Rustic Table, Here Comes the Guide; Sunflowers, Brides
Signing off for Labor Day weekend! But not without party inspiration, of course… summer can’t slip away without a proper send-off! Here’s how I plan to celebrate…
Invite friends to stay up late one more time before early sunsets send us indoors on chilly fall evenings. Bouquets of sunflowers evoke a late summer harvest and are a joyful burst of color against a simple linens.
Grilled Chicken with Lemon & Oregano and Spicy Corn, Martha Stewart
Fire up the barbeque grill and serve a simple, seasonal menu. I’m making this Grilled Chicken with Lemon & Oregano, & Spicy Corn with Lime & Chili Powder.
Lemonade, Kristi Schiffman Photography
I’ll make one last batch of refreshing lemonade, which to me is the essence of summer. But how to decide between this gorgeous Lavender-Infused Lemonade, or this more grown-up Vodka-Thyme Lemonade? I suppose a pitcher of both will quench everyone’s thirst.
Picnic, Sam McAdam; Cherries, Kristi Schiffman
Sure, I’ll set a lovely table… but nothing beats a carefree holiday like reclining in the grass over a picnic. Savor the last lazy days of summer with the fresh-picked taste of ripe cherries.
Sailboat, Philip Newton
When I drift off into my Labor Day afternoon nap, I’ll be dreaming of spending the weekend on the open seas underneath these gorgeous white sails. Happy Weekend!
