As soon as my University work obligations are done later this afternoon, I'm planning on spending the whole weekend celebrating my birthday.
I started early by treating myself to this vintage-inspired picnic basket from World Market.
Sandy (521 Lake Street) featured it on her blog last week and it just had to come home with me. Thanks for the tip, Sandy!
As long as the mosquitoes don't carry us away, we are planning to do a bit of landscaping around the gnome house that Chris has been working on this week.
I promise to share the big reveal once the landscaping is complete. For now, here's a sneak peek of the miniature window boxes that Chris and I worked on Thursday evening. I dug up moss from woods and painted wooden knobs to look like toadstools.
A date night with Chris, visiting a few estate sales Saturday morning, attending the Allegan Antique market with my mom and sister on Sunday, finishing up a few more Western decorations for Josie's birthday and enjoying our local Memorial day parade (featuring Emma's marching band) is all on our weekend agenda.
Happy Memorial weekend, everyone!

Happy Happy Birthday Kim!
What a darling basket!
What fun that your husband works with you on some projects!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
Excited to see what you find and the finished Gnome house!
A happy, happy birthday to you! Already, your gnome house looks like it's going to be cute! Sounds like you have a great weekend planned.
We're going to attempt to go camping (first time with three kids!), then I hope to sneak away to do some antiquing in a nearby town tomorrow while the rest of the gang hangs out at the campsite. I figure since it's my birthday, I should get to go do something a little fun (not to say camping won't be fun, but it's going to be in the 80's, and who knows what we can expect from the kids...!!)
Sounds like a perfect (and busy) birthday weekend. Make the most of it and treat yourself like a birthday girl! Xo
Well that sounds like a Birthday Weekend that's jam-packed full of fun! And you deserve it!
Happy Birthday to you my friend!
Enjoy It!
