Summer Solstice

You know what this means, right? THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ARE OFFICIALLY HERE.
Look for me on my throne.
Contemplating the deeper things. Like what kind of table should go here?
And is it okay to mix Mexican and Moroccan decor?
And maybe I should've grabbed a couple more of these blankets? Or a larger one?

And most importantly, how to squish myself into that far corner to get the most of the late day sun.  

But for now I must go indulge in mid-afternoon job abandonment.

  1. Your throne is heavenly, and it's totally cool in my book to mix Mexican and Moroccan–they both start with M, after all!

  3. Carrie, this makes me want to do nothing more than jet down to Long Beach and sit on your deck with you over several margaritas. You look adorable in your summery dress. Hope I get to see you in the warm months!

  6. Move on over my friend, because I want to park my expanding bum right next to you there, I can regale you with my woes of no shopping, what I intend to splurge on soon and how my sorry body aches and moans, and I might need you to give me a hand up, but at the very least, Im good for a laugh!

    It's ok if I show up at your door so we can toss back some margs on the Moroccan/Mexican deck, right? Worst day ever over here.

    PS - I can bring the tequila.

  22. Your set-up looks great! If I lived near you I would definitely show up with a pitcher of margaritas... Maybe a low coffee table to go with the sitting-on-moroccan-poufs-theme? Or a cluster of smaller tables that could be used as additional seating when necessary? But something round to prevent bruised shins...especially useful after the aforementioned marg's are consumed :)
