Monday we caught up on laundry, things around the house and had ribs on the grill. However, I decided to try out this recipe 5-Minute Individual Potato Gratin. I love this recipe, but for some reason mine were slightly soupy. I may have used to much cream. I highly recommend them though, we LOVED them. Sweetnicks is one of my FAVORITE blogs, she always has wonderful recipes, writes great reviews and her photos make me drool.
The rest of the week has been a blur. A volunteer shift, a wine event, which ended with a bite to eat on the beautiful patio at WA Frost on a wonderful late summer evening with old friends as well as some new.

A pewter metal Restoration Hardware charger -$3. I am planning on doing something fun in my fall decor with this.
Last but not least this great framed nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill for the guest room as well. I thought it would go perfectly with my Jack and Jill lamp and I love nursery rhymes and anything Jack and Jill. For $20, the framing alone was worth it!
Last but not least, my SWAP partner, Preppy in Pink sent me the most fabulous and incredible SWAP packages, I just loved everything! We took part in Kappa Preps Fall Swap. SO much fun, and I have really enjoyed finding a new blog friend who I seem to have so much in common with. Just look at all of the fabulous stuff!
Preppy in Pink really seemed to take the time to find out my likes and dislikes and I just loved everything. I have been WANTING the Lilly playing cards SO badly, I was SO excited to see them! The pink journal is just supple and gorgeous and I love to have books like this to capture thoughts, dreams and ideas in. I LOVE books on CD, the boy and I listen to them on a regular basis and this one takes place in NC which we have both been saying how we really would like to get back there and soon!
Coming back from the Junk Bonanza last night, the boy and I decided we would try to take in a movie for $5 opposed to $10 since it was just before 5. We got lucky and the "Time Travelers Wife" was starting at 4:40 and it was 4:30, PERFECT. So we popped in, caught the flick, VERY good, and the headed to Maggianos for dinner, NUM!
Today, working from home, the boy is off, we are off to have lunch, get to the boys, mow his lawn and then back to get ready for a night out! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Yeah! You got it...I'm glad you like it. I wasn't sure about the audiobook and I ment to put a regular book too. After I saw the picture I looked & the book is still on the counter :( Then I remembered it didn't fit in the box. :) Have a great day!
