Yesterday was our 22nd wedding anniversary. When life slows down, we'll attempt a date-night.
We celebrated by attending Josie's Rock-n-Roll 50's 2nd grade musical.
I'm trying to convince her that this would be the perfect outfit for next year's Halloween party. Don't you love those cars? Reminds me of our
Route 66 trip from last summer.
My long time blog followers have known I've always had a thing for paper lanterns.
My craft room is filled with them.
I even have a few smaller ones in my bedroom on the fireplace mantle.
At a recent estate sale I happened to notice a metal basket filled with paper lanterns on the floor underneath a table.
The crate was filled with all sorts of different color and styles. As you can imagine, I rescued them all!
Hanging lanterns makes it an instant party, doesn't it? Happy Friday!
Sweet Josie looks adorable! That would make a great costume for Halloween but I'm guessing she would prefer something more with a cape and super hero powers :) Lanterns are so much fun. The colors and shapes suggest PARTY! You are so right! Have a great weekend and happy anniversary. I hope you get to celebrate! Maggie
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! doesn't the time fly! The years have been good to you. YOu both still look like teenagers! I hope you get that date night soon. Tony still owes me a night out from our anniversary that was in april... hmmm.... maybe I can get a date day out of him and drag him to the beach! (lol.. not going to happen.. he is not the beach kind of guy!) anyways.. love all the lanterns and have a great weekend my friend.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThe lanterns are truly paperlicious- too bad our new(ish) cat is a jumper/climber/destroyer: even hung up high he'd figure out a way to swat, bat and claw at them. :)

Happy Anniversary- we may be close in birthdays and age, but you've got me doubled for anniversaries- we're only at 11! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore those lanterns- I'm hanging some in Avery's room, but I'm not lucky enough to have any beautiful vintage ones- I had to buy new ones from the party store!
