Weekend View

Welcome to the Weekend View- this week is full of family and birthday fun, photo shoots and a peek at something coming soon.

Family Fun

We babysat some of our grand babies last week while their parents went out for a lunch date. Grand babies and summer seem to always involve popsicles, water fun and jumping on the trampoline. We are getting together to celebrate my oldest son’s birthday this weekend and I am betting those same things will be on repeat again.

Something Old

I have been working on a *little* project over here that involves all things festive. I’ll be sharing more soon but this snap just epitomizes the pretty little bits that have been happening.

Beautiful Hollyhocks

Our local farm stand had bunches of beautiful hollyhocks last week and my husband picked up a few of them. Beyond pretty! We have a scattering of them growing in our garden near the picket fence and they have been known to self seed and grow where they want to in our yard as well. They are a bit temperamental like hydrangeas- they were drooping within a day as you can see in the snap below. I cut them and seared them again and am hoping they are all perked up today. Would you like more info on Hollyhocks? Do you grow them?

Wandering

In this weeks wandering- It is all about fall inspiration.

Love this post about how to make your home smell like fall

Even though I am not enjoying bread at the moment – I think I may have to make this cinnamon roll bread one for family for a festive fall gathering.

Coming your way- pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins- a festive porch display that is perfect for all season long, beautiful autumn wreath ideas and more natural autumn decor with pumpkins. If you have any requests for decor ideas or anything else- would love to hear about it! Please drop me an email or leave a comment here.

Happy Saturday friends.
