LONDON

I have decided to share a few of my favorite things from London.

So, naturally the first being beautifully styled ladies and gents. Even the three years olds were better dressed than I was on any given day. You would never see Nike shorts or wranglers, cut off jeans or Sperry's, Costa Del Mar's or cowboy boots

I could go on...

Goodness the world would be a better place without most of that nonsense. I mean, I can rock some cut off jean shorts every once in a while, but other than that every Londoner was either straight classy, or beautiful vintage. I can hope!

Picnic Time

It is finally time to rummage through your grandmothers closet for the perfect knit quilt.

Yes my friends, it is picnic season.

1. Croquet Set 2. photo 3. Picnic Inspired headband

4. red dress 5. Green Central Station 6. picnic basket

Here in Alabama we have a good three weeks of perfect.sunny.70 degree weather to enjoy a little croquet, or mimosas with strawberries, and of course your favorite picnic basket or two before the weather turns sour.

...and by sour I mean unbearably hot.

These past couple of weekends I was able to relax

at a few of my favorite parks in Birmingham with a few of my favorite friends.

Weekend 1

Green Central Station

A shop in Birmingham that rents every imaginable type of picnic supplies.

On top of that, hosts 2nd Sunday Picnic @ Rushton Park on Highland every month.

The owner brings out croquet sets, bat-gamin, picnic tables, and plenty of yummy treats.

Vintage revamped bikes are also sold at the shop. Check it out.

You will not be disappointed.

Weekend 2

Railroad Park.

This particular visit we met up with a handful of friends,

and began plotting for our community field day.

Accompanied of course by mimosas and fresh fruit.

I am talking about balloons. picking teams. potato sack races. parachutes.

the works!

Where do you like to picnic?

DOO NANNY

quite a unique experience Doo Nanny, there is nothing quite like it.
portable bike powered showers, communal kitchens, art cars, bones, junk and metal, banjos, girl scout cookies and one killer camp fire pretty much sums up the weekend. The rain simply made everything better, and it turns out we got some use out of the three pairs of yellow sailor rain suits compliments of Bonadio! Check out some photos. this kind of place just makes you want to come home and make stuff. i can't wait to go back, next year. prepared with a craft booth! enjoy.
