Five Things

June 22nd, 2012

{Vintage flamingo glasses}

Summer seems to be in full effect around the house – from new toys for the backyard (even though I’ve always been terrible at badminton) to festive glasses that’ll be ideal for refreshing drinks. I’ve been making an effort to finish work at a reasonable time this week and it’s been so nice being able to enjoy the last few of hours of daylight. Here are five things currently getting me excited for the warm months ahead.

{New backyard accessories}

{I’m not usually into magnets, but these were too cute to pass up}

{Mismatched bud vases that line the window}

{A table from last weekend’s bbq – gin punch + chocolate chip cookies}
