The Gazebo Project and a Birthday Celebration
For the past 3 months, I have been working with my in-laws on their awesome gazebo that they have built in their backyard by the pool. The gazebo is complete and we are now just waiting on the draperies, dining chair cushions, and hosts chairs to come in. 
This is a rendering of the room by their architect, Daly Smith. I can't wait to show y'all the finished product once everything is installed. It is gorgeous!
We celebrated Claude's 80th birthday, my husband's grandmother, on Sunday night. It was a wonderful celebration!! Most of Reg's family was there, and we all gathered outside in the gazebo to celebrate. Above is a picture of Annie with her great grandmother, Claude, sitting in the Curacao Club Chairs from Walters Wicker that were installed just in time for the party. We ordered 4 of these chairs and they are circled around the fireplace. We needed something small, but super comfortable and these chairs were perfect! Hopefully the room will be complete by Thanksgiving...stay tuned!

Lamp Love
One of my favorite lamps ever is the Laslo Lamp from Bungalow 5. I LOVE this double gourd, porcelain lamp with its graphic green & brown hand painted pattern. It adds the perfect pop of color and pattern to a room. 
It also comes in blue and brown if you're interested.

Here it is in my family room. It makes me smile every time I look at it....it's the little things in life that make me happy!

Under the Live Oaks at Seminole Plantation
This past weekend we attended an AMAZING wedding of a dear friend, Sarah Brooks, at Seminole Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia.
The setting was out of a movie! The ceremony was held under tons of beautiful live oaks. It was simply breathtaking!
When you walked into the ceremony, you were greeted with lemonade served in mason jars...so southern and refreshing!
All of the flowers were awesome! These were the flowers as you were walking down the aisle. I loved the tables they were sitting on...it was just 3 pieces of firewood with a marble top.
This was the bride's bouquet....gorgeous!
Perfect for the fall and I loved all of the containers!
My favorite part of the reception were these glass candle lit lanterns hanging from the trees.... so romantic!
I told you...straight from a movie!
Everything was picture perfect and the bride and groom could not be happier. It was a wonderful weekend!

Off the Chart
Annie turned 4 months old this past Saturday. I can't believe how fast time flies and how much my little boo has grown! 
She had her 4 month check up today and everything went well. She now weighs 15 lbs and is 26 3/4 inches long! This puts her in the 80th percentile in weight and she is OFF THE CHART in height! The nurse had to remeasure her to make sure she wasn't mistaken, and she wasn't... little Annie is just a giant. She's going to be looking down on her 5' nothing parents before we know it :).
She loved playing with the paper on the table and looking at herself in the mirror.

Pumpkin Carving Time
Halloween is only a few days away!! Hope y'all have your costumes ready. It's also time to pull out your pumpkin carving tools (mine are my kitchen knives) and get to carving. You've got to have your pumpkins all lit up for the little trick-or-treaters! Here are a few fun and different ideas from good ole Martha Stewart...
First off, check out Martha's bag of tools....pretty intense! Your going to need them though, if you plan on doing some of the intricate carving that she has in mind.
You have to be a brain surgeon to carve these beauties!
Love these pumpkin votives!
How cute is this little owl family? It could be the Buzzell's...mama, papa and little Annie!
These pumpkins are a little more my speed. All you have to do is punch a bunch of holes in the pumpkin and then stick Christmas lights in each hole...pretty easy!
