Karena, What a wonderful book! I need a copy, We are in the middle of a big landscaping overhaul and while we have a ways to go, the back yard is starting to take shape. I'll need some inspiration to take the party outside soon!

Happy weekend! XOXO

I am always inspired with Mathew Meads work, so I am happy to hear about his new Backyard Style book! Our backyard is always my favorite place to entertain in the summer!

I can't believe it's only a week and a half until I get to meet you my cedar! I am so excited … I already even style my outfit today!

Until then
