Five Things
{Pixy Stix for a nostalgia candy display}
Memorial weekend in my mind is the official start to summer. This weekend will be filled with plenty of backyard barbeques, including the intimate one my parents are having that I have given an \”old time\” theme. Spending time at the beach soaking up the rays, and of course plenty of indulgences. What are your plans this weekend?
{The amazing cookie plate from my great aunt when she returned dishes}
I was always taught that when you return someone\’s dishes that you have, you should always fill them with goodies prior to the return. What are your thoughts on this? Do you do the same?

{current favorite spa water: lemon, raspberry and lemon balm leafs}
Fashion meets Food 
I totally abide by the fill the empty dishes with delicious goodies rule. I love doing it and I love receiving it! That spa water looks so good! I'll have to endulge in some of that tomorrow when I head to the spa for a tub soak in their 360-degree view tower and a hair cut.Loving the purple nail color – reminds me of my favorite flower… lilacs.I NEED to see a complete picture of what the old fashioned candy buffet ended up looking like. Can't wait.I hope you have a great holiday weekend. Enjoy the beach!

Well since it's usually my dishes that are being returned, I'd love it if they were filled with goodies. I'll have to remember to do that next time I have one for someone else.
