I think those shoes are going to be very snazzy for the wedding. Just perfect. And the jeans are really cute, too.

Enjoyed going to Emily's party with you and hearing all about what is going on in your life. Things here are quiet with the exception of workmen. Need I say more?

I love that your husband had to go play with his new toy. Sounds like Mr. Magpie.

XO,

Sheila

A single girl weekend sounds wonderful! I can't believe all the things your daughter has been going through. One thing after another. I think it's a sign that come the day of the wedding, nothing but good times! I love the shoes you got. Very pretty!

Hi dear Jane,

LOVED this. Could just see you dancin in your kitchen as you worked.

My girlfriends from high school will arrive for a six girl sleepover on the weekend of May 17th. Old friends are treasures, as are you!

Love,

I always enjoy your posts so much! I agree with you...we all need time alone. I had an entire week recently, and I did NOT turn the stove on!! I was ready for the hubby to get back home though. He had gone to the lake to work in the yards, and I had to stay here to help Pam with getting Rheagan to school. Anyway, I was glad for him to walk in the door. Sounds like Emily is taking everything in stride. I know the date is getting closer, so you two have all the fun you can, and keep us posted! Talk to ya!

So happy you are having beautiful weather. We, too, are having a glorious spring. Love the new shoes. Do we get a peek at the purse? '-) A girl's weekend is always fun, but then you get to have fun with your darling daughters all the time. Love seeing your garden. I've been MIA from visiting and commenting because I've had my head in the dirt. Gardening for weeks now.......Sarah

Sometimes it's such a treat to have the house to oneself - to have control of the TV remote, to read in bed, to watch something different on TV - but it's so good to welcome your other half home at the end of it!

Gorgeous shoes! Sounds like you all had fun, living the single girl life at the party.
I do love a margarita but only ever drink them when we're on vacation in the US, I wonder why? The SP is cooking Mexican tonight maybe I'll mix up a jug of margarita's to go with the food.
Have a great week, dear friend.

Hi Janie... as always, I love lingering over your posts... sounds like you had a great single weekend... I love Jack to pieces, but really LOVE some days or nights all by myself... I love that you danced to your favorite music!... I still put the Beach Boys on and dance around like I was 16 years old again on the beach at La Jolla!... tee hee hee... keeps us young... I will never get old... Emily's party sounds like so much fun, and you both look beautiful!... sorry she has had so many things happen lately, but it sounds like she is one strong lady which is great!... your shoes for the wedding are just stunning!... and now I want some floral jeans... much love to you, xoxo Julie Marie

Sounds like fun and I bet you are becoming more at ease getting ready for the big day! So glad Emily found her diamond!!! How scary that must have been! I hope they secure it well enough this time yikes!

Love the shoes and I am in love with those pastel floral jeans!! I would love a pair myself!

Blogger Sue said...

It sounds as if things are moving fast at your house. I love your shoes...heels of any kind kill me these days, so I'm glad our wedding will be beachy and maybe I can get through it with flat sandals or barefoot!

Something similar happened to my ring before my wedding. The jeweler left it in the cleaning solution and forgot about it...it turned black! They had to send it away and do something to it (it was white gold) and I got it back just days before the wedding. It all comes together somehow!

You had a nice weekend? Ours was awful, cold, gray and raining all weekend long. Today is going to be 84 and is gorgeous but the rain comes back tomorrow night and temps drop 20+ degrees...supposed to rain all through the weekend.

I love the shoes! Sounds like they'll go perfectly with your dress. I didn't know your home was built in the 1930's, that's so neat! I love older homes. Glad you enjoyed your "single" weekend. :)

Your shoes are sooo cute, Jane!!!
and I LOVE your floral jeans!!! I tried some on at Kohls, and loved them!
Sounds like you had a great weekend.
Having a single girl's weekend is fun. It's also fun when your hubby returns, isn't it.
You sound happy....

Looks like the details are coming together. So sorry to hear about all the irritations happening for your girl. Weddings and their details can be so exhausting. Also, I'm a single girl usually 4 days a week and let me tell you, I HATE to cook for just myself. I'm fairly happy with cheese and crackers.

Hugs,

I love your shoes, very cute, Janie. Your flowers are very pretty too. I hope Emily does not get any more accidents no matter how minor. That will make me nervous. Tell her to take special care of herself....Christine

Sounds like you're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the wedding preparations. Hopefully, all of the bad luck your daughter has been having will be behind her and she can focus on her exciting upcoming wedding! My husband just got back from being out of town too. He went camping up in the Smoky Mountains in TN and did some fishing with a friend. Guys have to have their hobbies too!

Oh, I LOVE those white tulips! I actually went to our Kroger the other day looking for some, and they didn't have any left of any color. I am just going to admire yours!

Omigoodness, I can't believe all that your daughter is experiencing. She must have about died when she realized her diamond was missing, but how lucky she found it. So much trauma always seems to surround a wedding, and I think there's great relief for everyone when it's over.
I like those times when I'm home alone. I wouldn't want it to be permanent, but it's great to be in my own space doing whatever.

I remember those days of the weddings SO well. They are precious memories..and now my daughters are going through it with their daughters...my granddaughters. I have all the fun of no work, just watching them enjoy..AND stress out! :):)
Have fun Jane. I LOVE the shoes..AND the tulips..but I REALLY love the print of those pants more than anything!!

Blogger Michelle, All Home and Love said...

Hi Jane!
I love the heels and the jeans! I know what you mean about walking in the heels though, I'm terrible at it so I go for the lower ones too.

It's great she can take that all in stride, that's so much going on at once!

The collar Sebastian was wearing is for our wedding shop on Etsy. I thought it would be cute for a dog collar that says "I do too" so the bride can take some pictures with her dog and include them in the day. We will see if anyone else likes the idea too, *fingers crossed* that they sell. :)

Hope you are having a beautiful weekend. It's gorgeous here in PA, the sun is shining!

Love the shoes! They will be perfect. The jeans are really neat too! I'm loving all the bright colors now ~ just not buying any clothes. I'm working on weeding out and getting rid of "stuff" before I move.

Glad you had a great weekend and the shower was fun! She really is having some challenges isn't she? Not good but she seems to be such a trooper! Also, gorgeous ~
