POWW Faves and Where I've Been

Greetings!  Happy Saturday!  So, I told you all I was taking a break for a few days.  I was actually at the beach with my family.  We were spending time with Chris' family: my in-laws, Chris' brother and his fiance, and Chris' sister and her family.  Because there were so many of us on this trip, we rented an additional house on Seabrook Island in addition the the family house here.  Unfortunately, the internet password at the rental we were staying at did not work, so I was not able to stay in touch at all like I thought I would.  I am at the family beach house right now, just so I can get this post written.  As you are reading it, we are on the long road back home!

Before I get to my POWW Faves, I thought I would share with you a couple shots of the kids, since I have been trying to be a better picture-taker ( I can not call myself a photographer!).
I brought my camera and tripod to the beach one day, and took these shots:




They have been having a blast!  And yes, I know Sawyer's hair is on the long side.... we are trying to train it to grow a certain way.  Not sure it will cooperate, so a trim may be in the future.

Anyhow, here are some links from the party that caught my eye this week.  And again, I apologize that I was not able to come and comment on all of them like I normally do, but I had no easy internet access.

I love this vintage modern desk paired with the map top from The Happier Homemaker- super cool!

The finish and colors on this dresser from Daisy Mae Belle are so beachy and beautiful!

I think this bed from Town and Prairie was just perfect for a Jack-over!


I love the sweet and soft color on this nightstand from My Simple Home Life.  Check out the surprise in the drawer, too!

How pretty is this china cabinet turned bathroom cabinet from Simply Vintageous?
Alright folks, next week I will be back full force, with two guests rather than one though since I am going to be playing a bit of catch up after the last month.... trip to Haven, friend visiting, and then a trip to the beach!  It has been crazy, and fun, and busy, and I have enjoyed every second.  But I am ready for my old routine for a bit. :)

What better place to be than a beach house, right? ;-) The pictures of the kids are great! As for features, I seriously don't know how you choose ~ they are ALL fantastic! (I'm still figuring out how to comment with the new page, so here I am from my old one!) :-)

Yay! Thanks for featuring my bed! It was fun to do. We went to a few beaches this summer... absolutely necessary to restore the soul! Enjoy it! Fall (eep!) will here before we know it!)

Yippie - the beach! Oh how I love it too - looks like you had a great picture taking time (your kids are gorgeous)!

We were at the beach too for 4th of July and had great time watching fireworks right by the water.

Glad you're back all rested and refreshed.

And I'm in love with that little mod desk!

...I have a college friend who is a realtor in Seabrook...he keeps trying to get me to buy a house there. I remind him that I teach school for a living an that pretty much shuts him up. I love the map-topped desk!

Chrissie said...

Beautiful pictures of your children. I'm glad you had a vacation! I'm heading to the beach tomorrow and can't wait to get my toes in the sand! Great picks as always.

Sounds wonderful Cassie! Glad you were able to sneak away with your family….maybe the lack of internet action was a blessing in disguise!

Welcome back, Cassie! Sounds like your trip to the beach was perfect, including no internet! :) Such sweet kiddo photos, they look happy as clams!

Julia @ 551Eastdesign said...

Welcome back!! Those pictures are SO sweet. I know I appreciate my parents taking us to the beach every summer now that I'm all grown up. Some of my favorite memories are from those trips. :)

The beach sounds like the perfect way to beat the heat! Nothing like an ocean breeze is there?! Great faves.

Sharon @ Elizabeth & Co. said...

My thoughts exactly Deb, perfect way to beat the heat! The kids are adorable Cassie and growing up right before our eyes! ... Super features!

Sixty-Fifth Avenue said...

I think you are ready to call yourself a photographer Cassie, the pictures of your adorable kids are fantastic!!

Good Time Charlie said...

Adorable picture of your kids! Wow, that is a LOT of people on one vacation! Brave fiance!! Nothing like diving headlong into getting to know a family like a giant family gathering. I had to experience something along these lines with Mark's family. Twice!

I esp love that piece from Daisy Mae Belle. So sweet!
