We are so glad you took the time to visit our Wishlists today! I’m up first …

On Sutton Place

1.) RECENTLY ON THE BLOG: I just finished updating and expanding my farmhouse series that’s available to OSP email subscribers. It’s all about how to add farmhouse style to your existing decor. Sign up for the series HERE.

2.) UPDATED RECIPES: delicious and easy peach cobbler, zero calorie and so refreshing mint lemonade, and perfect-for-summer basic baked beans (with a secret ingredient.)

3.) FAVORITE FINDS: this pillow cover is gorgeous, and since it’s reversible, you get two looks for the price of one! (Plus it’s on sale.) I just ran across this Etsy shop that sells the most beautiful farmhouse inspired fabric. This one is my favorite. I’m loving this nightstand, and this dresser. I am considering them for our master bedroom. You can’t go wrong with this beautifully simple white stoneware, and if you haven’t made homemade ice cream yet, you need to! (Here’s a yummy recipe.)

4.) FAVORITE QUOTE: “When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” ~Alexander Den Heijer

5.) INSPIRING THINGS: this Cape Cod cottage with the most amazing kitchen windows, this 1912 beautifully decorated Arts + Crafts home, a collection of really fun farmhouse kitchen ideas, and tour this warm and welcoming farmhouse in New England.

6.) At the end of every month, I send phone and computer screensavers to my email subscribers. They are calendars, and I’ll be sending out the August editions very soon, so if you are interested, but not on my list, just sign up HERE. They’re easy to download, and they make your devices functional and very pretty.

7.) WHAT I’M WATCHING: Ridley and Grantchester on PBS Masterpiece, the 2005 version of Pride + Prejudice and part one of season 2 of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Some repeats (all on Netflix) that I’ve watched more than once: The Dig, Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Lost Husband, The English Game, and Summerland. I wish I had more recommendations, but for now, this is it!

8.) Are you wishing that summer would slow down? Me too! The days are flying by and before we know it, we’ll be thinking about fall. I’m not there yet, but in the coming weeks, I’m going to slowly begin to share some early autumn inspiration. It will all be very simple, and easy on the budget. So stay tuned!

9.) Catch up on my latest handy Amazon finds HERE.

10.) That’s all I have for this week. Take care! XO

1). Last week, I shared 8 Fall Decorating Trends You Will Love, and another post, How To Decorate A Room With Classic And Trendy Decor, to help you mix trendy decor in your home. They were very popular! I’ve also posted a companion post to these called The Smart Girl’s Guide To Easy Fall Decorating, sharing a simple formula for less stress seasonal decorating. And how to use what you have in fresh ways! The three of these posts read together are like having a book with magic decorating tips and advice about an easier and prettier approach to fall decorating. I hope you will read them. ?

2. Last week I featured a Watermelon And Feta Salad With Mint And a Lime Balsamic Vinaigrette. This salad is so beautiful! You will get oohs and ahhs and yums too when you serve it! I think what makes this recipe AHH-MAZING is the delicious Lime Balsamic Vinaigrette. Even if you don’t make the salad, please give the vinaigrette a try! Use is on other salads, toss it in vegetables, pastas, rice and quinoa and it’s also delicious to marinade chicken and fish in. This recipe is a keeper! You might also like these super Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes, Beautiful Herb Butters, and our family’s favorite Chicken Taco Soup.
