Most people get a bit antsy when we start talking about how much money will be required to accomplish their interior design project.

You know I love hosting small dinner parties for friends and family, and when our wedding anniversary rolled around, I knew I wanted to celebrate with a handful of friends here at Teaselwood Farm. But I didn't have any good anniversary party ideas

See how we made our own modern farmhouse-style alternative to leaves and acorns!

 We're in that weird time in-between seasons - it's no longer quite the sunshine-y summertime, but it's not yet full-blown falling leaves, sweater weather fall.

It's that bittersweet time of year again - lazy summer days are coming to an end (although I for one feel like I've been working like crazy all summer long - no lazy days for me!) and back-to-school prep is in full swing.

There's nothing like a late summer picnic to squeeze the last bit of that kicked back feel out of the season. 

But say, "Nope!" to soggy sandwiches and cardboard-ish packaged cookies. Making the best foods to bring outside isn't just better tasting - it's a huge part of the experience. 

Are you enjoying summer where you live or is this the point in time when it's s sweltering that you've started pining away for an early fall?!
