Slow down

This weekend we did practically nothing
and it was wonderful.

I feel like we've been on the go so much lately that it was nice to enjoy some low key time with each other.  

Sunday afternoon was gorgeous here, so we decided to head out to the "farm" and do a little shooting.
You know you're in South Georgia when....

I didn't shoot much, so this was my perch


T setting up the target


We forgot ear plugs, so we had to manage with some McDonald's napkins stuffed in our ears - even though we looked pretty dumb it worked pretty well :)


T shooting his shotgun


and me shooting
I was such a chicken about the whole thing, but it was fun!   


Once we got finished we decided to ride around the farm and check things out.  It was such a pretty day, but it is already hot here.  It was nice to get a breeze going after sitting outside for awhile.

Something about dirt roads...makes me want to belt out a Dixie Chicks song or something



Even dirt roads have stop signs...who knew?



Once we got home I decided to make some Quacamole (my fav) with my favorite mix - the seasoning makes the quac extra special! I've been told mine is the best!  And believe me, I don't make "the best" anything!
You can find it at Wal-Mart for like a dollar - its worth every penny.  Just add a tomato, some lime juice and avocado - perfection!


Can you believe that T doesn't like quac?
He says its too "slimy"
so more for me... :)


I also threw on a little Jimmy Buffet while getting dinner ready
Such a classic.   It just puts you in such a relaxed mood



For dinner we grilled out hamburgers (something we don't do enough of)




Birdie had to check out what was going on - don't worry she didn't get on the table, she has manners


The finished product.
Of course, I forgot hamburger buns so we improvised with hot dog buns.
Although it was a little cumbersome, it worked fine!


Dinner is served


(you can see in the background our backyard looks like a mud pit, well it is...for now!  We T will be laying some sod...very, very soon)


happy husband 


and here was our evening entertainment
Birdie on the roof
again
I've never seen a cat love to play on the roof like her!  I guess it her own personal playground!


Hope y'all had a great weekend - isn't nice to slow down every once in awhile!?

Alice and Jay

Can I just tell y'all how behind I am in my blogging?
This post is sooo overdue!


But, I'm slowly catching up, so bare with me :)

A few weeks ago, I was tired of being cooped up in the lake house, so I decided to venture to Sasser.   Sasser is a small town near the lake - I heard they some cute antique shops there, so of course I had to go.

And they did!

Behold
 the most awesome store ever! 

Alice & Jay


They have lots of hard workers there
case in point, these two sweet kittens
adorbs


How amazing are these ferns???

Before I even walked in the store, I knew this place had serious potential!


I toured around and thought I had to feature this lovely store on my blog 
because they have a blog, too!

I photographed the store before Halloween
I told y'all, I have been a bad blogger!

Even though it's past Halloween, I had still have to share!  They are just tooo cute.

I mean, who doesn't love witch fingers in silver platters!?!



They have a great collection of antique furniture that they've either painted or refinished
And I love the cute Halloween signs!

Look at these cute witchy women they make!
Too funny!!!

 

Loved these tables, but they were sold :(


Just look at this bedding!  
I die.

Cute desk painted with Chalk Paint, which they carry
I've heard this stuff is fantastic!  Can't wait till I have a project, so I can try it out on!

How fun are these signs!?!



They also make lamps!
yes, they make lamps!
Love these guys!

I sooo regret not getting this red chest!
I loooove it!


How fun is this centerpiece?  Love the use of brooms for Halloween!
Such a good idea for a party!
Just toooo cute!



Seriously, it just kept getting cuter!

Should have gotten this, too!


They have recently expanded their building
I am dying over this exposed brick wall!
Love, Love


Just look at those lamps!
Want.



The decorations were just so fun
It put me in the perfect spooky spirit

FREE 
Spider Rings
Score!!!

Alice & Jay is such a fun shop - I chatted with one of the owners, Jay, for awhile and he is just as amazing and wonderful as his shop!  Plus, he is super sweet and awesome!
If you are ever in Sasser, GA, you must stop by!
If you won't be in South Georgia anytime soon, keep up with them via their blog


or their website

You will probably find me there this weekend!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
Thanks for letting share this sweet shop!
xx.
