Nothing says beach vacation like Daddy-O’s boiled (pronounced “baaald” around these parts) peanuts. The rest of us had leftover birthday cake. Why not?!?!
And after stuffing our gullets, we spent the day at the Cabana pool. It’s our favorite with little ones!
We spent the afternoon shopping around Rosemary. We were excited to find both the West Indies Market and the Farmer’s Market open.
And of course the littles insisted on our daily trip to Sugar Shak. Cookie was terribly taken by this light up candy filled light saber. His performance was something else…but ice cream won out in the end.
We dined at one of our Rosemary favorites, Summer Kitchen. The shrimp and scallops over gouda grits was outstanding!
And, while the adults finished up supper, the littles took off on their scooters. One of many things we adore about this small beach town!
I’m off to join the others on the porch for a glass of wine!

The sparkling pools are divine, the white sand and blue ocean is like… Read More

Skirted Table {Porch Projects}
When we first starting talking about the layout of the new porch, I immediately knew I wanted Honey to make me a long, skinny counter-height table to go under the window. It will be great to use as a buffet, bar and many other things! Honey used scrap wood to build the legs and a… Read More
Coffee Table Nautical Chart {Porch Projects}
Last June I fell in love with this coffee table at Savannah must-shop One Fish Two Fish. Retailing at just under two-thousand (eek) I knew then and there that I would recreate it one day. And the new porch was the perfect place! I could hardly believe my luck when I ran across the Morgan… Read More
