Thankfully the weather is supposed to be sunny, warm and wonderful after days and days of torrential rains so no complaints! I will, as always try to capture some of the highlights and share them with you next week. Today is just a bunch of fun randomness and I am really glad I had worked on this last week and have it ready to go minus a little tweaking. Hope you are doing well and wishing all the Fathers out there a very happy and relaxing Fathers Day! Here we go....
Table manners! Thought this was rather nifty as we can all use a refresher course here and there on table settings and what to put where, don't you think?
Blue and white anything! You know I love it, one of my favorite summer looks is a pair of white pants, a white t and a great scarf. I have tons of scarves and wear them year round. How great is this one! I love it no matter the price but how about if I told you its $14.00 at Tarjay? Yep! to grab one.....
Chinoiserie......Can you believe this is melamine? I am in love! I love the bamboo detailing and don't even get me started on the chinoiserie and then that its blue and white just slays it out of the park! Gorgeous, right? If I didn't' have my own set from my own shop (which I also love and it does work so well on my patio) I would be all over this. If you want to see it, go to Newportstyle.net......
The Hamptons! The gorgeous Hamptons, one of my favorite places especially off season or during the week. The traffic on weekends is craaaazy and really frustrating but it's always a beautiful picturesque place to visit traffic or no traffic. More pictures from my jaunt there last week that I wanted to share..........
A windmill is a sure sign you are in the Hamptons!
The beautiful pond leading into East Hampton.......
Signs of Americana are everywhere and just add to the charm
The Perfect house again......it really is perfect!
The newest full service luxury hotel, Topping Rose House.....heard it's gorgeous!

And then I hit one of my favorite farmstands and my camera got a workout...what is it about photographing fruits and veges that so excites me? Please tell me I am not alone!
There they are again? Aren't they stunning? And sooo fragrant too!
I love green and white together, so crisp and elegant......
A great new recipe. I always try to experiment and add at least one new dish (if not more) when I have any kind of gathering. I like expanding and trying new things. This one is a total winner! A heavenly Spinach, Feta, Roasted bell pepper Greek salad. Made it for my lunch and it was divine!!!!! I was so happy I made a lot because the leftovers were so good the next day, but didn't last much beyond that! I found this recipe from Instructables. for the recipe!
Topiaries. Love them! Back at home, I planted some new topiaries in some small blue and white containers and put them in my kitchen. Take a look.....
Shop news. Lo and behold I found another 3 pair of the very popular white Staffordshire dogs! Anyone who wants them, just email me here. I know several had and I didn't have anymore, so these three pair are up for grabs. Email me directly here as they are no longer on the shop site.
Also I get people asking here and there about the darling Staffordshire dog lamps that I have featured a while back, yes they are for sale and do come in blue and black. People seem to have a hard time finding them, they are under new arrivals but I will soon have to move them to lamps (duh)!. to see them....
And.....finally two long anticipated items (both heirloom quality have arrived! These wonderful chargers are finally here. Literally just unloaded and my first orders will be shipping out on Monday. They are so exquisite. They will be on my online shop by Monday or can email me here if you want to purchase them.
