The end of a long weekend is here.
I had the house, and the day, to myself.
As nice as it was,
bordom did sneak up on me.

After a couple hours in the pool,
I felt like getting a little crafty.
So I made my backyard
a little bit of pretty.

I gathered
construction paper, string
and my puppy too.

As dusk settled in
so did my hunger.
Made my mom’s mac & cheese
with fried okra
and dinner cupcakes
(corn bread, mashed potatoes, & bacon sprinkles).
This was a last minute idea
that is already a new favorite.

The lovely day came to a close
with a rainbow!

The rest of my holiday weekend in photos:

Fireworks on Dickson.

Vintage shopping.

More swimming.

Fair food.

Sparkers.

Girl time.

Real cupcakes too.

And turning this floor length
vintage dress into a mini.

Hope everyone had the best
4th of July weekend ever.
