a few reasons i love the summer

beer and sunshine

outdoor concerts

pink trees and sugar.

finished putting up my pink tree last night.

the boyf doesn't love it.but I love it. so he pretends to love it.

every ornament on it is vintage.

most of them belonged to my franternal grandmother.

Every time I look at the tree, I think of her.

She would love it!

my tree topper broke.

I found some cute vintage ones on etsy.

Anyone have any good ideas?

I also inherited this set of handmade Three Kings.

they like to hang out & drink 7 up.

p.s those wee gifts are wrapped in real gift wrap

my aunt makes these stars.

they look adorable with our stockings.

on a side note.

I ate LIFE cereal for dinner last night.

I realize this is probably an unhealthy amount of sugar.

22 days till Christmas!!
