End of Summer Lovin'

I hope that you all had a lovely holiday weekend! Ours was great, even though we began on the wrong foot. Labor Day Weekend started out for us with a broken down car in a massive thunderstorm... $600 later and a not-so-happy-me resulted in the need for a little (inexpensive) retail therapy.

Some thrifting was just what the doctor ordered. So, my husband and I packed up the car and headed out to a couple of flea markets. I found some items that I have been pining after for a while now! Another aqua mason jar to add to my collection (tip: I added flameless votive candles to these so that I could keep the rustic silver tops on), some vintage kitchen tools (an egg beater and an ice cream scooper) and an old and weathered coca-cola crate. Some fabulous finds and a road trip with Jake lifted my spirits!

On Labor Day we had a family BBQ. My dad (Rick) smoked a pork shoulder for 8hrs and grilled some mouth watering ribs. We were all in meat induced comas for the remainder of the day. Beware: food porn photos to follow...

It was a great weekend filled with delish food and family. I'm ending this photo-filled post with just one more pic (because I couldn't resist), our niece (Adelaide) during our family BBQ.
