Domestic

These past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying my best to soak in the last weeks of summer.  Here were some of the highlights…

Enjoying the harvest party at Black Ridge Vineyards – tons of yummy BBQ, great wines and some dancing (to work off said BBQ/wine).

 Soaking in some last minute summer food inspiration

Lusting over these sparkly details

Enjoying an alfresco happy hour with some of my favorite things – margs, guac & fun shades

 Sorry for the delay… but a BIG congratulations to Cindy DeGroodt and Ashley Heidbrink our winners of $100 Minted gift certificate!!  I’ll email you both details… congrats!

Everyone else – make sure to check out their gorgeous prints, stationary and paper goods to help you ease into the school year!
