Week View #9 {Update}

I haven't done one of the InstaFridays in a LONG while it seems.....
{This is usually a week's view of life, but this time it will be the last 2 months! gasp!}

A lot of LIFE has gone on since my last real update, so be prepared (as always) for lots of photos :)

Matt and I enjoyed Charleston's Restaurant Week in September

We went to Fat Hen and High Cotton- YUM

Matt, Mama Pepin, & I playing with the new Photo Booth "Chipmunk" view

at the Apple Store. Hysterical. We were laughing so hard at ourselves.

My first time out Shrimping

Every morning Beaux goes into our room to sleep in the sunshine :)

Such a sweet boy

So glad that I can call this city as mine (for the moment)

Went fishing with the boys, but we left due to the crazy mosquitos

Still, before the sun set, it was beautiful :)

Went to the Kentucky VS South Carolina football game with a few of our dear friends. 

Sadly, my poor Wildcats endured a beating :(

Matt and I enjoy shopping at our local Asian market

It even has it's own restaurant and the sweet lady said she would cook

Gung Bao Ji Ding for me if I ever wanted it!! MMMM!

Tried out HUSK (best new restaurant 2011- Bon Appetit & Southern Living) for lunch

 with a friend from KY and her friend. We enjoyed good food & shopping!

Dessert was superb and I wanted to steal their wine bottle glasses

Dinner date @ Whole Foods ;)

Went to Sullivan's to watch the sunset and had fun playing in the tide pools.

I've never seen so many starfish and hermit crabs in one place!!

Drove with our brother & sister in law to McClellanville for dinner

@ T.W.'s with our aunt & uncle that were closeby visiting.

Went just the other day to get my craving fix at RITA'S Ice :)

(and that's saying a lot when it's less than 10 min away!)

(This was just last night) Matt, his brother, and their friends went

shrimping last night and came home with over half a large cooler full!!!

So, that's all the catching up from the past two months!!

My life isn't as interesting as the photos appear to be, but 

I've been so blessed with our time here and being closer to family.

Happy Fall Bunting Vine Wreath

I love Fall {and I love this wreath}!!

I had a vine wreath on hand that I had already sprayed in Krylon's Ivy Leaf. 

I wrapped it with some shiny brown wire garland. 

I bought 3 bags of the styrofoam gourds in green, yellow, & orange

and hot glued them to the bottom half of the wreath (Thank You Dollar Tree).

Next, I made the "Happy Fall" bunting by cutting little triangles out of a linen type fabric, stamping out the letters, and sewing them onto a piece of twine with the zigzag stitch. 

I tied the ends at the back of the wreath.

Lastly, I made some felt rosebuds in yellow and orange and attached 

them in any open gaps I thought needed them :)

PS- Sorry for the yellow-ish photos- I am learning how to shoot in Manual so

please forgive me til I get the hang of it :)

See the full list of where I PARTY!!!
