Spring Table with Charleston Stems

A spring table thrown together with Charleston Stems. I love this table cloth from Roberta Roller Rabbit, I have them in several colors and they are always a hit with guests. Here the pattern plays second fiddle to Anne's brilliant flowers. As you can see, the cake didn't make it past the first photo - we have learned to keep our sugars up when crafting :).

Summer in France

Last summer, I collaborated with Charleston Stems in the South of France to throw a summer dinner party the celebrates the best of outdoor entertaining European style.  As I lounged in the sun, cooled by the afternoon breeze and bathed ahead of a grueling photoshoot, Anne and her husband Dave pilfered the mountainside for wild eucalyptus, plundered the olive grove on the property, and scoured the region's finest markets for flowers and produce to adorn the grand teak table on the marble terrace.  The result is my favorite table of all time xx

Little Palm Island!

Will & I took a sneaky few days off before a shoot in Miami to celebrate our babymoon at Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys.  It was absolute heaven, we spent our days kayaking through the mangroves, lounging by the pool, spotting local wildlife and playing too many competitive games of cards.  

One of the most amazing things about the resort is how many key deer are on the property.  I was crossing my fingers that we would see one while visiting and was not disappointed. One evening Will & I took a walk, most guests must have been tucked away in their private cabins preparing for the evening and the deer had really come out to play, we saw at least fifteen of them enjoying all of the trappings of luxury resort living.

Little Palm Island was i-phone heaven, I couldn't stop snapping away!

We had our own little lounge area outside our front door which included a hot tub and private fire pit, we spent our evenings relaxing under the stars! Can't wait to go back! xx
