Bling Bling!

Meredith shared this picture last week from Girl's weekend back in July. It just flat out amazes me. Reminds me of a Martha Stewart bridal ad!



Can you pick out who is who? Good job boys on some beautiful bling!

Congrats to B&S!!

After two long weeks of trial and many years of preparation, I would like to congratulate Boone and Stone on their win Friday in their case, Foster vs. Landstar. Their verdict set a record in the state of Georgia. I am so proud of Ryals and his dad!!

The winning team:



Celebrating afterwards on the Marietta Square!



Keep up the good work - this is the first of many wins to come!

All About Anthro

I don't currently own a house, but when I do I would like to deck it out in Anthro (in my dream world, I will be making more money when I own a house, thus making the dream of Anthro a reality). Here are some items I would like to add to my collection:

This would be great in my future foyer:



These are also available in red, slate and white embroidery.



Wouldn't you love this hanging over your breakfast banquette (oh yeah - my dream house has banquette seating)?



Eating icecream or cereal out of these:



This pillow makes me want to say "Hola"



My future built-in bookshelves will have one of these:



Mix one of these ottomans in with my neutral sectional for a pop of color:



I'm not sure where to put this, but I'll find a place:



My house won't be quite this messy, but I love the rug and navy wall combo:



Close up detail of said rug:



Another statement piece rug that could make a room!



Any antique furniture would be fab dressed up with this graphic black and white pull. Also, a touch of bright paint would make this really pop!



I love the serene color scheme of this pillow:



This wallpaper also comes in mustard yellow!



I love ALL their vases!

Beautiful Blueridge!

I am not going to lie. I have vacation depression right now. After 10 glorious days in Blueridge, I am having some serious sadness about returning to work. I sure am going to miss all of this:





Waterfall sightings:







Daily Sunset Booze Cruises:



New pontoon boat:



Getting chauffeured around:





Sidenote: Mom decided to repaint the adirondack chairs on our landing and spruce up that area a bit. Here is yours truly in the process of spray painting the formerly green chairs to red (each of us was assigned a chair to paint). I will try to take some pictures this weekend of how they turned out!

Good thing we're heading back up there for the 4th of July in just 5 short days!!

Thanks, Griffins!

Thanks again to Maggie and Dave for hosting us this weekend - I had so much fun lounging in the boat and soaking up sun! Can't wait to do it again soon...

Me and the boys...



Thanks Mr. Boat Driver!



Little brother Asa was so fun! I love him!



Cuddled up - it was cold at first, but turned out to be beautiful!!

Soon-to-be Mrs. Pennington!

Guess what...I'm BACK! Haven't posted since February and now I need to catch up big time!

Last weekend we hit the road around noon on Thursday and high tailed it down to Rosemary Beach for Ryanne's last fling before the ring! We were very pleased to see the townhouse we had booked was amazing!





Thursday night was Cinco de Mayo so we hit up the Mexican restaurant, which was a 30 second walk from our townhouse. We sipped on drinks (%50 off that night!) and waited for the other girls to get there.

Both Friday and Saturday we spent the day on the beach. We ate lunch both days at Wild Olives, which was a great little market type lunch place. Highlights of the beach time included running into Charles Kelly of Lady Antebellum and getting to see multiple beach weddings on Saturday!

5 out of 8 of us:





Both days looked like this...PERFECT:



Gorgeous beach wedding Saturday night...



Friday night we gave Ryanne a lingerie shower and then headed over to Bud and Alleys for dinner and after dinner drinks. It was so fun!

Cute Bride and Groom cookies with their initials:





One of the more racy items she got!







Cute drink umbrella topiary as a centerpiece!



Lots of gifts!



The whole group at dinner.



The three of us got martinis...oh no!









Saturday night we left the beach a little early to come in and watch the Kentucky Derby (most of the girls were from Kentucky). We all bet on who would win! My bet was for "Comma at the Top" but unfortunately, he did not place. In honor of the royal wedding and derby, we all made "fascinator" headpieces to wear out that night. That was such a cute idea and we all sported them the whole night!

We walked over to La Crema, an adorable fondue and tapas restaurant in downtown Rosemary Beach. I loved it! The fondue was amazing and it was the perfect way to end such a fun weekend!










Looking forward to the Pennington nuptials in Atlanta on June 4th!
