Sunday Fun Outfit of the Week Travel & Salads

Hi Everyone, Happy Sunday.  It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day for more packing and moving!  Lucky for us our son and daughter in law are helping us all weekend.  We are so fortunate to have their help.  They took an entire trailer-load of boxes to the new house.  Let’s join Mary Ann and Annie for our Sunday fun!  This week I have a Sunday Fun Outfit of the Week Travel & Salads.

CROWDED KITCHEN WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS

As soon as I spotted this white bean salad on Pinterest I knew I had to make it.  Steve and I are salad maniacs.  Many evenings we eat salad only for dinner and love it. I am serving this tonite.  I will add grilled chicken to make it a meal.

Outfit of the Week

After much ado, I decided to leave the OFOTW right here where it started.  Mary Ann and Annie are going to join in as well so it will be even more fun for all. This is a fun one this week.  Thanks to Elizabeth from Pinecones and Acorns I discovered Farm Rio. If you like colorful artistic clothes, you are going to love their site.  There are also some great Etsy items including the raffia purse and hat from this small shop in France. Their items are reasonably priced and look a lot like those from a famous Australian company.  All items are linked below.

FARM RIO OUTFIT OF THE WEEK

I did a second iteration of the above with a less expensive, and not quite as wild and crazy with a pretty Anthro shirt replacing the Farm Rio shirt.  I like it just as well. The glasses are from a company new to me Diff Eyewear. They have a promo going on right now.  Buy one get one free.  They have so many great styles of prescription and non.  I have been searching for an interesting pair of light tortoise (which complements the gray hair more!).  They had me at the name, this pair is called Summer.

    Hi Cindy,
    Help from your kids is great. It’s so nice to have assistance with a move, particularly when you’ve pared down and are moving from a home you’ve lived in and enjoyed for many years.
    I always enjoy your sourcing for us, finding some great look-alike buys where fashion is concerned.
    Have a good week.
    xo,
    Karen

    Lovely post thank you Cindy! I ordered the bracelet as it is so me and you made me laugh about the Australian designer as l know exactly who you mean! And the salad is gorgeous looking and fresh; so wonderful way to start the da, thank you. Love small gardens; in my mother’s village in Dorset there are many turn of the century stone cottages and the “front patch” on view from the street is always a fantastic place to look for ideas.

      I am so drawn to small gardens for many reasons , the most important being time management. I am so looking forward to seeing how you deal with your new home with “Before and After” as you are so talented not just in interiors but gardens as well. It is an exciting adventure that you are embarking on and all of us are anxious to see how it plays out. Wherever you go Cindy it will be …..beautiful!
