the 6th photo & 3 tags - Nest of Posies

Photo Tag:

This photo via Martha was my 6th photo I published on my blog. I believe the caption was something like,

“Wanted: one large wicker or picnic basket any color will do.”

For the record, I’m still hunting for a large basket.

My friend Sixty-Fifth Avenue tagged me for this blog game. I am so glad she did! Looking at this pic yet again a year and a half later, it reminds me just how much I would love to find a large basket!

Aren’t the wheels pure genius?

My cousin Maegan, from A Little Green Birdhouse tagged me to post
7 fun facts about me
&
Mother of two boys tagged me as well to post
things that make me HAPPY.

{just so I wont bore you all in a post that is all about me…I thought I would combine these two tags to make it hopefully interesting & not so long)
so here goes:

1. Sunshine! I can handle almost anything on a bright sunny day!

{Chief & Graham this past weekend via camera phone}

2. Coffee & sweets.

3. In my life before kids, I probably wardrobed over 200+ women for their Kentucky Derby outfit and have wardrobed a dozen or so for meetings/dinners at the White House among other events ;).

4. Going along with #3…back in the day I used to be able to give good beauty/wardrobe advice. (I know, sounds like I’m bragging here…) but it was my job for many years & I loved it (at times!) I could tell you what size you were, recommend the right colors, what style looked best, give you the most bang for your buck in fashion…but not.any.more. I’m so far away & out of touch with that world now. It’s a good thing though!

5. Give me any kind of carbohydrate – and I’ll love you forever!

6. Outside of the home & being with my kids *which you all know I love & adore – right?* I wish I could be on the beach. At least every other day I think about my favorite spot on my favorite beach!

7. If money & prep time were no object ~ I would have an outdoor party once a week during Spring, Summer, & Fall! I love a dinner, party, convo – anything outdoors.

Lastly ~ can you believe I finally won a blog giveaway???
I did! I did!
AND it was from yet again, Mother of two boys!
In different light it looks like a citron green or emerald color. I love it!
I wasn’t about to model it with the unkept hands & nails, but the ring is a beauty!

I’m suppose to tag people back with all these fun tag games. Since I posted a few tags in this post, YOU DECIDE which one you’d like to do & link back or let me know! I have always enjoyed reading tags from other blogs, so hopefully this wasn’t too boring for you all!
