celebrations!
Michael, Orvis, and I have been the hosts for a couple of wonderful celebrations over the past week! They were the absolute perfect excuses to break out my new banners from Earmark Invitations, the same company that made Brooke & Stewart’s custom pie banner for their July wedding. So much fun!
Celebrations began on Friday, the night before we left for Hupper, when our dear friends, Darcy & Carolyn came over with their newest family member, Enzo. How precious is that little face? It was a two-fold celebration, as Darcy celebrated her birthday the week before, right before they brought Enzo home!
Last night we had our favorite UNC-Maine-transplant over for an evening of her two favorites: baked pasta & Orvis. (No joke!) Oh, and cupcakes too!
For Darcy’s birthday we had a smorgasbord of ice cream flavors from the neighborhood shop, Willard Scoops. Lavender lemonade was served both nights (of course!), but last night I tried my hand at making these decorative drink stirrers, inspired by one of my most recent weddings and this post from one of my favorite blogs! Since we surprised Julia with a delicious cake (from our new Rockport favorite, 3 Dogs Cafe!) on the island for her birthday, we decided to make her cupcakes topped with these cute little flags!
OK. I am a terrible tease, but how cute is that face? (Don’t worry, he got a few dog treats after I took the photo!)
Aren’t we so lucky to have such wonderful friends to celebrate with delicious treats? Happy Thursday!
I am in love with Enzo. Oh my gosh, Mere! He’s adorable! Also, how cute is Orvis staring at the chocolate cupcake! Aaaah! Your life is so fun!
3 dogs cafe and sweet sensations is the BEST!!! OMG so good!!!
Ryan- we are so obsessed with everything from 3 Dogs & Sweet Sensations. I’m embarrassed by how much money we spent there over the weekend!
ah Meredith you are just discovering the joys of the Midcoast… you should come up some weekend and we will show you the best spots!
I am so spoiled!!! And I got a mention in two consecutive posts! Oh man – this is a big day for me! You guys are the best – thank you so much for last night :-) And I can’t wait to meet Enzo!!!!
Hey! Did you know that 3 Dogs/Sweet Sensations is where we got our wedding cakes from? Or is that why they’re your new favorite…hmmm. Maybe I am missing the obvious.
Your flags look so cute, Meredith! GREAT job!
