons, baked cookies for Church and finger painted and did some crafting. I also had some time to read and watch the UK vs. Louisville football game while Lallie napped. Go CATS! We did get a quick swim in Saturday morning before it started pouring down rain (the reason we were inside all day!). Here's a picture of Lallie cartoon watching on our bed after our swim.


This picture is for a special blog friend....

On Sunday, we headed off the Church where we both sweated like crazy (we were the coffee and treat hosts and the coffee stand is outside! It's still REALLY hot down here!) Lallie went to Sunday school for the 2nd week in a row and did wonderfully We are finally able to sit and actually hear a sermon!

It was pretty nice that afternoon, so we were able to swim and I finished some crafting projects I've been working on.

Kentucky Visit

Okay, as promised, our Kentucky visit pictures are finally downloaded and posted. Beware, there are LOTS of pictures as many out-of-town friends and family have been pestering me for these (not really, but I know they've been checking daily for them!).

Day 1 - Livestock Show
I like this picture because I love my pants, they're just fun!


Lallie playing in the dirt. Keep in mind, we don't have dirt in S. Florida, we have sand and it's normally covered in fire ants, so Lallie had never really played in the dirt. This was a little of a controversy because....


....well, it's a livestock show. Lallie was pulled from the dirt and hands sanitized, so no worries!

Lallie thought the chickens were just amazing. She loved them!


This poor little lamb was ridden back and forth, multiple times, by several little girls. While cute, we all felt a little bad for the lamb.



Day 2: The Tobacco Festival
Daddy and Lallie at the Folk Art Museum


At the Tobacco Festival parade. Who doesn't love a balloon (that cost $4.00!)?


The Hillbilly float.


This is the single only picture we have of Lallie and Granny. Thank you husband for taking it or I wouldn't of had any of them at all!


Relaxing after the parade.

On parade day, we also got to see Uncle Wayne and Aunt Judy who came in from North Carolina and Uncle Lynn and Aunt Susan from Lexington. So, we were thrilled to see everyone since we missed this year's family reunion.

Day 3: Hanging out at home.
For those of you who saw my home grown food post, here are the gooseberries. Yum!



Lallie and Uncle Pat's girlfriend, Jess. Lallie and Jess are great buds!


Day 4: Weiner Roast
Cousin Adam's puppy, Axel.


We all love this picture of Lallie's Great Aunt Patricia and her. They both just look (and are) so happy!



And a weiner roast isn't a weiner roast without smores for dessert! Double yum!


Uncle Patrick and Lallie. Again, great buds!



Day 5: Visiting Great Aunt Patricia and Uncle Larry Dale.
Lallie and Callie the cat. We ate Patricia's homemade apple pie....every.last.crumb!



We miss everyone so much and can't wait until our next visit north to either one of our family homes in Kentucky. Love to all!
