Week in Review – hot summer, cool house & living jewelry

104*

In the shade.

Is it any wonder that I am feeling ready for summer?

And guess what I was doing a lot of this week? Gardening for a client! Geez it was hot, but you see, there is a special party tonight!

I was asked to make 4 of my succulent dish gardens for a few tables. Then the project grew, like a good garden project should.

With that start & the heat, we opted for succulents, natives and some New Zealand Flax for height.

Do you like the strappy flax? I do…

Lots of people say succulents are growing on them these days. What if they were really growing on you? If you shop at Passion Flower to Wear @Etsy the succulents will do just that. Handmade rings, bracelets & necklaces crafted from tiny live plants!

I thought it was just me who was feeling the sand between my toes, then my friend Yvonne @ StoneGable busts out with the most beautiful post on summertime. From corn on the cob to flags on parade, Yvonne highlights all the goodness of summer.

Definitely Pin worthy photos that will put you right in the groove. Go see!

Stepping out of the heat into this Beverly Hills home would be like a cool drink of water. Which it was to me, when I had the chance to visit this week & snatch a a few photos.

See those chairs? Made from wash line rope looped around a metal chair frame. I told you so cool…earthy & modern. So different from MSH, but I really could have moved in.

Anyone who refers to themselves as a “wild woman” sparks my interest. Yours too I bet…

In keeping with our theme, how about a Pinterest Board called “The Succulent Wild Woman”! Interested? I am… Check it out on Pinterest, as the board is this week’s Pinterest Board of Interest. If succulents are growing on you literally or figuratively click to follow!

Not only is the temperature on the rise, but it is Friday. Did I mention a cool drink of water…well, hold the water and give me one of these.

I do like a bit of bourbon now & again. It is all that Southern in me ~ Southampton, South of Houston (SoHo), Southern California & my parents do live in Georgia.

Cheers my friends!

Have a wonderful weekend,
