Ahoy Mates!

I'm so excited to have found Nautical by Nature blog by Kate,
filled with anything shore-inspired a girl could want.
Now, I can't stop thinking of the warmer days ahead
and summer on the boat.

Check it out at http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/

Here's how my daydream is going.....

I grab my bag...

and a couple of the kids (dressed appropriately, of course!)...

and we're off!

SOS!! We need refreshments!
No worries, I always roll with a bottle of Chardonnay.
Check out my glass.

And I always use a coaster!

When it gets chilly we wrap up in a cozy blanket.

Ahhh. I can't wait for summer!!!!

Walk down the aisle Newport style ...

One of my closest friends is getting married this summer and asked for my help in planning. She wants an outdoor reception a la Jackie Kennedy ... well, who wouldn't?!!! So, in my quest for new ideas and inspirational sources for putting on such a soiree, I came across Newport Event Planner Nancy Swiezy's blog www.anewportaffaire.blogspot.com.

With bits of inspiration - old and new -

and great tips and advice for any type of party,

you won't want to miss out on this one!

With all these new ideas, the wedding's going to be a blast! Until now, the only thing I had down was the gift for the groomsmen ... Nautical Monogram Note Cards, available at http://www.muffywritesanote.com/Everyday-Occasions/Personal-Stationery/Nautical-Monogram-Note-Card-p171.html
