Cupcakes and Cashmere

Play date

August 28th, 2009

Don’t you love when spontaneous ideas work out even better than you had imagined? The weather has been sweltering, so rather than hiding in our air conditioned apartment, my boyfriend and I headed outdoors. With a game of Scrabble and a bottle of wine, we spent the evening playing games and enjoying the late summer heat wave.

Pssst…I just added two large pink druzzy necklaces to my Esty shop here!

Scrabble love. Hmm… this was probably unintentional, but I’m really liking the black polish with your floral print dress.

There’s something about scrabble pieces in grass. Carefree! Love it.

How cute! My bf and I used to play scrabble all the time. Haven’t in a while, it is so much fun. We became addicted and even downloaded scrabble for our phones

Fantastic idea!! Taking advantage of those last summer days. Our summer is already over in Montreal- I started wearing sweaters and scarves a few days ago… which I really, really love, I’m such a fall girl!

I love board games in the evening. We keep a stash of good games on hand for when TV isn’t appealing

So sweet! I pretty much lay on the floor and whined about the heat. Your idea sounds much better.

that looks like a lot of fun, but knowing my hubz, we would have to relocate back inside after ten mintues. he doesn’t take well to the heat!

I love finding out that more and more people love Scrabble. I used to have Scrabble nights with my best friend and her brother, in very random places I might add . . like under a street lamp at the end of her driveway.
