Hello there. I am fully ready for summer with my red swimsuit, favorite pool towels and homemade margarita mix.

This weekend is really special for me because Collin and his whole family are coming to stay with us. After working together on ABM projects for almost six years, we became really close friends.

1. Just picked up this book and I’m so excited to read it!! My summer reading list is growing and growing. I would love to hear your summer reading suggestions!

The main categories I am into are fantasy, dystopian, and realistic fiction (but open to pretty much anything if you LOVE it). Also, I like sad stories.

2. Our daughter is turning 7 next month (I know, I know) and she asked for a DOLLY PARTON-themed birthday. If you have any cute ideas I’d love to hear. So far, the only thing I’ve done is buy this cookie cutter. (OPE!)

3. I got this phone case and it’s super cute and arrived really fast.

4. Obsessed with this simple grid pattern moroccan rug.

5. The next dress on my shopping list.

6. I’m very jealous of Emma’s puzzle table.

7. When I redecorate my kids room (well, one of them has never been decorated, so it’s not really a “re”), I want to go more unique next time. Loving this Etsy rug!

8. Love love love this unique take on a classic children’s story. My kids love it, too.

9. The best shows I’ve seen so far in 2022 were Station Eleven and Severance. What have you liked lately?

10. Here’s a link to the green dress I’m wearing in the photo above. It has a low back, so I wear it with no bra and these Nippies (they work great and last a long time).

Because I know someone will ask, my fireplace tile is the color Rosemary from Fireclay Tile and the paint color is Meadow Sage by Sherwin Williams.

Hope you had a joyful weekend! xx- Elsie

P.S. Here’s a link to last week’s 10 Things Sunday in case you missed it!
