It's cold, there's about 3 feet of snow that won't melt on the ground and our driveway is covered in ice.
Sound familiar?
Winter, I'm sorry, but I'm done with you. However, since I won't be jetting off on a tropical vacation any time soon, I figured I'd do the next best thing: post pictures from last summer. Maybe it will help warm me up.
One evening last August, my mom and I were invited to share a meal on our friend Pam's beautiful terrace.
Pam is an interior designer and has exquisite taste. Everything she does, she does with flair, glamour and with an eye toward presentation.
The table was beautifully set with MacKenzie-Childs dishes and a Lark Rodriques pottery heart at each placesetting.
The flowers were lovely and in keeping with the color palette for the evening.
Pam's hydrangea garden was also looking lovely.
I adore this whimsical teapot garden adornment.
Pam had recently been featured in Southern New England Home magazine. In fact, that's her work on the cover.
Looking out over the boats on Hingham Harbor, we enjoyed a bountiful selection of appetizers including this mouthwatering shrimp cocktail.
I must say, that looks really good right about now...
When it was time for the main course, we sat down on these beautiful iron chairs.
Dinner was colorful and delicious.
We chatted, we noshed, we laughed.
All too soon the summer night bloomed and it was time to bid farewell.
It was a lovely, relaxing evening full of friendship, pampering and delicious food.
What more could we ask for?
Dreaming of summer...
