-Hello hurricane season-

do you mind leaving my labor day alone?

looks like Hurricane Earl is heading towards

good ol' North Carolina

hope that he doesn't hit the coast too bad

if the power goes out

maybe we'll build a fort in the living room

candle light makes everything 

so much more fun

17 North Roadside Kitchen - farm to table in my own backyard

~My favorite moment from our fantastic meal out last night~

me: "Do you want to try my Macaroni & Cheese- it's amazing."

(Boyfriend swiftly grabs the souffle dish with amazing mac and cheese and plucks  off parsley garnish)

Boyfriend-very serious voice:" Get that vegetable away from my mac and cheese."

(boyfriend dives into the pasta)

17 North Roadside Kitchen is our new favorite restaurant

~they grow their own veggies~

it's a seasonal and sustainable restaurant in my own backyard

and their patio is gorgeous

to the 19th Amendment 

The right of citizens of the United States

It's kinda crazy that women have been able to vote

Where is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi when you need him

They say that snakes are more scared of you 

than you are of them

Stiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe. Lita Ford

Shoes are the icing to my outfits

I'm not very into jewelry 

~other than a lovely pair of freshwater pearl earrings that go with everything~

(but if anyone wants to give me jewelry its ok by me)

 *Shoes are my go-to accessory* 

My newest pair of shoes are aching to go out

and put a dent on this town

and an ache in my step

they are positively wicked

How have I never seen this show before-

(via)

~Netflix has done it again~

Veronica Mars is a fantastic show

it's a little bit Nancy Drew

and a little bit Charlie's Angels

How could it be better?

*I am obsessed*

When I was a kid

Nancy Drew was my favorite fictional heroine

-she still kind of is-

When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses. ~Joyce Brothers

There is nothing better

than a 

*Family visit*

Happy Farmers Market Week!

the Shuler Peach Co. 

I have an abnormal love for farmers markets

and flea markets

*just add "market" to the name and I am there*

               

The Mount Pleasant Farmers Market

is held on Tuesday afternoons

*when its extra hot and sticky*

the town was nice enough to build us

a very nice new facility 

the produce is local

*fresh*

and very tasty

~Johns Island has some great organic farms~

a bonus to living on the coast

is our farmers market always

*has fresh caught seafood as well*

I enjoy afternoons eating crepes

picking out fresh produce

drinking fresh squeezed lemonaide 

could a summer afternoon be sweeter?

*Lulu loves it too*

she would be a Leo.

         Happy Birthday Martha
