What a dream of a bed. I'm so envious!

ReplyDeleteThat bed looks fabulous as does that recipe. I agree with Dale.. it doesn't get any better than that. :)
Enjoying your blog :)

ReplyDeleteThis looks completely delicious! And those plates below are so pretty. One other thing I love about summer is outdoor showers. So refreshing.
ReplyDeleteabout the bed...I used to simply throw down a pad and some quilts right on the ground, that is, until last summer when I was picking up the bedding in the morning and found a SNAKE curled up under my pillow. Questions:
ReplyDeleteHow long had it been there? Did it crawl over me to get there? Don't I sleep with my hand/arm under my pillow?
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
HAHAHAH How about every night? Yummy! ;)
ReplyDeleteAhhh...what is better than sleeping outside? And showering outside, too! All things beachy:)
