Cool Summer ideas highlights
I have been wanting to put together a beautiful picnic by the lake and these ideas from A life unfolding have me craving it even more! So many fabulous ideas on how to make your picnics amazing! Make sure to pop over to see all the different ways to hold a picnic.
You all know how much I love sea shells. I use them in my decor and in my tablescapes. Common ground shares lots of great ideas that I need to incorporate into my home!
Some people are just so creative and South House designs takes the cake with this idea! Creating a swing out of a satellite dish!! How cool is this and perfect for summer!
It looks amazing!
I don’t know about you but so far we have the best watermelons this summer! I am so excited to try this easy watermelon salsa recipe from 3 boys and a dog.
Cucumbers, red onion, mint and cilantro! YUM!!
Karins Kottage Happenings
Last week we had some friends come to stay for a few day and we had a blast!
We played pickle ball, headed up to park city and went on a bike ride, paddle boarded, went to a car show and the farmer’s market!
Our friend Kelly did amazing for her first time paddle boarding! It was like she had been doing it all her life!
My hubby has to do his yearly head stand on the paddle board!
Not bad for a 60 year old!
Our community hosts summer concerts all through out the summer on Fri and Sat nights. It is one of our favorite things to do. This band called the Ryan Shupe and the Rubber band is so entertaining!
Our little farmers market in our neighborhood is so fun to go to. There are a lot of craft booths but there are some fruits and vegetables stands as well.
We bought some yummy rainier cherries and they were so good!
