Amy and Dan's wedding at Gedney Farms

Last spring when we received save the dates for back to back weddings in Mass, it was an easy decision to spend the week in New England!  The second wedding was for my dear friend Amy who not only went to Trinity College with me, she also got me my job at SmithBucklin all the way back in 2005.  At the time, Amy got a small referral bonus and she likes to joke that she really should be paid for every year I continue to work there.  I agree!

Mark and I invited our friends, Steph (another TrinColl alum and the best friend there ever was and I'm not just saying that because she "sometimes" reads this!) and Matt, to stay the weekend with us at the cottage. We talked and laughed, we ate cheese fries and gravy, and we celebrated Amy and Dan! Here we are all dolled up (me in Lilly) - Fancy!

 Gedney Farm is a beautiful setting for a wedding and the ceremony was held outdoors at "The Knoll" behind the main barn.  The vows were amazing and thoughtful, and of course I cried because I always do. The officiant forgot to say, "you may be seated," and I'm short so my ceremony photo is just peoples heads - doh!  After cocktails, we headed indoors for dinner/dancing/party fun times.  Too funny how similar this venue is to the wedding last week...

Excellent TrinColl representation at this wedding! So fun to catch up with these folks.

Congrats to Amy and Dan!

Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale

Yesterday was the annual Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sale in Oaks, PA. I hadn't been in previous years but after the disaster that was Lilly for Target, I decided to give it a whirl. I'll start by saying....man, was I unprepared!!! My plan was to leave at 5:30am, drive three hours, maybe wait in line an hour at most, shop until 1 and be home by 4:30pm to collect Mason on time.  When I arrived at 8:45 my friends who stayed in PA the night prior had been in line since before 5am and were still waiting to get in! I love the dedication. Lucky for me, I jumped in line with them and 30 minutes later we were all shopping together.  Long story short, if not for these ladies I would have still been standing in line when it was time to start the trek home.

Long lines....

Lilly lovers...

I'm quite pleased with all my purchases! Three dresses, a zip up, two shorts and a silk blouse!

Blue, green and a splash of pink is my color palette for life! Now that I have some experience I'm ready for next year!
