Julieann Covino over at CreateGirl is one of my most favorite people… and I’ve never even met her! It must be our love of Red Sox baseball and interiors that unites us. Either way, I’ve been wanting to have her over to c+k for a while now, and I was so happy when she sent [...]
Anonymous I'm fond of those star lights! The other day I was thinking I should string lights on my balcony but didn't want to deal with an extension cord and finding an outlet. Perfect!
Anonymous I love outdoor entertaining…I only wish I didn't live in a state where it was 95* at 7pm. 
I like the cooler from NapaStyle. I have a rolling cooler cart that is aluminum with a marble base and I love it. I got it at Costco, but it looks similar to the one that is always in Frontgate. Best purchase we ever made for our deck/parties.
