It's Friday. I'm in Love.

(Sarah Jane's Studio)

I saw this post yesterday, and  I was instantly taken back to my childhood, growing up in small-town Virginia. Traveling to the theatre in nearby towns  for the latest production of Snow White or The Nutcracker. Living every moment of summer break to the fullest. Having an imagination bursting with ideas.

So today, I'm in love with my inner-child. Let's take a little stroll down memory lane.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you remember....

Telling secrets and making pinky promises...

Thinking that dessert was the only food group...

Promising to be best friends forever...

Wishing that summer would last forever...

Imagining that you could actually grow your own beanstalk, just like Jack...

Being a Disney princess or fairy everyday, complete with crown or wand...

Playing endless games of hide-and-seek...

Dressing up in your mom's hats and shoes...

Seeing how high you could swing...
(This one's for my Bumpkin)
 

Believing that red sparkly shoes could take you anywhere in the world...

Having dreams as big as the sky...

What are some things you remember loving about your childhood?

Happy Friday, love bugs!

Pink & Green Thursday: P is for Pink Bridal Shower

Happy Pink and Green Thursday, lovies!!

I came across this gorgeous bridal shower last week while browsing a favorite wedding blog of mine,
Green Wedding Shoes.

They feature the most unique, beautiful wedding and engagement photos ever! You must go visit and stalk like I do!

Anyway, when I spotted this amazing "L is for..." themed bridal shower I just knew that I had to feature it on Pink and Green Thursday, and I prayed no other bloggers would do a post about it! I know, that was kind of selfish, what can I say?

I simply fell head over heels for this little soiree! Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~

Upon doing some investigating I found out that the shower was thrown for Leila Khalil of the beautiful wedding blog Inspired By This. The shower was organized by two of her friends in
Los Angeles, and they didn't let any detail go unnoticed!

Each guest wrote 'L is for love' notes for the bride-to-be. What a lovely, unique guest book idea!

These are Leila's beautiful peony-motif invitations. I just think they are so feminine and romantic.

This gorgeous couch came in the space where the shower was held. Can you imagine lounging on it while drinking pretty cocktails?! Like these....

Guests sipped on these lovely cocktails featuring yummy grapefruit and peach flavors- my favorites!

This beautiful food spread is highlighted by the 'Leila Loves Tony' banner and a framed L initial.

What a yummy dessert spread! It almost looks too good to eat....no, I'm pretty sure I would have been licking my fingers from eating those little cupcakes!

***

Look at all the heavenly details....

'L is for lifetime...'

One of the most charming parts of the shower was the scent bar. One of the hostesses had a company that does custom perfume creations set up at the shower, and each guests got to take home their own scent as a shower favor!
