big fun at the boat dock

The mosquitoes are famished and the flies have been buzzing about your potato salad since last years cookout. Summer is here. To celebrate, my pal Kalynn invited a few girls to an evening picnic at a nearby boat dock to kick off this laid back season.

I knew Kalynn would enjoy this pincushion ring while working on her summer projects. The fabrics are perfect for her. These cute and practical rings are made by Arkansas based artist, Susannah Rodgers. Her store, Art Nest, can be found on Etsy. I first spotted them on the very charming blog, makegrowgather

Kalynn gave everyone this fun t shirt to wear on the 4th of July.

Enjoy your weekend.
