The Gasparilla Inn and Club

Dale and I had the BEST whirlwind trip to Boca Grande, Florida last weekend to celebrate our friends Adam and Alex! They were married in a private ceremony on the island in 2020 and we were so grateful to be there on their one year anniversary to fully celebrate at the beautiful Gasparilla Inn & Club.

As soon as we arrived we headed to the Beach Club to enjoy the pool and ocean before the evening festivities. For breakfast we walked to a bakery down the street before spending a few more hours in the sunshine before our flight home. I loved learning about the club’s history, we hope to be back soon!

May Around The Web

May is coming to a close and it’s really starting to feel like Summer! This month we celebrated the wedding of our friends Austin and Ali, had time with family for Mother’s Day, I hosted a bridal shower for Sophie with my sister Grace, Dale’s brother was finally able to visit from Chicago, and I ended the month in Scottsdale for Sophie’s bachelorette weekend! It has been SO nice to see friends and family and finally celebrate after everything that 2020 brought. Around the web I’ve especially been loving everything interiors:

• Have you seen this bedroom tour on Wit & Delight??

• This month we tried Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Vodka Pasta and it lived up to the hype!

• Fun list of “Things to say yes to”

• My love for flowers fully extends to this lovely map

• An interesting read about this moment in time

• Considering painting our small covered porch with a blue/white variation of this tutorial

• Fun to see the evolution of Julia’s girls’ rooms!

• Are you into the oversized collar trend?

• I’m on the waitlist for this hat!

• I might be the last one to the party but I really enjoyed “This is A Robbery”

Bring on the Sunshine!

Peony Season 2021!

Peony season has arrived and I’m happy to report my peony bushes survived a freak snow, tons of heavy rain and now not only do I have these beautiful photos to remember them by but I’m also enjoying all the blooms around the house. Enjoy!

Sophie’s Bridal Shower

This past weekend Grace and I hosted a bridal shower for Sophie! It was the perfect day — complete with my lemon tower centerpiece, amazing desserts from André's and lots of love for the bride-to-be. Next up, our Bachelorette weekend in Scottsdale!

Redbuds & Dogwoods

I’m already missing all the dogwoods and redbud blooms around the neighborhood! These photos are special because the redbud flowers came from my grandparent’s tree that wasn’t doing well and had to be cut down. They planted a dogwood in its place so I included some dogwood blooms from our tree out front. For Mother’s Day we gifted her a framed Artifact Uprising print!

Lettering for Hallmark Gifts

I was so excited to see my lettering on these new Hallmark gifts, perfect for Mother’s Day or birthday! My font, Fieldnotes by Josh Scruggs, was used on the cutting board and mug.
